The European Commission said it sent TikTok a "request for information" on the TikTok Lite app that has been quietly released in France and Spain.
The commission wants to know about the risk assessment that TikTok should have carried out before deploying the app in the European Union.
"We have already been in direct contact with the Commission regarding this product and will respond to the request for information," TikTok said in a statement.
