On the heels of Apple’s announcement around IDFA at WWDC, the entire industry is pondering if it's possible to give users control over their data and still provide developers with the transparency they need to build and market viable businesses. The diverse app ecosystem has been built upon trust – from the users who engage with content and who expect that their privacy is being respected to the publishers and advertisers who create and ultimately pay for the free app content. Mar Brandt, Senior Vice President at AppsFlyer, breaks down how Apple’s privacy innovations attached to the roll out of iOS 14 could change attribution, the essential data infrastructure that powers the entire app economy.
