| DEVELOPER UPDATE
|
| Hello Google Play Developer, |
| The new Data safety section is launched on Google Play!
|
| This new feature in your app store listing helps you showcase your privacy and security practices and explain how your app collects, shares, and protects user data. Over the next few weeks, everyone will be able to see this section in Google Play. If you haven’t already, we recommend that you submit your form soon because users will see “No information available” in your app’s Data safety section until your form is completed. |
| If you don’t yet have a completed form, we have more information to share below. |
| Your Data safety form must be submitted and approved for publication on Google Play by July 20, otherwise your app updates will be rejected. You must also include a privacy policy. Non-compliant apps may face additional enforcement actions in the future, such as the removal of your app's store listing from Google Play. |
| Action required: |
- Make any required changes to your app, including addressing any known compliance issues.
- Complete your Data safety form. You can find this form at App Content in your Google Play Console.
- Submit for review. You do not need to include an app update for this submission.
|
| Top tips for filling out your form: |
- Review the Help Center for more details, including list of data types, data purposes, and latest FAQs from developers. We’ve also included a change log at the bottom.
- All apps must have a privacy policy. Learn more
- You can use a CSV file to work on your Data safety form offline, and import your responses, including for multiple apps.
- Review how any third-party code (such as third-party libraries or SDKs) in your app collects and shares user data.
