Explained: Google's New Safety Section On Play Store That Shows What Data Apps Are Collecting

Google is making things more safe for Android users on the Google Play Store. The company is finally rolling out the Safety Section on the Google Play Store that shows how each app collects and processes your data. Google’s new safety section is essentially an overview of what data an app collects and how it processes it. Google is calling it the “Data safety section" and it will require developers of apps to give people more information as to how their apps collect data, share and secure user data. Google’s policy makes it mandatory for developers to give accurate information in this section, and any misinterpretation of data will be treated as a violation of Google Play policy, meaning that an app may be taken down from the Google Play Store if it doesn’t properly or accurately disclose the data it is collecting and how it will use it.
