In today’s world, where data privacy is more important than ever, users expect apps that are both reliable and transparent. At GoodBarber, we’ve embraced this challenge with the launch of our new Privacy Center—a dedicated hub where you can manage your app’s permissions, libraries, and privacy policies, all in one place.

What is the Privacy Center?

The Privacy Center is the ultimate tool for centralizing everything related to privacy and permissions in your app. It gives you a clear overview and complete control over what your app requests, uses, and displays—all with just a few clicks.
A streamlined hub, divided into 4 key sections:
  1. Permissions
    Manage app permissions based on your features and customize the messages users see when access is requested.
  2. Consent
    Handle cookie management with ease and stay compliant with data regulations (hello, GDPR 👋).
  3. Contact
    Provide clear contact information so users know where to turn with privacy-related questions.
  4. Policies
    Centralize your terms of service and privacy policies, keeping your users informed and confident.

 

More than just a dashboard

The Privacy Center isn’t just a static tool—it’s designed to give you precise control over which permissions are activated or disabled based on your app’s needs.
And here’s the game-changer: when required permissions are missing, GoodBarber automatically adjusts with alternative solutions to ensure your app continues to deliver a seamless user experience.
Real-world examples:
  • QR Codes: If camera access isn’t available, an image uploader is offered as an alternative.
  • Maps: No geolocation? Your app still works, but distances and user positions aren’t displayed.
  • Forms: When gallery or camera access is disabled, the corresponding fields are either grayed out or removed.
You’ll also see clear warnings in your back office to help you address any missing permissions quickly and efficiently.

Why your app needs the privacy center

The Privacy Center isn’t just a feature—it’s a leap forward in creating apps that users trust and love.

Your Meta real estate catalog now shows up in your agency's app

The short version. Meta catalog, map and Meta catalog, listings are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read an agency's "Home listings" catalog, the XML feed it gives Meta for its real estate ads. Meta catalog, map fills a Map section: each property with a known position becomes a pin with its own page, sorted by distance when the app knows where the user is. Meta catalog, listings fills an Article section with the same properties, newest first. You connect them with the link to your catalog feed. Both are free for Content apps.Agencies build this catalog to reach buyers and tenants where they spend their time. Meta's apps were used by 3.60 billion people a day on average in June 2026, up 3% in a year, according to Meta's second quarter 2026 results published on July 29, 2026. Here is how the two extensions play out for an agency in Hamburg.

Givebutter Campaigns fills an Article section with active forms and fundraising pages, with their cover image and description. You connect them with a Givebutter API key. Both are free for Content apps: each section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan.A lot of giving already goes through Givebutter.
