- You can revoke access at any time by disconnecting your TikTok account in Settings or through TikTok's own app management settings.
- If you revoke access from TikTok directly, we receive a webhook notification and automatically remove your stored tokens.
- We do not access your TikTok direct messages, contacts, or any data beyond the scopes listed during authorization.
