Notes on policy and security when live streaming on multiple platforms
Content policy and ownership rights in multi-platform livestreaming

- TikTok: Prioritize original content, strictly moderate sensitive elements, and product advertising must comply with specific regulations.
- Consistent messaging: Content needs to be adjusted to suit each platform to avoid being flagged as spam or violating community standards.
Personal data and business information security
Multi-platform livestreaming means sharing data across multiple systems, increasing the risk of information leakage. According to DPS.MEDIA, businesses should use licensed live streaming software and limit access from unknown third parties. A real case study: A cosmetics brand in Ho Chi Minh City once leaked customer information due to using free, unverified livestream software, leading to loss of reputation and revenue.
| Platform | Privacy policy | Recommendations from DPS.MEDIA |
|---|---|---|
| Protect personal data, control application access rights | Only use official applications, periodically check access permissions | |
| TikTok | Monitor content, limit sharing of sensitive information | Hide personal information, do not share customer data on livestream |
A new perspective: Leveraging policies to build trust
instead of seeing regulations as barriers, DPS.MEDIA encourages SMEs to turn them into competitive advantages. Publicly complying with policies and security helps businesses build customer trust and creates a solid foundation for multi-platform digital marketing campaigns. As security expert Nguyen Minh Duc once stated: “Businesses that proactively ensure transparency in security will be prioritized by customers in an increasingly complex digital environment.”
