Programming Tips - Google Play Console: Data Safety questions when using AdMob

Date: 2024jan3 Platform: Android Q. Google Play Console: Data Safety questions when using AdMob A. You can find Data Safety by clicking on App Content on the left column (near the bottom in Play Console) When you're using AdMob you have to answer the first question "Does your app collect or share any of the required user data types?" With "Yes" This brings up "Is all of the user data collected by your app encrypted in transit?" Answer that as "Yes" The account question depends on your app. On the next page the user types listed here: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/privacy/play-data-disclosure#data_collected_and_shared_automatically We'll just repeat it: - IP-Address - User Product Interactions - Diagnostic Information - Device and Account identifiers Unfortunately that doesn't map exactly to the questions asked in Play Console. We aren't going do give advice on how to answer, since weren't not sure. --- In "App Content" there is another question (separate from Data Safety) about use of Advertising ID. I set that to YES for all my apps that use AdMob - NOT sure but I bet they use it.
