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.
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.

A critical bug related to working of Decline button in the Preference Center is now fixed
Today, we have introduced performance improvements to Templates and Designs pages.
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.
This targeted loading strategy dramatically improves performance for our Enterprise customers with hundreds or thousands of templates, resulting in faster response times and a smoother workflow.
We've implemented performance optimisations for the Domains page, leading to an 66% improvement in loading speed.
Introducing Enhanced Privacy Policy Generation
Our Privacy Policy generator now leverages data from your Scan Report to accurately identify and include information about the cookies and services used on your website. This ensures your Privacy Policy remains up-to-date and compliant with the latest regulations.
Introducing a refreshed Consents Report
We've enhanced the visual appeal and usability of the Consents Report for a more intuitive user experience.
Find the updated Consents Report under Domain Settings -> Consents.
Rescan Consistency: Improved the user experience during the rescan process. The "Scan Report" and "Tracking Sources" sections now display a consistent "loading" state while the scan is in progress.
Enhanced Cookie Banner: Implemented <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> in the cookie banner for improved SEO.
Category Opt-out Functionality:
We have enhanced category opt-out functionality in the Preference Center.
Checkbox label now accurately reflects the opt-out action ("Click here to opt-out of all {} services").
Clicking the category opt-out checkbox now correctly disables all associated service checkboxes.
Consent preferences are now correctly stored after opting out of a category.
Bug Fixes
Corrected Billing Instruction: Fixed incorrect billing instruction banner for Free accounts on the domain settings screen.
Disabled Select Button: Disabled the "Select" button in the domain selection dropdown when only one domain exists.
Security Patch: Fixed a vulnerability related to Session Management
Enabled self-service account reinstatement for frozen accounts.
The updated Account Deletion Policy for the Free Plan now applies to accounts created over 60 days ago with no consent recorded within the last month.
These accounts will be subject to deletion if either the first script is not installed or if the first script is installed but there has been no activity on the Secure Privacy platform within the last 60 days.
Revamped some logic related to frozen accounts and fixed the bugs that we found along the way
Memory Leak Investigation
Investigated the root cause of high memory usage.
Determined that the issue was not related to cache size.
Identified potential memory leak: Observed increasing memory usage after deployments, culminating in 80% memory utilization and subsequent disk swapping.
Banner Customizations, anyone?
We have worked on adding a couple of more abilities to our already awesome Cookie Banners. Refer the our linked support articles to know how to use Custom CSS and Custom Fonts
Other Enhancements
The GCM Advanced section now only displays after GCM Advanced Framework is enabled.
Removed restriction for scanning when adding a new domain
Previously, scanning was not automatically triggered upon adding a new domain.
This enhancement streamlines the onboarding process and provides users with immediate insights into their website's privacy compliance.
We're excited to announce several improvements to the Policies module, designed to streamline your workflow and enhance overall usability.
Intelligent Title Suggestions
The Policies Module now automatically suggests policy titles based on the type of policy you're creating. This feature saves time and ensures consistency in naming conventions across your organization.
Redesigned Add Policy Button
We've given the Add Policy button a fresh new look. The updated appearance makes it more intuitive and easier to spot when you're ready to create a new policy.
Streamlined Policy Settings
The Link or Generate option has been relocated to the Policy Settings section. This re-organization simplifies the policy creation process and groups related functions together for a more logical user experience.
Additional Improvements
Our development team has also addressed several UI bugs, resulting in a smoother and more reliable user experience. These fixes contribute to the overall stability and performance of the platform.
