Privacy

Publishers are responsible for maintaining compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations. The HyprMX SDK provides a number of flags publishers can use to pass the appropriate value to HyprMX to protect and maintain user's data and privacy.

These flags support compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), US privacy laws (CPRA, CPA, VCDPA, etc.), Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and other regional privacy laws. However, consent and privacy requirements may extend beyond these circumstances and should be applied accordingly.

Consent Flag

HyprMX provides an API with a consentStatus parameter with the below values for jurisdictions that require passing consent that takes a ConsentStatus value depending on the user consent collected by your app. This flag will be used to indicate a user’s opt-in or opt-out consent for the collection and use of personal data under applicable laws and jurisdictions (GDPR, CPRA, etc.).

If a user provided consent in jurisdictions that require opt-in consent or did not opt out of collection or usage of personal data in jurisdictions that require opt-out consent, set a user’s consent status as below in the setter:

Java

HyprMX.INSTANCE.setConsentStatus(ConsentStatus.CONSENT_GIVEN); // If user provided consent, set this to CONSENT_GIVEN

Kotlin

HyprMX.setConsentStatus(ConsentStatus.CONSENT_GIVEN) // If user provided consent, set this to CONSENT_GIVEN

If a user did not provide consent in jurisdictions that require opt-in consent or opted out of collection or usage of personal data in jurisdictions that require opt-out consent, set a user’s consent status as below in the setter:

Java

HyprMX.INSTANCE.setConsentStatus(ConsentStatus.CONSENT_DECLINED); // If user declined consent, set this to CONSENT_DECLINED

Kotlin

HyprMX.setConsentStatus(ConsentStatus.CONSENT_DECLINED) // If user declined consent, set this to CONSENT_DECLINED

If you do not know the user’s consent status set it as unknown in the setter:

Java

HyprMX.INSTANCE.setConsentStatus(ConsentStatus.CONSENT_STATUS_UNKNOWN); // If you don't have consent status for the user, set this to CONSENT_STATUS_UNKNOWN

Kotlin

HyprMX.setConsentStatus(ConsentStatus.CONSENT_STATUS_UNKNOWN) // If you don't have consent status for the user, set this to CONSENT_STATUS_UNKNOWN

Age-restricted User Flag

To adhere to the strictest laws and policies, HyprMX treats users under 16 as children. HyprMX SDK provides an API to assist publishers with child-directed treatment of users to support compliance with applicable regional laws and regulations such as COPPA, GDPR, and Google Play Store policies. The publisher is responsible for determining when to flag the end user as age-restricted user and adhering to applicable laws and policies that require child-directed treatment.

If the user requires a child-directed treatment, set the ageRestrictedUser parameter to true.

Java

HyprMX.INSTANCE.setAgeRestrictedUser(true); // Set this to true if the user is under 16 or requires child-directed treatment

Kotlin

HyprMX.setAgeRestrictedUser(true)

If the user doesn't require a child-directed treatment, set the ageRestrictedUser parameter to false.

Java

HyprMX.INSTANCE.setAgeRestrictedUser(false); // Set this to false if the user is not under 16 or if you don't know whether the user is age restricted

Kotlin

HyprMX.setAgeRestrictedUser(false)

Google Play Families policy

Google sets forth guidelines and requirements for publishers to follow if their target audience includes children. It is the responsibility of the app developer to ensure compliance with Google Play's Families Program, including, but not limited to, Google Play Families Policies.

If your app is primarily directed at children, you must indicate to your HyprMX Account Manager so the app can be designated as a child-directed app in the backend. Additionally, you may use the Age-restricted User Flag to prevent access to the AAID for end-users flagged as children.

If your app is directed at a mixed audience, including children, you must use the Age-restricted User Flag to appropriately flag any user who is considered a child under applicable jurisdiction as age-restricted user to prevent access to the AAID for end-users flagged as children.
