Missing Declaration of Phone Number Collection in Privacy Policy

Missing Declaration of Phone Number Collection in Privacy Policy

Description

The vulnerability exists in the app's privacy policy as it fails to mention the collection of users' phone numbers, even though this data type is declared in the Play Data Safety Section, potentially putting users' privacy at risk.

Recommendation

To mitigate the vulnerability of collecting users' phone numbers, ensure that your privacy policy clearly states the purpose for collecting this data, obtain explicit consent from users before collecting their phone numbers, and implement strong security measures to protect this sensitive information from unauthorized access or misuse. Additionally, regularly review and update your privacy policy to reflect any changes in data collection practices.
