When signing up for a tik-tok account, I put in a birth date, a username, an email address for verifcation and that was it. I didn't need to provide a drivers license, verify that the name I put in was my actual name, that the birth date was my actual birth date. Location isn't allowed nor was it requested and neither was Nearby devices. It's actually been a much better behaved application than any American social media app.
