After leaving the Play store a few days ago, the app permissions section was finally restored by Google.
A few months ago, the Play Store hosted a section called “Data Security”. This gives developers the opportunity to communicate to users the data collected by their applications. The problem ? By deleting its own section, Google then deprived its users of a certain transparency.
It goes and it comes back…
As reported to us by The Vergethe Mountain View company is finally reversing its decision to withdraw one of the sections of its Play Store following the dissatisfaction of its community.
Google then expressed the importance of continuing to give Android users a choice:
“The Data Security section gives users a simplified view of how an app collects, shares and secures user data, but we also want information about app permissions to be easily viewable so users can understand the ability of an application to access restricted specific data and actions”.
So this is good news for Android users, who had, in large numbers, challenged Google’s decision applied last week. For those who therefore feared concerns about clarity and/or transparency, you can now be reassured.
