Google Follows Apple Into Bringing App Privacy Labels to Play Store
Posted by Sanuj Bhatia on May 07, 2021 in Google, News
Following the footsteps of Apple, Google will soon require app developers to explicitly declare what kind of data their app collects. This comes only months after Apple announced its App Store ‘Nutrition Labels’ at the WWDC 2020 event.
As a part of the new “Safety Section,” Google wants developers to educate their users on what kind of data an app collects, how it is handled, and if the data collected is secured or not. Moreover, Google wants app developers to declare if their app has security practices (like data encryption), whether or not it follows Families policy and more.
