Data Security Android
The table below follows Google Play's official Data safety taxonomy and describes the data types collected by the Appodeal SDK itself. Collection depends on your integration and on end-user permissions — for example, location is collected only when the app declares and is granted a location permission. You, the publisher, remain responsible for the final Data safety declaration for your app.
note
This page covers only the Appodeal SDK. Any ad network or service you enable through Appodeal collects data under its own Data safety declaration — account for those separately when filling out your Data safety form.
