For a safe store.
The introduction of a new safety section in the Play Store that Google announced next year by Google this spring.And on July 27, the details of the information that the application must be displayed, such as the Privacy Policy, was revealed.
The safety section was introduced in the first quarter of 2022 (January to March), but this guideline has been announced to be able to secure time for app developers to respond.The design of the safety section has not been decided yet, but some mockups have been presented for next year.
In the safety section, you can specify how user data is used, accessing, or which data is required to operate the app.This information is displayed in all Google Play Store apps, so the user can know the details before installing.
But the most important thing is that all apps need to provide a privacy policy from April 2022, regardless of Google formula or third party.Safety section information registration will be started in October and must be submitted by the second quarter of 2022 (April to June).
If the safety section information is not registered, all the developers will be rejected for new applications and updates.In addition, an unsupported app is displayed as "No information".This makes it possible to distinguish the application that submits information.Until now, the display of the privacy policy was required only in family apps.
As privacy and security are increasingly emphasized, it seems that Google's goal is to clarify how the app uses user data.This will give us benefits to us and developers.
Apple (Apple) had already mandated the privacy policy on the App Store in 2018.Don't do it, Apple.
