    Hey HN — I built Respectlytics because I was frustrated that every mobile analytics SDK quietly collects device IDs, ad identifiers, and IP addresses, then makes you retroactively figure out compliance. There are some solutions out there claiming that they are compliant with certain privacy regulations but when I dig into it, I observe that they actually are not that compliant as they claim to be. I believe Respectlytics is one of the most (if not the most) privacy focused mobile analytics solutions out there but compliance is a huge topic and I leave the decision to the legal…

    I have created a simple CLI tool to help me go through the codebase of my iOS apps and detect those 'required reason' APIs and SDKs that Apple now requires developers to disclose on a separate manifest file. I have also added the option to generate a simple Privacy Manifest file based on the findings and on the responses that the developer will give. Even though it's a bit too niche for HN, there maybe iOS devs here that might find this tool useful!

    Hello Hacker News! I’m Tomasz, creator of Privacy Thing, a browser extension for Firefox and Chromium-based browsers. I’ve just released its Preview version. Privacy Thing aims to reduce browser fingerprinting—the tracking of users without cookies. It began as an internal project: a simple location simulator. Over time, I expanded it to cover more fingerprinting surfaces. It now has 13 protection categories affecting 50+ browser APIs and methods: Geolocation, time and locale settings, Canvas, WebGL, Audio, Navigator, Screen, Client Hints, Battery, WebRTC, Dedicated Workers, Service Workers,…
