At A Glance: This article will guide you through the process of filling out the "Data Safety" form on Google Play when pushing any SDK-related update for your application.
Submitting Data Safety Form on Google Play
Why Is This Required?
When you release an SDK-related update on the Google Play Store, Google mandates that you complete the Data Safety form to maintain transparency about user data collection. Since Apptrove SDK captures Google Advertising ID (GAID) for attribution purposes, it is essential to declare this data collection in the form.
Failure to comply may lead to app suspension or restricted visibility on the Play Store.
How to fill out the form?
Go to the "App content" section of Google Play Console under the "Policy" section.
Fill out the below details as explained and shown in the picture
a. Data collected section
b. Under "Data types", fill App activity and Device or other IDs
c. For app activity tick mark the "Other actions"
d. In Device or other IDs explicitly tick mark the check box as shown below
Answer Data Sharing Questions:
If your app shares collected data with third-party partners, confirm this under the Data Handling section.
Provide accurate and clear responses to ensure transparency.
