Google Play's Data Safety requirements have been evolving, and 2026 brings the most significant enforcement yet. As an app developer, understanding these requirements is not optional — non-compliance can result in your app being removed from the Play Store.
What is the Data Safety Section?
The Data Safety section on your Play Store listing allows users to understand what data your app collects, why it is collected, and whether it is shared with third parties.
Account Deletion Requirements
One of the most impactful new requirements is the mandate for apps that allow account creation to also provide a mechanism for users to request account deletion. This deletion process must be accessible both within the app and via a web URL.
Neo Cybertech's Compliance Approach
We have implemented a dedicated account deletion portal at neocybertech.co/app-account-deletion for all our published applications.
