Google Play政策更新-隐私与Google Analytics(分析),Firebase Analytics

问题描述:

最近,Google更新了他们对开发人员的政策.

Recently Google updated theirs policy for developers.

https://play.google.com/about/privacy-安全/个人敏感/

如果您的应用处理个人或敏感用户数据(包括个人身份信息,财务和付款信息,身份验证信息,电话簿或联系数据,麦克风和摄像头传感器数据以及敏感设备数据),则您的应用必须:

If your app handles personal or sensitive user data (including personally identifiable information, financial and payment information, authentication information, phonebook or contact data, microphone and camera sensor data, and sensitive device data) then your app must:

..

如果您的应用收集并传输的个人或敏感用户数据与Google Play或应用界面中该应用的列表中突出描述的功能无关,那么在收集和传输之前,它必须突出显示用户数据的方式并已获得用户提供此类使用的肯定同意.

If your app collects and transmits personal or sensitive user data unrelated to functionality described prominently in the app’s listing on Google Play or in the app interface, then prior to the collection and transmission, it must prominently highlight how the user data will be used and have the user provide affirmative consent for such use.

..

您的应用的同意请求: 必须以清晰明确的方式展示同意对话;

Your app’s request for consent: Must present the consent dialog in a clear and unambiguous way;

所以我在想. Google Analytics(分析)不是用户真正需要的应用程序的一部分,它收集的数据可能是个人的.

So I was thinking. Google Analytics is not part of app what would user really need, it collects data which could be personal.

这是否意味着在不通过对话框(例如,应用首次启动时)的情况下,在未通过对话框询问用户许可的情况下,在应用中使用Google Analytics(分析)(firebase分析)是否违反了这些新条款.

Does it mean that using google analytics (firebase analytics) in app without asking user permission via dialog (for example when app firstly launched) is violation theese new terms.

Google play支持无法或不愿意回答此问题.

Google play support was not able or willingness to answer this.

在我看来,与条款保持一致的唯一方法是从我的应用程序中删除Google Analytics(分析).

Seemed to me that only way to be with terms is to remove google analytics from my app.

您怎么看?

我的理解是,一般而言,Google Analytics(分析)或Firebase Analytics(分析)不会收集个人身份信息(也就是说,您无法根据收集到的信息来识别特定用户).我相信Google/Firebase Analytics条款还指定不允许您通过自定义数据点使用这些API收集个人身份信息.

My understanding is that in general Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics do not collect personally identifiable information (meaning, you cannot identify a specific user based on the information that is collected). I believe Google/Firebase Analytics terms also specify that you are not allowed to collect personally identifiable information with these APIs via custom data points.
