Starting April 2022, Android developers publishing on the Google Play store must define what data their apps collect, including the data collected by integrated third-party SDKs such as Unity Ads. For your convenience, Unity Ads provides information on its data collection practices in the following sections.
Important
The following data disclosures are for the Unity Ads SDK only. You are also responsible for providing any additional disclosures for your app, including other Unity SDKs and/or third-party SDKs used in your app.
For more information on Google's data safety disclosure policies, including terminology definitions, refer to the Google documentation.
