Apple just announced that IDFA is now going to be opt-in as of iOS14 – what impact will it have on activating segments to app based destinations?

Hi,

 

I have few questions regarding Adobe's point of view on Apple's recent announcement on IDFA:

 

1) What impact will it have if mobile based segments are mapped to destinations that receive IDFAs? Will AAM gets restricted for performing device ID sync if a user does not allow tracking in app? 

2) Will impact the customer ID sync? If the customer has 2 mobile devices and the app in both the devices is opted-out for tracking? Can we still stitch those 2 devices of a user under one profile with customer ID sync and Profile Merge rules?

 

Thanks,

Varun Kalra

Hi Varun,

Looking at how the ATT works and what AAM can be used for, you would only need to restrict the collection of IDFA if the user opts-out.

you collect that with "setAdvertisingIdentifier" in the AEP SDK.

 

There is a bit more from Adobe in the AEP SDK guide on Adobe Experience Cloud & Apple’s IDFA, Privacy Announcements

Hey Varun, I have the same question and I was wondering if you were able to find anything on this topic?

Related to your question: Do you also read the guidelines from Apple, so actually you need and iOS specific opt-in to even track using audience manager, if you're sharing with 3rd parties (DSP's)

Adobe's announcement says that they are 'currently working on making product updates to historically de-link IDFA in Adobe Audience Manager' - does that mean that IDFA will no longer be used anywhere in AAM? If so, do we know when that will happen?
