    Google Play Data Safety Requirements

    Since 2022, every Android app must complete the Data Safety section in Play Console. This form must align perfectly with your privacy policy -- Google's automated tools cross-check for inconsistencies.

    Android Permissions & Privacy

    Android's dangerous permissions require runtime requests since Marshmallow (6.0). Each permission must be justified in your privacy policy with feature context, data usage, and user control details.

    Runtime Permission Flows

    Policy must explain when and why each permission is requested, what happens if denied, and how to revoke via Settings.

    Background Data Access

    Background location (Android 10+) requires separate Play Store approval with strong justification. Background data restrictions since Android 9.

    Scoped Storage (Android 11+)

    New storage access model requires disclosure of file access scope: app-specific vs. shared storage, media access permissions.

    Google Play Policy Compliance

    Google Play has specific policies beyond Data Safety that your privacy policy must address. Non-compliance leads to app suspension or developer account termination.

    Firebase & Google Services

    Every Firebase module (Analytics, Crashlytics, Auth, FCM, Remote Config) collects different data. Must disclose each module, data shared with Google, and link to Google's privacy policy.

    GAID (Advertising ID)

    Google Advertising ID usage must be disclosed for ad targeting, attribution, and analytics. Include user opt-out instructions via Settings > Google > Ads.

    Background Location

    ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION requires Play Store approval and in-app disclosure. Must justify core functionality need, explain battery impact, and provide alternatives.

    Data Encryption

    Data Safety form asks about encryption in transit and at rest. Privacy policy must confirm TLS/SSL implementation and storage encryption practices.

    User Data Deletion

    Google requires apps to provide data deletion mechanisms. Privacy policy must explain how users request deletion and timeline for processing.

    SDK Transparency

    Google scans APK/AAB binaries for SDKs. Every detected SDK must be disclosed in your privacy policy. Undisclosed SDKs trigger automated rejection flags.
