Google Play Data Safety

Google Play’s Data safety section is the store-facing summary of what your app collects, shares, and how users can request deletion. It must align with your in-app behavior and the privacy policy URL listed in Play Console.

Inaccurate or incomplete disclosures can trigger policy strikes, removal from certain regions, or ad/Play Pass eligibility issues.

What to disclose

• Personal and device identifiers, location, financial info, photos, contacts, and diagnostics if collected.
• Whether data is shared with third parties (analytics, ads, crash reporting, payment processors).
• Security practices such as encryption in transit and whether users can request deletion.

Align with your privacy policy URL

Play Console requires a privacy policy URL. Use a hosted link you control so you can update the policy when your SDK stack changes without changing the URL in the listing.

Review the Data safety form after every release that touches permissions, SDKs, or backend storage.
