New Unity Mediation SDK update
SDK version 0.3.0 of Unity Mediation offers Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) support for serving contextual ads to users in China. This law protects the collection and processing of personal data of Chinese citizens.
Currently, if your app is set up to use bidding, the Unity Mediation SDK only ingests PIPL opt-in consents for bidding sources and may collect and process personal data from users if the required consent signals are passed into the SDK.
See the Unity package, Android, and iOS API references for details, as well as the Unity Mediation Privacy Guidelines for more information on PIPL support.
