Common Mistakes

  • 1 Showing the browser push notification prompt immediately on page load without context, leading to denials
  • 2 Loading the OneSignal SDK before consent, which may collect analytics data before the user subscribes
  • 3 Not providing a clear unsubscribe mechanism within the notification experience

Compliance Considerations

Collects push notification tokens, device identifiers, and engagement data. Push notification subscription requires explicit user opt-in via the browser/OS prompt. The OneSignal SDK itself may collect analytics data about notification delivery and engagement. Ensure marketing consent covers both the push subscription and associated analytics.
