Effective January 2024, all developers with live apps that use advanced access or have published use cases for any permission or feature will be required to complete an annual Data Use Checkup.

This checkup ensures transparency and accountability in how your app collects, uses, and shares user data. As part of the process, you’ll be prompted to answer a set of data handling questions related to:

• The types of data your app accesses
• How that data is used
• How it is stored and secured
• Whether data is shared with third parties

Completing the Data Use Checkup is mandatory to maintain access to the requested permissions and features. Failure to complete the checkup may result in restricted access or the removal of certain permissions.

We encourage you to prepare in advance by reviewing your app’s data practices and ensuring compliance with platform policies and data protection regulations.

Stay compliant. Protect user trust. Keep your app running smoothly.
