Automatic data collection
By default, the Batch SDK will automatically collect some data related to the user's device:
| Native data | Description | Default collection status |
|---|---|---|
| Device Model | The user's device model information | false |
| Device Brand | The user's device brand information | false |
| Installation ID | The installation identifier | true |
| Session ID | The user's session identifier | true |
| Custom User ID | The user's custom identifier | true |
| API Level | The Batch SDK api level | true |
| Messaging API Level | The Batch SDK Messaging api level | true |
| Device Language | The user's device language | true |
| Device Region | The user's device region | true |
| Device Timezone | The user's device timezone | true |
| OS Version | The Android version | true |
| App Version (String) | The application version (string) | true |
| App Version (Build Number) | The application version (number) | true |
| Bundle Name | The application package name | true |
| Device Date | The current device date | true |
| First Installation Date | The date at which the app was last updated. | true |
| Last Installation Date | The date at which the app was first installed | true |
| Device Installation Date | The Batch installation date | true |
| SDK Level | The Android API level | true |
| Bridge Version | Version of the batch bridge (for cross-plateform plugin only) | true |
| Plugin Version | Version of the batch plugin (for cross-plateform plugin only) | true |
| GeoIP | Whether Batch should resolve the user's location from ip address | false |
Some of this data are disabled by default and can be toggled on/off according to the user consent:
- Device model
- Device brand
- GeoIP
Use the following API to fine-tune what you want to enable:
- Kotlin
- Java
Batch.updateAutomaticDataCollection {
it.apply {
setGeoIPEnabled(true) // Enable GeoIP resolution on server side
setDeviceBrandEnabled(true) // Enable automatic collection of the device brand information
setDeviceModelEnabled(true) // Enable automatic collection of the device model information
}
}Note: This API can be used at any time in your application lifecycle and Batch will remember these values, even if your Application reboots.
