Google Play’s app descriptions have a new Data Safety section now. We explain why this isn’t such great news.
Starting July 20, all developers who publish Android apps in the Google Play store must detail what data they collect and how they use it.

We give a brief overview of what’s changed and explain how to assess the risks to your privacy going forward.
