Prepare for Google Play's data disclosure requirements
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
In May 2021, Google Play
announced the new Data safety section,
which is a developer-provided disclosure for an app's data collection, sharing,
and security practices.
This page can help you complete the requirements for this data disclosure in
regards to your usage of the Driver SDK for Android. On this page, you can find
information on how the Driver SDK for Android handles end-user data, including any
applicable configurations or invocations you can control as the app
developer.
We aim to be as transparent as possible in supporting you; however, as the
app developer, you are solely responsible for deciding how to respond to Google
Play's Data safety section form regarding your app's end-user data collection,
sharing, and security practices.
How to use the information on this page
This page lists the end-user data collected by only the latest version of
the Driver SDK for Android.
To complete your data disclosure, you can use Android's
guide about data types
to help you determine which data type best describes the collected data. In
your data disclosure, make sure to also account for how your specific app
shares and uses the collected data.
Data collected automatically
Request metadata
Collects request metadata to maintain and improve Google services.
For example:
Device metadata: OS version, name, model, brand, form factor.
Driver SDK for Android build and version information.
Number of results returned.
Stack traces
Crash metrics
Collects stack traces during crashes within the SDK code and crash
metrics such as nontypical terminations to improve the stability of our SDKs
and improve Google services.
IP address
Collects the IP address to understand SDK usage and improve Google
services.
latitude/longitude coordinates
Collects latitude/longitude coordinates to operate Fleet Engine
and to improve Google services.
Vehicle ID
Collects the Vehicle ID set by the app to operate Fleet Engine and improve Google services.
Driver SDK identifier
Collects a securely generated identifier that resets on a regular basis in order to
understand Driver SDK usage and improve Google services.
