iOS SDK Security
With the release of iOS 14, Apple has brought additional privacy considerations into effect. When releasing an application to the App Store, publishers are required to declare what information their app and any 3rd party SDKS within the app is collecting about their users.
In order to help Rokt partners answer these questions, we have put together the following information about the data that the Rokt iOS SDK collects. These attributes are collected in order to select the most relevant offers for the customer and are not shared with any 3rd parties without explicit consent. It should be noted that Rokt’s processing of personal information is governed by Rokt’s Partner Agreements and Privacy Policy and that the Rokt UX provides privacy disclosures to customers by presenting its privacy policy (and that of the partner, if requested) within the Rokt Widget.
