The Experience Platform SDKs give you controls to manage consent and privacy obligations under the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Developers can retrieve locally stored identities and set opt status flags for data collection and transmission.
Before implementing these controls, read Adobe's GDPR documentation.
When Adobe provides software and services to an enterprise, Adobe acts as a data processor for any personal data it processes and stores as part of providing these services. As a data processor, Adobe processes personal data in accordance with your company’s permission and instructions, as set out in your agreement with Adobe. As a data controller, you can use the Experience Platform SDKs to support GDPR retrieve and delete requests from your mobile apps.
You can set a privacy status to ensure collection of data suits your user's preferences.
Expected Behavior | Opt In | Opt Out | Opt Unknown |
Analytics | Hits are sent | Hits not sent | Hits queued |
Audience Manager | Signals, ID syncs are sent | Signals, ID syncs not sent | Syncs queued |
Campaign Classic | User data stored, calls are sent | User data cleared, calls not sent | User data stored, calls not sent |
Target | Mbox requests are sent | Mbox requests not sent | Mbox requests queued |
Campaign Standard | User data stored, calls are sent | User data cleared, calls not sent | User data stored, calls are queued |
Analytics users: If your report suite is not timestamp enabled, hits are discarded until the privacy status changes to opt in
.
To programmatically set the privacy status for the app user:
You can set the privacy status to one of the following values:
MobilePrivacyStatus.OPT_IN
MobilePrivacyStatus.OPT_OUT
MobilePrivacyStatus.UNKNOWN
To understand the expected behavior, see the Set and get privacy status table above.
public static void setPrivacyStatus(final MobilePrivacyStatus privacyStatus);
MobileCore.setPrivacyStatus(MobilePrivacyStatus.OPT_OUT);
You can set privacy status to one of the following values:
ACPMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn
ACPMobilePrivacyStatusOptOut
ACPMobilePrivacyStatusUnknown
To understand the expected behavior, see the Set and get privacy status table above.
+ (void) setPrivacyStatus: (ACPMobilePrivacyStatus) status;
[ACPCore setPrivacyStatus:ACPMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn];
class func setPrivacyStatus(_ status: ACPMobilePrivacyStatus) {}
ACPCore.privacyStatus = ACPMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn
You can also programmatically view the current privacy status by using the following:
The following API returns an enum representation of the privacy status for the user.
The enum representation of the privacy status that corresponds to the following statuses:
MobilePrivacyStatus.OPT_IN
MobilePrivacyStatus.OPT_OUT
MobilePrivacyStatus.UNKNOWN
void getPrivacyStatus(AdobeCallback<MobilePrivacyStatus> callback);
callback is invoked after the privacy status is available.
If an instance of AdobeCallbackWithError
is provided, and you are fetching the attributes from the Mobile SDK, the timeout value is 5000ms. If the operation times out or an unexpected error occurs, the fail
method is called with the appropriate AdobeError
.
MobileCore.getPrivacyStatus(new AdobeCallback<MobilePrivacyStatus>() {@Overridepublic void call(MobilePrivacyStatus value) {System.out.println("getPrivacyStatus: " + status);}});
The enum representation of the privacy status that corresponds to the following statuses:
ACPMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn
ACPMobilePrivacyStatusOptOut
ACPMobilePrivacyStatusUnknown
+ (void) getPrivacyStatus: (nonnull void (^) (ACPMobilePrivacyStatus status)) callback;+ (void) getPrivacyStatusWithCompletionHandler: (nonnull void (^) (ACPMobilePrivacyStatus status, NSError* _Nullable error)) completionHandler;
callback is invoked after the privacy status is available.
completionHandler is invoked with the current privacy status, or error if an unexpected error occurs or the request times out. The default timeout is 5000ms.
[ACPCoregetPrivacyStatus:^(ACPMobilePrivacyStatus status) {switch (status) {case ACPMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn: NSLog(@"Privacy Status: Opt-In"); break;}}];[ACPCore getPrivacyStatusWithCompletionHandler:^(ACPMobilePrivacyStatus status, NSError * _Nullable error) {if (error) {// handle error here} else {// handle the retrieved privacy status}}];
class func getPrivacyStatus(_ callback: @escaping (_ status: ACPMobilePrivacyStatus) -> Void) {//}class func getPrivacyStatus(withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (_ status: ACPMobilePrivacyStatus, _ error: Error?) -> Void) {//}
callback is invoked after the privacy status is available.
completionHandler is invoked with the current privacy status, or error if an unexpected error occurs or the request times out. The default timeout is 5000ms.
ACPCore.getPrivacyStatus({ status inswitch status {case ACPMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn:print("Privacy Status: Opt-In")default:break}})ACPCore.getPrivacyStatus(withCompletionHandler: { status, error inif error != nil {// handle error here} else {// handle the retrieved privacy status}})
To retrieve all the identifier data stored locally by the SDK as a JSON string, and send this data to your servers, use the getSdkIdentities API from the Mobile Core extension.
To update the SDK configuration, programmatically, use the following information to change your privacy configuration values. For more information, Configuration API reference.
