Data SafetyData Safety section

What this guideline means

Google cross-references your declared data collection against what reviewers can observe the app doing. Any mismatch — even one omitted data type — can trigger a rejection.

Why apps actually get flagged

Usually caused by the form not being updated after a new SDK or permission was added to the app since it was last submitted.

A real example

"Your app's Data safety section doesn't accurately reflect the data collection and sharing practices described in your app's privacy policy."
