Dear Devs, I developed an app for android and my app asks for permissions INTERNET and GET_ACCOUNTS. Before I ask for the permissions, I show a dialog where I clearly mention the following text:
*INTERNET* - Allows applications to open network sockets. This permission allows <AppName> to access internet from this device and access the online content. *GET_ACCOUNTS* - Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service. This permission allows <AppName> to read the accounts information on this device and store the email addresses on a remote server safely for promotional purposes. <AppName> does not send spam emails or disclose information to third parties except mentioned in the privacy policy. Only after the user has clicked "Agree" I proceed with the permission dialogs and only then I store the email ids of the users. After the user has permitted to read the account details, for keeping track of daily active users, the app sends the email information every time the user opens the app. Today I received an email from google that they have removed my app for policy violation i.e. storing user information without prominent disclosure. But I don't understand where am I violating the policy because I did show the dialog and the user did agree to give the app permissions? Please help me understand this Google Policy about prominent disclosure. Thanks a lot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
