Google Play Developer policy violation
Hi! I received the below email from Google Play Support. Is there a preference I need to change on the app setup so it doesn’t violate their User Data policy? i didn’t think I asked for sensitive permissions or user data and would like to removing any requests for sensitive permissions or user data.
Hello Google Play Developer,
Our records show that your app, EbyStorm, with package name com.mobincube.android.sc_3H33WE, currently violates our User Data policy regarding Personal and Sensitive Information.
Policy issue: Google Play requires developers to provide a valid privacy policy when the app requests or handles sensitive user or device information. Your app requests sensitive permissions (e.g. camera, microphone, accounts, contacts, or phone) or user data, but does not include a valid privacy policy.
Action required: Include a link to a valid privacy policy on your app's Store Listing page and within your app. You can find more information in our help center.
Alternatively, you may opt-out of this requirement by removing any requests for sensitive permissions or user data.
If you have additional apps in your catalog, please make sure they are compliant with our Prominent Disclosurerequirements.
Please resolve this issue by January 30, 2017, or administrative action will be taken to limit the visibility of your app, up to and including removal from the Play Store. Thanks for helping us provide a clear and transparent experience for Google Play users.
Regards,
The Google Play Team

Hi
You just need to insert the privacy policy in a screen on the app where the users can read it, and the URL when you publish the app in google play:
