According to the statement made by the large technology company, “The Privacy Sandbox Beta delivers new application programming interfaces (APIs) that are developed with privacy at the core, and don’t employ identifiers that can trace your activities across apps and websites.”

Beta participants’ apps will be able to make use of the APIs to display appropriate advertisements to users and evaluate the effectiveness of those advertisements.

In addition, users will have the ability to manage their Beta participation by navigating to the Privacy Sandbox section of the Settings menu. Here, they will be able to view and modify the interests that applications can use to display advertisements that are relevant to them.

“Our objective with the Privacy Sandbox is to improve users’ privacy while simultaneously giving businesses the tools they need to thrive online. The company stated that blunt techniques that do not present viable alternatives are harmful to app developers and do not function to protect user privacy, leading to less private methods of tracking users such as device fingerprinting.

In addition, it stated that “we will continue to work closely with developers, marketers, and regulators” during this process.
