Google Play Policy updates
Hello Google Play Developer,
We're writing to let you know about a recent update to our Developer Policy
Center. We make updates from time to time as part of a continuous effort to
make Google Play a positive experience for both developers and consumers.
This email is to inform you of recent changes we've made to our policies,
which are highlighted below.
We've clarified our Child Endangerment policy to emphasize the prohibition
of adult themes in apps that appeal to children.
We've introduced a new policy that prohibits any sale of Dangerous
Products, including firearms, explosives, etc. Our Violence policy has also
been updated accordingly.
We've introduced a new policy on Cryptocurrency mining in our Financial
Instruments section.
We've clarified our Spam policies to explicitly prohibit repetitive content
on our platform. We also don't allow apps whose primary purpose is to serve
ads.
We've introduced a new policy on misrepresentation in our Privacy,
Security, and Deception policy section.
Any new apps or app updates published after this notification will
immediately be subject to the latest version of the Developer Program
Policies.
We encourage you to review these policy updates carefully in case any of
your existing apps are impacted. If you find any apps in your catalog that
aren't compliant, please fix the app and submit it again, or unpublish the
app within 30 days of receiving this email.
