Google Play Data Safety Requirements
Google will require a privacy disclosure for all new apps and app updates from July 20, 2022 onwards.
Within the Google Play Console, you will have to complete the ‘Data safety’ section present under the ‘App Privacy’ tab. Detailed instructions from Google can be found here.
Since InviteReferrals is a third-party to your app, be mindful that you will have to properly disclose the exact ways in which you are handling user data with InviteReferrals.
By default, for Android apps, InviteReferrals collects information pertaining only to 'Purchases' (in-app) and 'App interactions' (clicks and session duration). Users who set up and collect email IDs, phone numbers, or additional data through ‘Data Tags’ or ‘Outcomes’ will have to disclose these additional data types.
Kindly review the following ‘Data types’ when filling out your ‘Data safety’ details.
