# DeviceConnect: Integration Flow

Follow the steps below to securely collect device intelligence and access real-time insights via FinBox.

DeviceConnect SDK Integration Summary:

1. User Permissions & Consent:

  • Ask for user permissions to enable anonymized device data collection.
  • Make sure your app complies with relevant privacy and regulatory requirements.
  • Clearly show the purpose of data collection to build user trust.

2. SDK Initialization & User Creation:

  • Initialize the SDK early in your app’s lifecycle
  • Assign a unique, custom-generated user hash — no PII should be used or stored
  • Start periodic syncing to ensure data is sent to FinBox servers

3. Intelligent Data Synchronization:

  • Once periodic syncing is enabled, anonymized device data is automatically sent to FinBox every 8 hours

Advanced Features

Fraud Detection – Detect risky behavior using device-level signals in near real time.

On-Demand Sync – Trigger data syncs manually to fetch the latest behavioral signals, even if the app is inactive

4. Real-Time Decisioning via Insights API:

  • Use the Insights API to access processed data and actionable insights.

  • Integrate it into your credit decisioning or risk models to support:

    • Credit underwriting
    • Fraud risk checks
    • Customer segmentation & personalization
