Viber extreme long list of trusted partners

4 points by meow112012 5y ago ↗ HN

Viber Mobile has so weird UI.

Go to Settings --> Privacy --> Personal data --> Manage ad preferences.

There are so many checkboxs there (all are on by default), and there is a _very very long_list of trusted partners (and use of data). It took me more than 30 minutes to uncheck all of them.

There isn't any "unselect" all.

I have to use Viber for some communication purpose. And this is so painful. I'm writing here just in case... Please note I'm using some Europian number for my Viber.

Mine are all unchecked by default, maybe you've recently created an account?

It's the TCF 2.0 framework by IAB Europe. It's indeed very questionable whether it's compliant with GDPR and the first authorities have deemed it unlawful (notably the Belgian DPA), so I'm hoping it will die in a year or two.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I will keep my eyes on that.

I don't even have that as an option. I only have:

- Collect Analytics

- Allow Content Personalization

- Allow Interest-based Ads

- Allow Accurate Location-Based Services

- Request your data

- Delete your data

Maybe they don't allow you to use that option? I'm using European number, so it's some strict requirement.
