How to declare app permissions
To ensure safety of user data, the RuStore Console features a new User Data Safety section that requires a developer to provide information about categories and data types collected by the app, as well as about dangerous permissions. This section is divided into two subsections, i.e. “Dangerous permissions” and “Data types and categories”.
The “Dangerous permissions” subsection provides a list of dangerous permissions and will only be displayed if your app possesses any of them.
In case there are any dangerous permissions detected in your app, you need to fill in the “Purpose” field, specifying the reason why your app requests this or that permission.
Then, specify all data types your app requests the access to in The “Data types and categories” subsection.
For more information about available data types, see Categories and data types.
The “Data types and categories” section is available for all app versions regardless of a permission type.
Once you have completed all the required fields and sent it for moderation, the RuStore team will start verifying your application.
Before submitting your app for moderation, be sure to check the application for compliance with the App Review Guidelines.
If there are any dangerous permissions detected, the RuStore team will carry out a thorough check.
If your app will be proved not to comply with the permission rules, we will get back to you by email for some clarifications.
You can proceed to app release once your app has successfully completed the Developer Guidelines Check.
