TikTok has announced plans to create hundreds of jobs in Ireland with the construction of a new data centre.
It's the company's first in Europe and the investment will be worth around €420 million.
The centre will store videos, messages and other data from European users of the video-sharing app.
Roland Cloutier, Global Chief Information Security Officer, TikTok;
"This new regional data centre will deliver tangible benefits, including enabling faster loading time that will help our TikTok community to enjoy an even better experience."
TikTok says protecting people's privacy and data will continue to be its priority.
American president Donald Trump has threatened to ban the app in the US.
He claims the app is a national security risk, something the Chinese owned company denies.
