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 (for example, 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.

Set and get privacy status

You can set a privacy status to ensure collection of data suits your user's preferences.

To programmatically set the privacy status for the app user:

public static void setPrivacyStatus(final MobilePrivacyStatus privacyStatus);

MobileCore.setPrivacyStatus(MobilePrivacyStatus.OPT_OUT);

+ (void) setPrivacyStatus: (ACPMobilePrivacyStatus) status;

[ACPCore setPrivacyStatus:ACPMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn

You can also programmatically view the current privacy status by using the following:

void getPrivacyStatus(final AdobeCallback callback);

MobileCore.getPrivacyStatus(new AdobeCallback<MobilePrivacyStatus>() {
    @Override
    public void call(MobilePrivacyStatus value) {
          System.out.println("getPrivacyStatus: " + status);
    }
});

+ (void) getPrivacyStatus: (nonnull void (^) (ACPMobilePrivacyStatus status)) callback;

[ACPCore 
getPrivacyStatus:^(ACPMobilePrivacyStatus status) { 
     switch (status) { 
          case ACPMobilePrivacyStatusOptIn: NSLog(@"Privacy Status: Opt-In");               break; 
          } 
}];

Retrieving stored identifiers

The following SDK identities (as applicable) are locally stored:

• Company Context - IMS Org IDs

• Experience Cloud ID (MID)

• User IDs

• Integration codes (ADID, push IDs)

• Data source IDs (DPID, DPUUID)

• Analytics IDs (AVID, AID, VID, and associated RSIDs)

• Target legacy IDs (TNTID, TNT3rdpartyID)

• Audience Manager ID (UUID)

To retrieve data as a JSON string from the SDKs, and send this data to your servers, use the following:

MobileCore.getSdkIdentities()

MobileCore.getSdkIdentities(new AdobeCallback<String>() {
    @Override
    public void call(String value) {
        // handle the json string
    }
});

[ACPCore getSdkIdentities:]

[ACPCore getSdkIdentities:^(NSString * _Nullable content){
    NSLog(content);
}];

Configuration keys

To update the SDK configuration, programmatically, use the following information to change your privacy configuration values. For more information, Configuration API reference.
