Why TikTok data has value for AI training
Owned videos can document practical demonstrations and business activities.
Captions and post context can connect the visual material with the subject being explained.
What stays private
Select company-owned media and records, reviewing third-party music, identifiable people and private interactions.
Telegraph Lab reviews the proposed material with you and agrees how sensitive information will be handled. Preparation can include excluding material, redacting details and replacing personal identifiers. Your company keeps ownership; the licensing agreement defines the material, permitted uses and authorized recipients.
