Google Play Data Security Requirements
Starting from July 20, 2022, Google will require all new apps and app updates to undergo privacy disclosures. You are required to fill out the "Data Safety" section on the "App Privacy" tab in the Google Play Console. Information from Google can be found here. As EngageLab is a third party for your app, you must ensure the accurate disclosure of how you handle user data with EngageLab.
By default, EngageLab only collects Android app interactions (click counts and session duration). Users collecting email, phone numbers, or other data through data tag settings need to disclose these additional data types.
When providing detailed information on data security, please check the following data types. For more information on handling user data, refer to Data Processing Guide.
