Identity Management
How user identification and anonymous tracking work in the Mite SDK.
When mite.init() runs, the SDK generates an anonymous user ID automatically and syncs it to the identify endpoint in the background.
If you provide identityStorage, that anonymous ID survives app restarts so the same installed app instance keeps the same anonymous identity.
Identifying Users
Link a real user to their anonymous session:
await mite.identify({
user_identifier: 'user_123',
email: 'user@example.com',
})The SDK includes the anonymous_id so the backend can link the anonymous user to the known user.
Logging Out
Clear the identified user but keep the anonymous ID:
await mite.logout()Privacy Opt-Out
Switch the SDK into anonymous-only mode. In this mode Mite still sends anonymous_id, but stops sending user_identifier, email/name fields, metadata, and default device_info.
await mite.setIdentificationOptOut(true)To re-enable identification:
await mite.setIdentificationOptOut(false)
