“#Google is launching iOS-style privacy labels for Android app<\/a>s next year<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Google\u2018s following Apple again by committing to introduce privacy labels<\/a> for Android\u00a0apps in the Play Store next year.<\/p>\n

Google will show these labels for the app on the Play Store under the new Saftey section. It\u2019ll show you what kind of data the app collects \u2014 approximate or exact location, personal information, photos, and storage \u2014 and how it plans to use the data.<\/p>\n

The iPhone maker gave a glimpse of these labels last year at the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), and introduced them to the App Store later in December. They give you an indication of what data the app is collecting from you.<\/p>\n

In addition to data collection labels, the Safety section will show if the app follows Google\u2019s family guidelines, security practices like encrypting data, and data deletion on request. These are useful indicators that give more context about how your data lives on the app developer\u2019s server, and it\u2019s as important as knowing what data is being collected.<\/p>\n

The company has given a timeline for the label implementation on its blog. In the next quarter, the firm plans to issue a policy about this new feature, and later in the year, it\u2019ll allow developers to start declaring these labels in the Google Play consoles.<\/p>\n

Google hasn\u2019t launched any pop-up like Apple that asks users for their permissions for tracking their data, but the upcoming Safety section will have a place for apps to explain why they need to track user data.<\/p>\n

The company plans to enforce safety labels on apps by mid-next year, but it hasn\u2019t said what will happen to the apps that aren\u2019t in compliance. It\u2019s notable that the Big G took its own sweet time<\/a> in rolling out privacy labels for its own iOS apps earlier this year.<\/p>\n
