Android developers will soon have to provide a way for people to delete data or accounts

In an effort to increase user trust in applications, Google Play has launched a number of recent initiatives to showcase developers’ privacy and security practices in an easy-to-understand way.

Android has also added a new data deletion policy to give users greater clarity and control over their in-app data. For apps that enable app account creation, developers must soon provide an option to initiate account and data deletion from within the app and online. This web requirement, which will be linked in the Data safety form, is especially important so that a user can request account and data deletion without having to reinstall an app.

Google Play’s initiatives and the new data deletion policy are intended to increase user trust in applications and protect users’ privacy and data. The initiatives will help developers build consumer trust by clearly communicating their security and privacy practices.

Google Play’s initiatives are a positive step forward in promoting user trust and protecting user data. The new data deletion policy will give users greater control over their in-app data and help ensure that their data is not misused.
