Privacy-compliant applications
under review

By default, applications developed with GoodBarber have many tracker libraries installed which poses a privacy problem.
I think that we should be able to remove libraries we don't need. For example, for me, Countly, Flurry, Facebook and Google AdMob are completely useless and being installed reduces the trust of privacy conscious users.
On the other hand, if we want to, I think we should also be able to remove geolocation.
Thank you.

What strikes me most after almost a year and a half is not the lack of a solution from Goodbarber but the near absence of pressure from users. It seems that privacy is the last priority for us app developers.

I've been waiting more than 6 month to start two apps I need to make and I can't do it while GoodBarber doesn't allow us to remove Facebook and other privacy nightmare sdk. This is really terrible for EU laws...

Christophe Spinetti any news on this? Is there any ETA? I can't start a new educational app for children I need because it couldn't be considered child safe in EU because GoodBarbar has facebook and other big data harvesters sdk's by default :(

This is every day now! Please GoodBarber, allow us to remove Google, Facebook, SDK, please! Otherwise we can't use our apps in Europe!

Facebook owner Meta fined €1.2bn for mishandling user information. And we still have no way to remove Facebook libraries from our apps...

I wonder how this is not a top priority for Good Barber users if by law we have to comply with the GDPR! Ummm...

Google Font is also a tracker and not privacy-friendly. Here in Germany, it is even liable to legal action. Therefore, a data protection-compliant implementation with BEAUTIFUL fonts should be offered. Or a separate upload option.

Michael Wirkner: No doubt about it. All over the European Union, not only Germany. I think that GoodBarber should allow users to clean up as much as possible anything that might track users and goes against the RGPD.

Michael Wirkner: The update of one of my apps was just refused by App Store because of Guideline 5.1.2 - Legal - Privacy - Data Use and Sharing. Now I've to implement App Tracking Transparency and say I collect users data - I DON'T - and loose people's confidence because GoodBarber just doesn't think this is a priority...

Ieps... removed geolocation but the libraries are all still there.
As you might have read yesterday, Meta was fined another 390 million euros for not complying with GDPR... I wish I could get rid from everything related to Meta (libraries) because I care about users privacy.
Another thing I noticed is that Play Store assumes all Good Barber apps have ads (sdk ready)...

Hi, You can remove geolocation if you don't want to have geolocation options. You can do this through your backend in "settings" > "compilation settings".

Christophe Spinetti: Thank's, already removed geolocation and sent to the Play Store the new version. But we still have the other libraries (Facebook, Flurry, Countly...)
Christophe Spinetti
CCSA: Hi. The team is looking into it but no ETA at the moment.
