In May 2021, Google
Play announced the new Data safety section
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/privacy/play-data-disclosure. All
application must declare data safety, include if application has 3rd partly
like Google Google Mobile Ads.
Unfortunately, the
guidance data disclosure in
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/privacy/play-data-disclosure does
not clear. It does mention clues what Google Mobile Ads SDK do with our client
data. Here are the clues:
