Privacy Policy

Last updated September 2025

ViewTikStory is a lookup tool for public TikTok profiles. This page explains what happens when you use it.

What we collect

We do not require an account and we do not ask for personal information. When you search, your browser sends the username you typed to our server so we can fetch the matching public profile. Standard server logs may temporarily record request metadata such as IP address and timestamp for security and rate limiting. These logs are rotated and are not used to build a profile of you.

Data Protection & Retention Overview

🔒 Zero Collection Personal Identifiers

No email, password, name, phone, or TikTok account credentials required or stored.

🛡️ Edge Decoupled Client IP & Headers

Proxied via distributed nodes. TikTok receives our server edge request, not your personal IP.

💾 Device-Only Search History

Recent searches reside strictly in your local browser storage. You can clear it with 1 click.

⚡ Transient Only Video Streams & Audio

Demuxed in memory on-the-fly and piped directly to your screen without permanent storage.

What we do not do

We do not sell data. We do not post, follow, like, or interact with any account on your behalf. We never sign in to TikTok as you, because the tool does not use your TikTok account at all.

Cookies

The core lookup works without tracking cookies. If analytics or advertising are added later, this policy will be updated and any required consent will be requested first.

Third parties

Depending on configuration, profile data may be fetched through a third-party data provider. Those requests are made from our server; your identity is not shared with them.

Your choices

Because we store no account data, there is nothing tied to you to export or delete. For questions, use the contact route listed on the About page.
