Missing Declaration of Email Address Collection in Privacy Policy
Missing Declaration of Email Address Collection in Privacy Policy
Description
The vulnerability exists in the app's privacy policy as it fails to mention the collection of users' email addresses, even though this data type is declared in the Play Data Safety Section, potentially leading to a lack of transparency and potential privacy concerns for users.
Recommendation
To mitigate the vulnerability of collecting users' email addresses, ensure that your privacy policy clearly states the purpose for collecting this data, how it will be used, and how users can opt out or request deletion of their information. Additionally, implement strong security measures to protect this sensitive data from unauthorized access or breaches.
