Respecting data privacy
Foreword
So that you can respect user privacy and be in accordance with the regulations in different countries, the tracker makes two features available:
- Disabling user tracking
- Hashing user IDs
Disabling user tracking
If your application offers a screen allowing the user to enable or disable statistical tracking, you can save this information via the static DoNotTrack method of the Tracker class.
Hits will nonetheless be sent. Only the idclient variable enabling use tracking will contain the value opt-out
Examples
- Disabling user tracking
123456public void StopTracking(){Tracker.DoNotTrack = true;}
Hashing user ID
The SDK allows for the automatic addition of user ID in your hits (Android ID, Advertising ID). You may also add your own user ID via the trackers SetParam method.
To ensure visitor anonymity, all while keeping their identification in your analyses, it is possible to hash the unique ID (SHA-256). To do this, use the trackers SetConfig method as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
public MainPage() { this.InitializeComponent(); tracker = SmartTag.Instance.defaultTracker; tracker.SetConfig("hashUserId", "true", this); } public void TrackerReady() { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("hashing enabled"); } |
