Disable data export

Preventing data export when the Embrace SDK is already initialized

If a user opts out of data collection and the Embrace SDK is already initialized you can stop data export with disable():

Kotlin

Embrace.getInstance().disable()

Java

Embrace.getInstance().disable();

This prevents the SDK from sending data to Embrace's servers or any configured OTel exporters. It will also delete any persisted data that Embrace has captured.

Preventing data export when the Embrace SDK is not yet initialized

Once a user opts out of data collection you should save this preference in a solution that makes sense for your app, such as DataStore. When you initialize the Embrace SDK you should only initialize if this stored preference allows data capture.

Kotlin

if (embraceEnabled) { // boolean value read from your storage solution
    Embrace.getInstance().start(this)
}

Java

if (embraceEnabled) { // boolean value read from your storage solution
    Embrace.getInstance().start(this);
}
