Google Play compliance checklist

Google Play compliance checklist for Data Safety, privacy policy requirements, permissions, and policy form consistency.

Overview

Google Play compliance depends on accurate disclosures across Data Safety, user data policy, and app behavior in production builds.

This checklist gives teams a practical pre-submission process to reduce mismatches that lead to rejection.

Why this matters

Google Play policy enforcement focuses on disclosure accuracy. Inconsistent forms and runtime behavior can trigger delays and policy actions.

Step-by-step checklist

  1. Publish a privacy policy that reflects all current data practices.
  2. Complete Data Safety fields based on verified engineering inputs.
  3. Audit permissions and remove unused sensitive declarations.
  4. Document third-party SDK behavior and data access.
  5. Align Play Console forms with feature flags and release channels.
  6. Prepare policy-response notes for review communications.

Common mistakes

  • Data Safety answers rely on assumptions instead of implementation checks.
  • Permission declarations are broader than real feature scope.
  • Play Console disclosures are not updated after SDK changes.
