Crowd Anonymity (Privacy Threshold)
Apple's tiered privacy rule that reduces the detail in SKAdNetwork postbacks when a campaign drives too few installs to protect user anonymity.
By Brandon Mina·CEO, BrandPilot AI·Updated November 2026
Short answer
Crowd anonymity, or the privacy threshold, is Apple's tiered rule that reduces the detail in SKAdNetwork postbacks when a campaign drives too few installs. Lower install volumes yield less data, such as a coarse conversion value or a shortened source identifier. The rule prevents individual users from being identified through small campaigns.
