User data — prominent disclosure required

Sensitive data is collected without prominent in-product disclosure or user consent.

Common reasons Google rejected this

  • 01Extension collects sensitive data unrelated to its visible purpose.
  • 02Data collection happens without informing the user inside the extension.
  • 03No explicit consent flow before sensitive data is sent off-device.

How to fix it

  • Show a clear prompt or notice before collecting sensitive data.
  • Disclose data practices on the store listing AND inside the extension UI.
  • Make data collection opt-in rather than opt-out.
