Principles

  • Public pages only, read without logging in. No private profiles, no biometric data.
  • Reviews are counted by day. Reviewer names, avatars and review text are not collected.
  • Videos on a product card are counted. The creator who posted one is shown as the video itself shows them: picture, name, handle, follower count. Pictures are loaded from TikTok and never copied. No bio is collected, private accounts are left out, and a creator can ask to be removed.
  • Listing images are shown from TikTok's own CDN. HashIQ does not store a copy.
  • Sold counts, prices, ratings and review totals are exact, as the page showed them at the read time. Daily sales and the Score are computed from them and say so.
  • Daily series are kept 730 days. Removal requests are handled within 7 days.
  • How the Score is computed from these readings is in the methodology.
