Recent updates to the Google Publisher
Policies
have 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:
Kotlin
protectedfunpresentConsentOverlay(context:Context){AlertDialog.Builder(context).setTitle("Location data").setMessage("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.").setNeutralButton("OK"){dialog,which->dialog.cancel()// TODO: replace the below log statement with code that specifies how// you want to handle the user's acknowledgement.Log.d("MyApp","Got consent.")}.show()}// To use the above function:presentConsentOverlay(this)
Java
protectedvoidpresentConsentOverlay(Contextcontext){newAlertDialog.Builder(context).setTitle("Location data").setMessage("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.").setNeutralButton("OK",newDialogInterface.OnClickListener(){@OverridepublicvoidonClick(DialogInterfacedialog,intwhich){dialog.cancel();// TODO: replace the below log statement with code that specifies how// you want to handle the user's acknowledgement.Log.d("MyApp","Got consent.");}}).show();}// To use the above method:presentConsentOverlay(this);
