Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 9, 2026
1. Overview
TikRec operates the Telegram bot @tikrec_live_bot and the website tikrec.com. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how you can contact us about privacy or copyright requests.
TikRec records publicly available TikTok live streams requested by users through the bot or watchlist system. The website shows recording metadata and preview images to help users find the bot.
2. Data we collect
Telegram account data
When you use the bot, we store the data needed to run your account:
- Telegram user ID, username, and display name.
- Your plan, subscription status, limits, and referral state.
- Your watchlist and recording requests.
- Support tickets, bot commands, timestamps, and abuse-prevention signals.
We do not receive your phone number, private contacts, or messages in unrelated chats.
Recording data
For recordings, we store creator usernames, live titles, durations, file sizes, preview images, delivery state, and technical status. These records help deliver videos, show archive pages, and diagnose failures.
Website and analytics data
We use analytics to understand page views, referrals, device type, approximate location, and conversion events. We use this data in aggregate to improve the website and bot funnel.
Payments
Paid plans are handled by a subscription provider. We store subscription identifiers, billing cycle, plan, renewal state, and expiry date. We do not store full payment card details.
Legal contact forms
If you submit a copyright, privacy, or legal request, we store the details you provide so we can review the request and respond by email.
3. How we use data
We use your data to:
- Run the bot, watchlists, recording queue, delivery, archive, and support flow.
- Apply plan limits and process subscription changes.
- Detect abuse, spam, scraping, fraud, and service attacks.
- Debug failed recordings, missing deliveries, broken media, and billing issues.
- Improve the website, SEO pages, and Telegram conversion flow.
- Review takedown notices, privacy requests, and legal complaints.
4. Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with providers needed to operate TikRec:
- Telegram, for bot messages and file delivery.
- Payment and subscription processors, for paid plans.
- Analytics, security, hosting, media delivery, and storage providers.
- Legal authorities or complainants when required to process lawful requests.
5. Cookies and local storage
The website may use analytics cookies, security cookies, and local storage for preferences such as theme. You can block cookies in your browser, though some features may work less reliably.
6. Retention
We keep account data while your account remains active or while we need it for security, billing, support, legal, or abuse-prevention reasons. Recording metadata may remain in the public archive unless removed for legal, privacy, safety, or operational reasons.
We may delete media files, previews, logs, and temporary processing artifacts when they are no longer needed for delivery, archive, support, or compliance.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may request access, correction, deletion, portability, or objection to certain processing. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
For privacy requests, use the legal contact form on the DMCA and legal contact page.
8. Security
We use access controls, encrypted connections, monitoring, and operational safeguards to protect user data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security.
9. Children
TikRec is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal data to TikRec, contact us so we can review and delete it where required.
10. Changes
We may update this policy when the service changes. The effective date above shows when we last revised it.
