Recent updates to theGoogle Publisher
Policieshave introduced new notice and consent requirements for publishers who pass
precise location data of users to Google, for ads-related purposes.
If this policy applies to you, the following snippet shows one way you could
inform your users of this data sharing:
Swift
funcpresentConsentOverlayFromViewController(_rootViewController:UIViewController){if(rootViewController==nil){return;}DispatchQueue.main.async{letalert=UIAlertController(title:"Location data",message:"""We may use your location, and share it with third parties,for the purposes of personalized advertising, analytics,and attribution.To learn more, visit our privacy policy at https://myapp.com/privacy.""",preferredStyle:.alert)letalertAction=UIAlertAction(title:"OK",style:.default,handler:{_in// TODO: replace the below log statement with code that specifies how// you want to handle the user's acknowledgement.print("Got consent.")})alert.addAction(alertAction)rootViewController.present(alert,animated:true,completion:nil)}}// To use the above function assuming you are in a view controller:presentConsentOverlayFromViewController(self)
Objective-C
-(void)presentConsentOverlayFromViewController:(UIViewController*)rootViewController{if(rootViewController==nil){return;}dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),^{UIAlertController*alert=[UIAlertControlleralertControllerWithTitle:@"Location data"message:@"We may use your location, and share it with third parties,"@"for the purposes of personalized advertising, analytics, and attribution."@"To learn more, visit our privacy policy at https://myapp.com/privacy."preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];UIAlertAction*ok=[UIAlertActionactionWithTitle:@"OK"style:UIAlertActionStyleDefaulthandler:^(UIAlertAction*action){[alertdismissViewControllerAnimated:YEScompletion:^{// TODO: replace the below log statement with code that specifies// how you want to handle the user's acknowledgement.NSLog(@"Got consent.");}];}];[alertaddAction:ok];[rootViewControllerpresentViewController:alertanimated:YEScompletion:nil];});}// To use the previous function assuming you are in a view controller:[selfpresentConsentOverlayFromViewController:self];
