Why can't I add the TikTok app due to privacy policy issues?

Topic summary

Central issue: Multiple merchants cannot proceed past the TikTok app’s privacy policy requirement during installation, even though they say a privacy policy is already in place on their store.

Recent updates: Participants report the same blockade and have not found a workaround. One is awaiting a callback from support; another is waiting for a response and intends to share any solution discovered.

Context: The TikTok app appears to validate the presence or configuration of a store’s privacy policy before connecting. “Privacy policy” refers to the store document outlining how customer data is collected, used, and protected.

Actions/decisions: Merchants are seeking support assistance and plan to post any fixes once identified.

Outcome: No confirmed solution yet; discussion remains open.

Unanswered questions: Why the app fails to recognize existing privacy policies; what exact policy format, placement, or settings are required; whether this is a broader validation bug or configuration issue.

Attachments/media: None mentioned; discussion is text-only.
