iOS Data Collection Disclosure

With the iOS 14 release, Apple introduced a new data collection policy. This page describes how Apple's iOS 14 data use policy applies to AppDynamics.

Data Collection with Screenshots

When you use the Mobile Screenshots feature, the iOS Agent captures an image of the your user’s screen and may send a copy of the image to the AppDynamics server for the Controller to visualize app usage. These screenshots may capture anything your application displays, including any user data your user submits. It is your responsibility to review the data captured in the screenshots and determine where such captured data falls in Apple's categorization of types of disclosable data. See Data Collection Details.

Disable Mobile Screenshots

You can use blockScreenshots() to temporarily disable screenshots for any screen which may display such data. See Customize the iOS Instrumentation.

Data Collection Details

AppDynamics does not enable any targeted advertisements, data broker, or data combination as described in the Apple iOS 14 User Privacy and Data Use Policy. In addition, ID for Vendors (IDFV) as defined under such guidelines is not currently used in any AppDynamics Mobile features.
