• How can we be ready (Except)?
• tl;dr As a developer, you need to offer an option to opt out from data collection (aka Analytics)
• Practically
• Add an option to your settings to opt out of Analytics (a switch / button)
• Call the related API’s to disable Analytics internally
• What does Appcelerator offer?
• Analytics is enabled by default in Titanium. Verify your tiapp.xml: <analytics>true|false</analytics>
• A new collection of API’s to comply with GDPR:
• Opt-in or out from Analytics at runtime: Ti.Analytics.optedOut = true|false
• Check opt-in-status at runtime: Ti.Analytics.isOptedOut()
• Release: Next week!
