Google's policy on account deletion pages
Google Play’s commitment to user data protection has evolved, introducing new requirements for app developers. As of early 2024, apps are mandated to provide robust user data control mechanisms, including the ability for users to delete their accounts and associated data. Let’s delve into these new policies and how Abandon, a groundbreaking service, simplifies compliance for developers.
Understanding Google Play’s Account Deletion Requirements
Google Play’s User Data Policy now necessitates that developers offer users a seamless pathway to delete their app accounts and related data. Failure to comply might result in enforcement actions. Developers are required to fill out detailed Data Deletion questions in the Play Console, outlining the steps taken for account and data deletion.
Google play’s policy requires the app developer to provide ability to delete account within the app and also provide a link where user can request app account deletion. This link will be shown in the app’s play store page with the intent of allowing end users to delete their account without having to install the app.
