GDPR - Appodeal, GPGS, GameCenter and Analytics - How to deal?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi all,

I am a bit late to the GDPR thingy, I have a rough idea of what needs to be done, but was hoping someone could answer a few questions, or supply me with some links.  I know there have been discussions on here about GDPR but I can’t find exactly what I need.  I’ve been doing a lot of googling and acan’tcant find what I want.

The plugins I use that will/might me impacted are;

  1. Appodeal - this one I understand as there has been a lot of blogs etc about what I need to do.
  2. Google Play Game Services and GameCenter - I cant find anything about these.  I could make it so if the player declines then these are just not included, is there a better option.
  3. Facebook Analytics - Same as above.  I could change to another analytics platform if anyone has any advice around this.

I understand that I would need to have these selectable at an individual level and that by default they should be set to off.  I was wondering if anyone would actually bother turning them on?  Does anyone have any screenshots of how they are dealing with multiple plugins?

Cheers,

Thanks.

I can help a little with Appodeal.

For games running in the EU:

  1. Make some kind of dialog interaction asking the user for permission to collect GDPR restricted data.

  2. Based on the response set the ‘hasUserConsent’ init value accordingly.

https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/appodeal/init.html#hasuserconsent-optional

OR simply set it to false all the time.

Before you ask, I don’t currently have an suggestions on the title and body of the dialog message.

Also, I don’t have the “I’m in the EU” detection code right off the top of my head.  Sorry.

PS - Looks like I offered help on the one you have figured out.  Doh!
