App Compliance Guide
Google Play Data Safety guide
A practical Google Play Data Safety guide for mapping real data practices to accurate Play Console disclosures.
Overview
Google Play Data Safety requires teams to declare how data is collected, shared, and protected across app features and SDKs.
This guide helps teams gather engineering evidence and convert it into accurate Play Console entries.
Why this matters
Data Safety mismatches can trigger rejection and repeated policy review. Consistent disclosures reduce launch risk.
Step-by-step checklist
- Build a feature-to-data inventory for core user flows.
- Map each third-party SDK to collected data categories.
- Document whether collection is optional, required, or background.
- Validate encryption and deletion statements before submission.
- Cross-check Data Safety answers with privacy policy content.
- Re-run disclosure review when SDK versions change.
Common mistakes
- Submitting form responses without an engineering data audit.
- Assuming SDK defaults without vendor documentation review.
- Forgetting to update disclosures after new analytics integrations.
