Google will remove the list ‘permissions’ that include Play Store applications so far and lists the accesses and requirements they need to be able to operate correctly on the device before installation.
As of July 20, it will be mandatory for applications to have a section called ‘Data Security’, which Google implemented at the end of April and which allows users to consult information regarding the security and data protection mechanisms of the ‘apps’ and the collection of data and treatment of the same, provided by the developers themselves.
‘Data security’ seems to replace the ‘Permissions’ list, which will no longer appear in the information of an ‘app’ in the Play Store, as the publisher of esper.io, mishaal rahmanin your account Twitter.
With the launch of the Data Safety section on Google Play, which will be mandatory for all apps in 1 week, it seems the app permissions list is going away in both the mobile app and the web.
The ‘Permissions’ listing lists the requirements that an application needs to operate on a device,such as access to the camera or the contact list. In addition, the user can access this list before installing it to know this information in advance and decide based on their privacy.
This change can be seen in some of the ‘apps’ that have already implemented the new section, such as Youtube. In this case, there are three large sections, in which it indicates that “it does not share user data with third parties”; the data that can be collected, with a breakdown of its purpose (also optional); and the security practices implemented, for example, whether the data is encrypted or whether there is a possibility to ask for data deletion.
