Google Play will hide app permissions and hold developers accountable for data collecting

Google is planning to remove permissions it automatically collects from apps on its Play Store, giving developers control over what they want to reveal to users about data collecting.


Developers have until July 20 to submit a data privacy form for their apps, and they are "alone" responsible for making "full and correct declarations" for their apps.


When Google notices a mismatch between "your app behaviour and your declaration," it says it may take appropriate measures, including enforcement action.


According to The Verge, the policy change can be seen in Google Play Store's new Data Safety section, which is similar to Apple iOS 14 in that it presents a list of developer-provided privacy considerations.


The new policy states that "you alone are responsible for making comprehensive and accurate declarations in your app's store listing on Google Play."


"Google Play analyses apps for compliance with all policy standards; nevertheless, we cannot make decisions on behalf of developers about how they manage user data," the tech giant noted under the Data Safety section.


The Google Play Store introduced a new data privacy section earlier this year, relying on developers to publish the information their apps collect.


Last year, Google originally revealed the new data privacy area.


Google stated, "Only you have all of the information required to complete the Data safety form."


The Apple App Store has a similar guideline in place for its privacy "nutrition" labels, and it also compels developers to give "self-reported summaries" on the privacy practices of their products.
