Google unpublished a couple of my apps the other day for having out of date privacy policies. Fair, those URLs went dead. However, upon updating the URLs, one app was still not accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wall Ball<\/a>. That’s because it doesn’t collect data on you. And what I mean by that is that when my privacy policy looked like this<\/a>, Google rejected the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I’ve updated the privacy policy URL to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/gmr.dev\/privacy\/wallball2.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which basically just says I have ads in the game even though I don’t…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas the link on the main privacy policy page<\/a> goes to the “real” one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/gmr.dev\/privacy\/wallball.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we’ll see if Google accepts it this time. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But hey, maybe it’s just their idea of an April Fools joke. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
