The Digital Determinants App is for a research study run by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). It helps us securely study how digital habits might affect real-life behaviours.

 

Important: Use of this app is 100% voluntary. You are here because you have provided informed consent to take part in the TikTok data donation activity as part of an LSHTM research study.

 

What the App Does

 

This app lets you securely share a copy of your TikTok activity in four simple steps:

1.    Connect: You start the process by clicking the “Continue with TikTok” button below.

2.    Choose: A screen will show you exactly what data categories are being shared.

3.    Authorise: You will be sent to TikTok’s official login page to give your permission.

4.    Confirm: Once finished, you will get a Research Completion Code. Please copy and paste this code into the main study survey when you finish.

 

Keeping You Safe

 

To protect your privacy, this app is “passive”. This means it CANNOT and will NOT

·      See or store your TikTok password.

·      Post anything to your profile, message your friends, or see your private messages (DMs).

·       Change your TikTok account settings or bio.

 

How We Protect Your Information

 

LSHTM is responsible for keeping your information safe. Your information is sent directly to LSHTM’s secure server. All personal identifiers – including your TikTok username, account ID, and any information that could identify you – are removed before we start our research. This means we study patterns across people, not individuals. We follow strict UK data protection laws to keep your information safe – it is never used for advertising or commercial purposes.

 

Relationship to TikTok

 

We are separate from TikTok. Using this tool does not change your TikTok account or your relationship with them.
