android - How do I show privacy policy in my application

Question

My app has been removed due to violating the Android Advertising ID. So I requested an appeal to get my app into the app store and this is what they respond.

There are three ways to address this issue:

1. If your app requests user data or makes sensitive permissions
   requests such as Phone, Accounts, Contacts, Camera, Microphone, or if your app uses the Android advertising identifier, you'll need to add a valid privacy policy in two places: your app's store listing page (instructions below) and within your app.

2. As a second option, you can remove any requests for user data or sensitive permissions such as Android Advertising identifier. You will not need to add a privacy policy if you remove these requests.

3. If you cannot complete steps 1 or 2, you'll need to unpublish the app from Google Play. If your app is already unpublished, you don’t need to take action unless you re-publish the app in the future.

I recently just add a valid privacy policy in my app's store listing page and my app was published into the Google Play store again.

However, I don't know how to put it within my app. I have searched all over the place on how to do it and I can't find anyway to do it. They only show me on how to add privacy policy into the app's store listing page which I already did.

I don't want to risk getting removed again.

Answer 1

There are sites that help you write a privacy policy for your app (privacy policy generators), for example: https://app-privacy-policy-generator.firebaseapp.com/.

The file you get in the end you can upload to a website, if you have one, or even to dropbox (with permission to everyone to read), and add a link in your app to this file. You can also do it with a webview or any other way to present text in the app.
