User ID Collection in Privacy Policy

User ID Collection in Privacy Policy

Description

The vulnerability exists in the application's failure to properly disclose the collection of user IDs in the privacy policy, as required by the Play Data Safety Section. This lack of transparency puts users at risk of having their personal information collected without their knowledge or consent.

Recommendation

To mitigate the vulnerability of collecting user IDs, ensure that your privacy policy clearly states the purpose for collecting this data, obtain explicit consent from users before collecting their user IDs, 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.
