OTT Apps (Chromecast, Roku) - The OTT SDKs provide General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-ready APIs that allow you to set opt status flags for data collection and transmission, and to retrieve locally stored identities.

You can control whether or not Analytics data is sent on a specific device using the following settings:

• The privacyDefault setting in the ADBMobile.json config file. This controls the initial setting and persists until it is changed in code.

• The ADBMobile().setPrivacyStatus() method.

  • Opt out:

    • Chromecast:

      code language-none
      ADBMobile.config.setPrivacyStatus(ADBMobile.config.PRIVACY_STATUS_OPT_OUT)

    • Roku:

      code language-none
      ADBMobile().setPrivacyStatus(ADBMobile().PRIVACY_STATUS_OPT_OUT)

    note important
    IMPORTANT
    When a user opts out of tracking, all of the persisted device data and IDs will be purged until the user opts back in.

  • Opt back in:

    • Chromecast:

      code language-none
      ADBMobile.config.setPrivacyStatus(ADBMobile.config.PRIVACY_STATUS_OPT_IN)

    • Roku:

      code language-none
      ADBMobile().setPrivacyStatus(ADBMobile().PRIVACY_STATUS_OPT_IN)

  • Return the current setting:

    • Chromecast:

      code language-none
      ADBMobile.config.getPrivacyStatus()

    • Roku:

      code language-none
      ADBMobile().getPrivacyStatus()

After the privacy setting is changed using setPrivacyStatus, the change is permanent until it is changed again using this method, or the app is uninstalled and reinstalled.

vids = ADBMobile().getAllIdentifiers()
