App Privacy Details Reference
App Privacy Details
Learn about what information is collected by DM SDK and how it should be disclosed to app users.
Overview
Apple requires developers to provide information on how their applications collect data as part of their privacy compliance guidelines for apps. These guidelines require app developers to disclose to app users how data is collected through use of the app. This includes data collected by third-party SDKs integrated in apps. Digimarc, as a third-party SDK provider, is providing the following summary of data collected by the Digimarc SDK integrated in your app to support your disclosures to your app’s users.
Digimarc collects this information when our SDK is actively used in an application to recognize content. Interacting with some classes that are not related to detection, like DMSPayload/Payload, doesn’t initiate this collection. Additionally, use of the DMSResolver/Resolver class to fetch relevant content for a watermark or barcode scan implicitly transmits data to our servers to fulfill the request and may incur additional data collection.
Contact Digimarc with any questions regarding data collection in DM SDK.
Data Collected for Analytics and License Compliance
The following data is collected periodically for performance monitoring and analysis.
| What We Collect | Description |
|---|---|
| Installation ID | Unique identifier of an app installed on a device. |
| Device Manufacturer | Manufacturer of the device using the app, integrating the Digimarc SDK (for example, Apple). |
| Device Model | Model of the device using the app integrating the Digimarc SDK (for example, iPhone XS). |
| Application Version | Version of the app integrating the Digimarc SDK (for example, 7.4.1). |
| Application Name | The friendly name of the app using the Digimarc SDK (for example, Digimarc Discover). |
| Application ID | Name of the app using the Digimarc SDK (for example, com.digimarc.mobile.DigimarcDiscover). |
| Operating System | Operating system of the device using the app integrating the Digimarc SDK (for example, iOS). |
| Operating System Version | Version of the operating system of the device using the app integrating the Digimarc SDK (for example, iOS 14.1). |
| DMSDK Version | Version of the Digimarc SDK installed on the app (for example, 3.1.3). |
| Developer Resolver Credentials | Developer account username tied to Digimarc’s cloud services. |
Data Collected by the Resolver
Our Resolver cloud service is a database that can take detected Digimarc digital watermarks (audio and print) and 1D barcodes, and provide more information based on what was detected. Interacting with the Resolver implicitly supplies Digimarc with the content the user interacted with. This is reflected by “Payload ID”, which contains the code or identifier the user detected.
| What We Collect | Description |
|---|---|
| Payload ID | Payload of Digimarc digital watermark or 1D barcode read by the app integrating the Digimarc SDK (for example, 12345678901234). |
| IP Address | IP address of the device that’s using the app integrating the Digimarc SDK (for example, 192.168.100.1). |
Interacting with the Resolver cloud service is optional but can happen in several ways:
- Use of the
DMSResolver(Obj-C)/Resolver(Swift) class, specifically the resolve function. - Use of the
DMSDetectorViewController(Obj-C)/DMSDetectorViewController(Swift) class when:- The
detectorViewController:resolvedContent:forPayload(Obj-C)/detectorViewController(_:resolvedContent:for:)(Swift) delegate function has been implemented. detectorViewController:shouldResolvePayloadsForResult(Obj-C)/detectorViewController(_:shouldResolvePayloadsFor:result:)(Swift) delegate function is either unimplemented or returns true.
- The
