BOTLOBBIESAre website statistics and advertising measurement the same data collection?
No. The privacy page describes website statistics and advertising measurement separately. Their stated data categories differ, so a restriction or control described for one flow should not be assumed to cover every other record used by the service.
Read the website statistics statement in context
The website statistics notice describes visits, clicks, purchases, and approximate country or city information used to improve the site. It says those statistics do not store raw IP addresses, names, messages, or credentials in that collection. The analytics code restricts accepted event fields and uses bounded identifiers for its supported purposes. This does not mean an account email stops existing in the account system, or that payment references and operational bot data are governed by the exact same statement as a visit event.
Read the advertising notice separately
The TikTok measurement notice describes browser and connection data, advertising identifiers, and retention of an IP and browser agent in that particular flow. It also describes its own opt-out control, supported no-tracking signals, and pending event delivery behavior. Those details are different from the short website statistics summary. A user should therefore not read the statistics phrase no IP as proof that no advertising system receives or retains connection information. Use the advertising section when deciding whether to disable that measurement on the current browser.
Make a request that identifies the relevant flow
If you want to change an advertising preference, use the control provided on the privacy page. If you want access to or deletion of particular stored data, describe which category concerns you through the privacy contact. For a bot failure, provide the operational symptom rather than a dump of analytics identifiers. Keeping the categories separate helps the request reach the right investigation. It also avoids promising that one toggle erases website accounts, payment history, game authorization, and every provider's records at the same moment.
