Weva Data Safety Form

Updated:
October 7, 2024

The Weva App Store's Data safety form provides developers with a transparent way to show users if and how they collect, share and protect user data, before users install an app. Developers are required to tell us about their apps' privacy and security practices by completing a form in The Weva App Store. This information is then shown on your app's store listing on The Weva App Store.

Overview

The Data safety form on The Weva App Store is a simple way for you to help people understand what user data your app collects or shares, and to showcase your app’s key privacy and security practices. This information helps users make more informed choices when deciding what apps to install.

All developers must declare how they collect and handle user data for the apps that they publish on The Weva App Store, and provide details about how they protect this data through security practices like encryption. This includes data collected and handled through any third-party libraries or SDKs used in their apps. You may want to refer to your SDK providers' published Data safety information for details.

You can provide this information through the Data safety form. After you complete and submit the Data safety form, The Weva App Store reviews the information that you provide as part of the app-review process. It's then shown on your store listing to help The Weva App Store users understand how you collect and share data before they download your app.

You alone are responsible for making complete and accurate declarations in your app's store listing on The Weva App Store. The Weva App Store reviews apps across all policy requirements; however we cannot make determinations on behalf of the developers of how they handle user data. Only you possess all the information required to complete the Data safety form. When Weva becomes aware of a discrepancy between your app behaviour and your declaration, we may take appropriate action, including enforcement action.

Which developers need to complete the Data safety form in The Weva App Store?

All developers that have an app published on The Weva App Store must complete the Data safety form, including apps on closed, open or production testing tracks. This also applies to pre-granted and preloaded apps that update through The Weva App Store.

Even developers with apps that do not collect any user data must complete this form and provide a link to their privacy policy. In this case, the completed form and privacy policy can indicate that no user data is collected or shared.

Getting your information ready

Before you provide information for The Weva App Store's Data safety section, we recommend that you:

  • Read and understand the requirements for completing the Data safety form in The Weva App Store and complying with our user data policy.
  • Ensure that you've added a privacy policy; this is required to complete the Data safety form and have your Data safety information shown to users.
  • Review how your app collects and shares user data and your app’s security practices. In particular, check your app’s declared permissions and the APIs that your app uses.
  • In addition to reviewing how your app collects and shares user data, you should also review how any third-party code (such as third-party libraries or SDKs) in your app collects and shares such data. It's your responsibility to ensure that any such code used in your app is compliant with Play Developer Programme Policies. You must reflect data collection or sharing carried out by such third-party code in the Data safety form for your app.
