A new safety section is coming to Google Play.
Starting next year, Android developers will be required to include a privacy policy with their app.
The requirement covers both first-party and third-party app developers.
Previously, only apps that collected such information had to disclose their policies on the Play store.
If you’re an Android user, you’ll start seeing the policies at the beginning of next year.
The requirement to include a privacy policy comes amid rising concerns about the amount of data collected by apps.
The implementation of a similar requirement on Android spreads the practice to even more people.
Android is themost popular mobile operating systemon the planet, powering almost nine out of 10 smartphones.
