What triggers it

High-risk personal information in the video or caption, even your own or shared with consent: home address, login credentials, payment card details, ID numbers. Moderate-risk info (phone, email, date of birth, medical info, someone's image, leaked private messages) may be removed if it causes distress.

What TikTok says

“This includes content that someone has posted themselves or that they consented to being shared by others.”

Blur or crop every address, ID, card, label and login screen; blur other people's details in screenshots.
