has been removed from Google Play because it violates our personal and sensitive information policy and section 4.3 of the Developer Distribution Agreement . This app won’t be available to users until you submit a compliant update.
Here’s how you can submit your app for another review:
- Read through the Personal and Sensitive Information article and make the necessary changes to your app. Your application is uploading device phone numbers to http://app.jou.kr without prominent disclosure. Also your app must handle user data securely, including transmitting it using modern cryptography (for example, over HTTPS).
- Make sure your app is compliant with the User Data policy and all other policies listed in the Developer Program Policies . Remember that additional enforcement could occur if there are further policy issues with your apps.
- Sign in to your Play Console and upload the modified, policy compliant APK. Make sure to increment the version number of the APK.
- Submit your app.
If approved, your app will again be available with all installs, ratings, and reviews intact.
We classify user information including but not limited to, call logs, message logs, email address, phone number, name, social media account information, and contacts as private and confidential information. An app downloaded from Google Play (or its components or derivative elements) which transmits this information off of the device without obtaining the user’s explicit consent is in violation of section 4.3 of the DDA.
If you’ve reviewed the policy and feel this removal may have been in error, please reach out to our policy support team . One of my colleagues will get back to you within 2 business days.
Best,
