Android app privacy policy — ready to link

Android requirements

Android apps distributed outside Google Play — or listed on multiple stores — still need a privacy policy URL for ads, SDKs, and OAuth integrations. Align your policy with Google Play Data safety if you also publish on Play Console. One hosted URL works across distribution channels.

What Android checks before listing

• •In Play Console open Policy and programs → App content, select Start (or Manage) under Privacy Policy, enter the URL and save. Google says the policy must be on an active URL, apply to your app and specifically cover user privacy.
• •Link the policy on the store listing and inside the app; the Play Console field alone is not enough.
• •The URL must be active, publicly accessible and non-geofenced, not a PDF, and the page must not be editable by visitors.
• •The policy must name the developer entity shown in the listing (or the app), give a privacy contact or inquiry channel, be labelled as a privacy policy, and disclose the personal and sensitive data accessed, collected, used and shared, the parties it goes to, secure handling, retention and deletion.
• •Apps that access no personal or sensitive data must still submit a privacy policy, and the policy is not limited to what the Data safety section declares.
