Updating privacy disclosures after SDK changes

Signing, migrations, supply-chain integrity and store delivery.

Build and distribution1 min readEditorial methods

Security SDK updates can introduce different data or API use. Review store privacy disclosures alongside compatibility.

Evaluation approach

Compare release notes, permissions, manifests and observed traffic with the features enabled in your app.

Application example

A new telemetry field requires review of purpose, retention and store statements.

Limits and considerations

Supplier documentation does not remove the developer's own disclosure responsibilities.

Are release notes enough?

They are a starting point. Verify enabled features and actual transfers, since changed defaults can alter collection. Disclosures must match final configuration.

Checks and decisions

  • Compare data flows
  • Inspect manifests
  • Update disclosures
