Right, but if an app agrees not to exfiltrate data via the app submission process, and then proceeds to do so, it's basically the same as the app having a privacy policy and then not adhering to it.
If an explicit "privacy policy" is required (for legal reasons or w/e), when an app submits "no data to be exfiltrated", the app store could say "here is the privacy policy you're agreeing to follow, no further action required".
- GuB-42 2y agoI don't know the Play Store app submission process, but if it isn't the case, it would be nice to have a bunch of pre-written privacy policies for common cases. Ideally hosted by Google, vetted by lawyers and explained in simple terms to both users and developers. And "we don't store any data" would be an obvious one, as well as those that use Google services exclusively (ads, ...). That would make it easier for everyone.
- Marsymars 2y agoAgreed, that would be good. Someone at Apple/Google should take a note.
