Arf Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 6, 2024 #1 I'm trying to put a new app into testing on google play store, it's been a while since I did this. I get an error on upload: "Your APK or Android App Bundle is using permissions that require a privacy policy: (android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE)" How can I circumvent this? I'm not given any link to paste in a privacy policy URL or anything like that. Thanks

Arf Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 6, 2024 #4 If you look at the main page for your app on the Play Developers Console, scroll down to the second last option on the left 'App Content'. I had to either just go through some questions to get the declarations approved, or for the privacy policy I put in a link to my company's website where there is a privacy policy lurking somewhere. In other app I made I believe I used https://www.freeprivacypolicy.com to create a policy, they host it too - then I pasted in the link to that, job done Upvote 0

Shelby Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 6, 2024 #5 I went through hell with this requirement by Google Play as well. Eventually I wrote my own policy and it took a few more trials and errors before I finally got the bot police to shut up. Like you said, I put a link to my website where the next link went to the policy. I had no information collected or used. Ruff! Ruff! Arf! Upvote 0
