Whether a qualifying app has committed to following Google Play’s Families Policy to better protect children in the Play store.The app’s security practices, like encryption of data in transit and whether users can ask for data to be deleted.Whether the developer is sharing data with third parties.Whether the developer is collecting data and for what purpose.Here are the information developers can show in the Data safety section: Users can also see whether the app needs this data to function or if this data collection is optional. That’s why we designed the Data safety section to allow developers to clearly mark what data is being collected and for what purpose it's being used. In addition, users want to understand how app developers are securing user data after an app is downloaded. Users want to know for what purpose their data is being collected and whether the developer is sharing user data with third parties.

A unified view of app safety in Google Play
#Android play store app update#
As app developers update their functionality or change their data handling practices, they will show the latest in the apps’ Data safety section. Users will start seeing the Data safety section in Google Play today, and developers are required to complete this section for their apps by July 20th. Today, we’re launching a new feature, the Data safety section, where developers will be required to give people more information about how apps collect, share and secure users’ data. We work hard to keep Google Play a safe, trusted space for people to enjoy the latest Android apps.
