I am trying to fill data safety for the google play console. I am using only admob and no other third party apis that collect info about the user. How should I fill it in?

    Your best resource for this type of question will be [AdMob](https://developers.google.com/admob/android/play-data-disclosure) itself - which has a page about this. – Tyler V Jan 09 '22 at 20:23

For AdMob:

Does your app collect or share any of the required user data types? Yes
Is all of the user data collected by your app encrypted in transit? Yes
Do you provide a way for users to request that their data is deleted? No

Location > Approximate location
App activity > App interactions
App info and performance > Crash logs, Diagnostics
Device or other identifiers > Device or other identifiers

Is this data collected, shared, or both? Shared
Is this data processed ephemerally? No
Is this data required for your app, or can users choose whether it’s collected? Data collection is required (users can’t turn off this data collection)
Why is this user data shared? Advertising or marketing

  • How do you know that data in transit is encrypted? Google didn't provide answer to this question yet, both in docs, neither on forums f.e. https://groups.google.com/g/google-admob-ads-sdk/c/2So-N4qi2xE – ufoq Jan 27 '22 at 20:10

    @ufoq you can see in the documentation. They have mentioned "All of the user data collected by Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol." https://developers.google.com/admob/android/play-data-disclosure#data_collected_and_shared_automatically – M.ArslanKhan Jul 30 '22 at 20:21
  • Do I still need to choose Approximate location if I've not put permission in manifest xml ? – zivz Sep 09 '22 at 10:11
  • Yes you have to because Admob uses it, you can find it in it's website. https://developers.google.com/admob/android/play-data-disclosure – Mostafa Onaizan Sep 09 '22 at 21:57
