In addition to this, Mobvista has paid significant attention to heightened data security and privacy practices.

In August 2021, Mobvista also passed the SOC2 Type 2 audit performed by KPMG, the world’s most authoritative and professional report on data security and privacy.

The first half of 2021 also saw Apple officially release iOS 14.5. Internal data shows 46.5% of iOS system devices unable to track IDFA, an increase of 18.18% of devices that could not track prior to its release. Mobvista and in particular, Mintegral, was largely unaffected by IDFA deprecation thanks to algorithms unreliant on IDFA-dependent long-term user interest portraits. Instead, Mobvista focuses on the estimation and modeling of users’ instantaneous interests obtained based on contextual information and adds dynamic creative optimization (DCO) factors to the algorithm.
