Anonymous mode is related to profile data handling and its integration with Firebase.There might be situations, sometimes driven by regulatory requirements, where you prefer not to implement a sign-up option or store user data in Firebase/WordPress. Yet, you still wish to utilize Fans United for fostering engagement and lead generation. This is where Anonymous mode comes in. It leverages Firebase's Anonymous Login feature, ensuring users have access to all the benefits of Fans United without the typical account creation process.Here's a breakdown of the differences compared to the standard behavior:
- Upon their first visit, users initiate a new session tied to a Firebase anonymous user. The anonymous JWTs are used to authenticate against Fans United APIs.
- Profile and authentication pages are not accessible.
- For features like Top X and Match Quiz, users need to provide an email address before submitting predictions. This is so they can be contacted in the event they win. Ensure you've secured permission from users to reach out to them—ideally, this would be articulated in the terms and conditions or game rules.
- Within the WP admin, there's a dedicated page that lets clients view game rankings and associated email addresses.
- Tabs for game rankings and winners are hidden.
