Privacy and GDPR

Edit in GitHub Log an issue

The Adobe Experience Platform SDKs give you controls to manage consent and privacy obligations, such as 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 the Adobe Experience Platform Privacy Service 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 privacy retrieve and delete requests from your mobile apps.

Setup steps

The following sections provide details on how you can collect consent and privacy status to ensure collection of data suits your user's preferences.

Depending on the mobile extensions you use, there are two ways of collecting and enforcing consent preferences when using the Experience Platform SDKs:

When using the Edge Network mobile extensions, you should use the Consent for Edge Network extension.
When using Adobe Experience Cloud mobile extensions, you should use privacy status settings.

The two options are documented in detail below.

If you are using a mix of Edge Network and Adobe Experience Cloud mobile extensions, please follow the steps for configuring both consent and privacy status settings. See also the frequently asked questions about consent and privacy settings or identities.

Using Experience Platform SDKs for Edge Network

You can set the collect consent status to ensure collection of data suits your user's preferences.

Extension	Collect (y)	Collect (n)	Collect (pending)
Edge Network	Hits are sent	Hits are not sent	Hits are queued

Note: When no default collect consent value is defined in configuration, the SDK defaults to Yes (y) for collect consent.

Updating the collect consent status to No (n) does not reset or clear the identities of the current user. If you need to reset all current identities, use the MobileCore.resetIdentities() API.

Android

Java

You can set the collect consent to one of the following values:

To understand the expected behavior, see the Update and get collect consent preferences table above.

getConsents

You can programmatically view the current collect consent preferences status in a dictionary representation by using the following API.

Java

Syntax

public static void getConsents(final AdobeCallback<Map<String, Object>> callback);
Copied to your clipboard
public static void getConsents(final AdobeCallback<Map<String, Object>> callback);

callback - callback invoked with the current consents of the extension. If an AdobeCallbackWithError is provided, an AdobeError, can be returned in the eventuality of any error that occured while getting the user consents. The callback may be invoked on a different thread.

Example

Consent.getConsents(new AdobeCallback<Map<String, Object>>() {
    @Override
    public void call(Map<String, Object> currentConsents) {
        if (currentConsents == null) { return; }

getIdentities

When using the Edge Network extensions, use the Identity.getIdentities API to retrieve all the identifier data stored locally by the SDK and send this data to your servers.

Configuration keys

To programmatically update the SDK configuration, use the following information to change your default consent values. For more information, see the configuration API reference.

Key	Description
`consent.default`	Defines the set of default consent preferences for the SDK in XDM format. For more details, see Privacy/Personalization/Marketing Preferences (Consents) Schema.

Set and get privacy status

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 are not sent	Hits are queued
Audience Manager	Signals, ID syncs are sent	Signals, ID syncs are not sent	Syncs are queued
Campaign Classic	User data is stored, calls are sent	User data is cleared, calls are not sent	User data is stored, calls are not sent
Target	Mbox requests are sent	Mbox requests are not sent	Mbox requests are queued
Campaign Standard	User data is stored, calls are sent	User data is cleared, calls are not sent	User data is 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.

getSdkIdentities

To retrieve all the identifier data stored locally by the SDK as a JSON string, use the getSdkIdentities API from the Mobile Core extension.

When using both Edge Network and Adobe Solutions extensions, use both Identity.getIdentities API and MobileCore.getSdkIdentities APIs to retrieve all the identifier data stored locally by the SDK.

Configuration keys
