TikTok unlawfully collected unique device identifiers on Android for at least 15 months, according to a new investigation by The Wall Street Journal. The app is said to have been secretly scooping up a piece of data called the MAC address, which is unique for every phone and enables advertisers to identify and track you across the internet.

Since 2015, both Apple and Google have prohibited apps to read devices’ MAC addresses on iOS and Android. TikTok, however, reportedly circumvented these restrictions by engineering a workaround that a study cited by the Journal found inside nearly 350 other Android apps.
