Please contact policy support team.

1. If your app requests user data or makes sensitive permissions requests such as Phone, Accounts, Contacts, Camera, Microphone, or if your app uses the Android advertising identifier, you'll need to add a valid privacy policy in two places: your app's Store Listing page (instructions below) and within your app.
2. As a second option, you can remove any requests for user data or sensitive permissions. For example, you would need to remove {copy and paste permissions here} from the manifest. You will not need to add a privacy policy if you remove these requests. If you cannot complete steps 1 or 2, you'll need to unpublish the app from the Play Store.
3. If your app is already unpublished, you don’t need to take action unless you re-publish the app in the future.

You can follow these steps to add a privacy policy to your Store Listing:

1. Sign in to your Play Console.

2. Select your app.

3. On the left side, select Store presence > Store listing.

4. Under "Privacy Policy," enter the URL where you have the privacy policy hosted online.

5. Save your changes to submit the update to your app.
