This page describes the compliance impact of integrating PPCashDeskSDK on Google Play review, and the actions merchants need to take.
Note
This page is derived from general SDK behavior. Some Android-specific configuration items are pending final confirmation from the Android SDK team. Items marked "pending confirmation" should be verified against the SDK release notes.
Data Safety Declaration
Google Play requires all apps to accurately declare data collection practices in the Data Safety form in Play Console. The following items need to be declared due to PPCashDeskSDK integration.
SDK Data Type Mapping
| SDK Collected Data | Data Safety Category | Purpose | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payment info (card number, CVV) | Financial info > Credit/debit card info | App functionality | No |
| Billing address | Personal info > Address | App functionality | No |
| Device identifier | Device or other IDs | App functionality | No |
| Sensor data (accelerometer, gyroscope) | App activity > Other actions | Fraud prevention, Security | Yes (configurable) |
| Behavioral biometrics (touch patterns) | App activity > Other actions | Fraud prevention, Security | Yes (configurable) |
SDK Data Sharing Statement
All data collected by PPCashDeskSDK is transmitted to the payment gateway via encrypted channels. No data is shared with any third-party advertising platforms or data brokers. For all data types in the Data Safety form, the "Is this data shared with third parties?" option should be set to No.
Permission Requirements
