Partner Data Policies
As a TikTok MMP partner, Singular adheres to the TikTok For Business data retention requirement: TikTok user-level data is removed after 6 months of original attribution. After 6 months, users attributed to TikTok For Business are treated/marked as "Organic" and reflected as such in both aggregate and user-level reporting in Singular.
As of March 22, 2022, TikTok requires MMPs to mask user-level data for view-through campaigns due to user privacy concerns. Therefore, if a conversion is attributed to a TikTok view-through (impression-based) campaign, it is displayed as follows both in your postbacks and in the logs:
- Network: "TikTok Restricted"
- Campaign: "TikTok Restricted"
