TikTok has responded to concerns raised by bipartisan Senate leaders regarding the storage of sensitive information of American creators on servers in China.

The company's statement comes after TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew made "incorrect claims" to Congress about the data storage practices of the popular social media platform. While Chew testified that “American data has always been stored in Virginia and Singapore,” a Forbes investigation revealed that TikTok had stored financial information of prominent American and European creators, including those in the TikTok Creator Fund, on servers located in China.
