The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect on May 25, 2018, across the European Union. These new regulations create a framework to protect personal data about individuals in the EU and must be adhered to by all businesses who collect or process such data. Failure to comply with GDPR can result in strict penalties for non-compliant companies.
As a trusted partner of leading brands across the globe, InMobi is committed to data protection and protecting consumer privacy while creating a safe and transparent marketplace for advertisers and generating value for our publisher partners.
If not already on the current InMobi SDK version (SDK 710 for Android, SDK 711 for iOS) or above, upgrade to the latest version here: SDK. For Mobile Web <link it with the mobile web> inventory, the same applies.

If the app was already marked for COPPA, we will automatically flag the app as compliant - < 13 years for the US and < 16 years for the EU. This is valid:
