Secure Privacy Changelog

Announcing full support for Microsoft Clarity to help you optimize user behavior tracking without compromising privacy.

With this update, you can now:

• Automatically block or allow Clarity cookies based on consent
• Dynamically trigger window.clarity("stop") or window.clarity("consent")
• Comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations effortlessly

For more details, please check out the support article.

We've rolled out an important update to our web platform, bringing enhanced functionality and tighter alignment with our Mobile App SDKs.

These improvements will help you manage compliance for your mobile applications directly from your Secure Privacy dashboard.

Direct Legal Template Assignment for Mobile Apps:

You can now assign legal templates (e.g., Privacy Policies, Cookie Policies) directly to your mobile applications via the dedicated mobile app screen within the web platform. This simplifies the process of ensuring your app's legal documentation is always up-to-date.

Policy Assignment for Mobile Apps 

Similar to templates, policies can now be directly associated with your mobile applications through the mobile app screen, providing a unified management experience for your app's compliance settings.

Bug Fixes & Styling Improvements

We've implemented various bug fixes and styling enhancements across the platform to ensure a smoother, more reliable, and visually consistent user experience.

We're excited to announce a feature that will help you maintain compliance with global data protection laws while optimizing your advertising efforts on the Microsoft Advertising Platform (MAP).

Introducing: Microsoft UET Consent Mode Integration

Secure Privacy now offers support for Microsoft UET Consent Mode, working hand-in-hand with Universal Event Tracking (UET). This integration is designed to help you:

• Respect User Privacy: Dynamically adjust data collection based on user consent, aligning with laws like GDPR.
• Maintain Ad Performance Insights: Even when users don't fully consent, you can still gather valuable anonymized data for better understanding of your ad campaigns.
• Streamline Compliance: Automatically manage ad_storage values based on user consent and geographical location, ensuring your MAP activities are compliant.

How it works:

Our platform smartly sets the ad_storage value for UET on each page load before consent is captured. For regions where GDPR is mandated (e.g., in the EU), it defaults to denied. For other regions (e.g., most US states), it defaults to granted. Once a user interacts with your consent banner, their preferences will be communicated to UET.

Getting Started:

Enabling Microsoft UET Consent Mode is quick and easy:

1. Log in to your Secure Privacy dashboard.
2. Go to Domain Settings.
3. Click on the Advanced tab.
4. Enable the Microsoft Consent Mode toggle.

For a detailed walkthrough on setting up this feature, please refer to our support article.

With our latest Android SDK v0.2.9-beta release, we have rolled out updates to give you more control and clarity in managing user consent:

Flexible Consent Options

• Added full support for both explicit and implicit consent types, giving you greater flexibility in how you capture user permissions based on your legal requirements and user experience goals.

Smarter Category Mapping

• Significantly improving category mapping, we have ensured our SDK's behavior perfectly aligns with your backend and web configurations.
• This resolves previous issues, including the Customer Interaction category being visible, so your consent settings are consistently applied everywhere.

Streamlined Opt-Out Experience

• For those using opt-out templates, the Preference Center now intelligently auto-enables relevant categories, simplifying the setup and ensuring a smoother user experience while maintaining compliance.

We're excited to introduce a new feature that makes Secure Privacy truly "your own": the ability to display your logo directly within the Preference Center!

This enhancement enables you to create a more consistent and branded privacy experience for your users.

By default, this feature is turned off.

You can enable it anytime under Designs -> Preference Center whenever you're ready!

We have significantly optimized our API to deliver a faster and more efficient experience, especially for users managing large numbers of templates and designs.

• We are now loading only the essential headers initially, and then the full template only when needed.

We've implemented performance optimisations for the Domains page, leading to an 66% improvement in loading speed.
