Is my app or its dependencies violating the Android Advertising Id policy?

Question

I\'ve just received this message from Google Play but I\'m not collecting the Advertising ID.

Reason for warning: Violation of Usage of Android Advert

Answer 1

The issue states the violation is due to using user's Android Advertising ID. I had the same problem. I created a privacy policy and added the url to that in my app and to the Google Play page. Submitted an update and the App is live again. Make sure to mention that you are collecting a personally identifiable information, Android Advertising ID, in your app. I've given a link to my app's privacy policy, refer to that if you need to know how exactly it is mentioned.

This is my privacy policy:
