Is your data safe?
According to a Google blog post, this policy will allow Android users to"learn what an app collects and why, so you can download with confidence." The Data safety section now requires app developers to state the kind of data they collect from you and how it is used. There will also be a note about whether or not this data is required for the app's function or if you can opt-out of data collection.
Developers will have to note whether data is being shared with third parties, what the app's security practices are, whether it is committed to following Google Play's Families Policy , and whether the developers have"validated their security practices against a global security standard."ymgerman / Shutterstock
Google asserts it is now giving users"more visibility" into data collection, as"apps should help users explore the world, connect with loved ones, do work, learn something new, and more without compromising user safety." According to, this step was initiated in response to Apple's App Tracking Transparency feature, which launched in 2021.
But be warned—just because Google now requires apps to disclose more information about data does not mean the final decision to download or not won't be up to you. While you may not be inclined to read the full user agreement or fine print, it may still be worth your while to do so for the time being.
