Use Tiktok Pixel GDPR compliant. Follow these instructions:

The GDPR compliant use of TikTok Pixel

First of all, we have to clarify whether consent is required in order to integrate TikTok Pixel GDPR compliant.

Due to the fact that the integration of TikTok Pixel is not necessary for the operation of the website, the integration requires consent.

In principle, the integration of TikTok Pixel can only be carried out on the basis of consent, since other legal bases are not suitable.

Data is transmitted to the independent controller TikTok Technology Limited. This information must be included in the privacy policy.

1. Obtain explicit consent from users by opt-in

Before TikTok Pixel becomes active on the website and begins to collect user data, the user must first give their explicit consent. If the user refuses to consent, which must also be possible - TikTok Pixel must not be activated. No data is allowed to be forwarded to the 3rd party. This opt-in procedure is mandatory in order to comply with data protection regulations.

2. Always offer the option to revoke the consent (opt-out)

Even if the user has agreed to the use of TikTok Pixel, he or she must still be given the opportunity to reverse this decision and deactivate tracking at any time. For this reason, it is necessary to provide an opt-out procedure that is easy for the website visitor to access at any time. The user must be able to revoke his consent. The option to revoke must be just as easy as the option to consent.

3. Mention TikTok Pixel in the privacy policy completely, simply and transparently

The privacy policy on your website must be comprehensive, transparent and accurate. It should be readable and understandable by anyone, even without legal training. It is important to include a section on TikTok Pixel that clearly describes what data is collected, for what purpose it is used and who is responsible for it, as well as whether data is shared and what legal basis applies.
