Kenneth Glueck, an EVP at Oracle who advises the company's CEO, will join the board of directors.

Prior to the joint venture deal, Oracle was already working closely with TikTok's US Data Security division (USDS). The company has stored US TikTok users' data for years.

(((Larry Ellison))), who is also a financial participant in a bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery's business, is the chairman and cofounder of Oracle and a longtime Trump ally.

Oracle, which currently works with TikTok on data security, is expected to remain its "trusted security partner" tasked with safeguarding "sensitive US user data," Chew wrote in a December memo to staffers.

TikTok's new US owners will retrain the content recommendation algorithm on US user data "to ensure the content feed is free from outside manipulation," per the December memo.

Oracle did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
