Google Play Data Safety Section

Recently, I was working on an app that had Google AdMob SDK integrated into it. While publishing the app on Google Play Store, I came across the Data Safety Section on the console. It asks for developers to declare the data types the app, or any 3rd-party SDK collects from the user. For my app I was easily able to create a list of data points I was collecting, however, for Google AdMob, there is literally no particular location to get that information.

Frustrated by the endless search, multiple blogs, and long documentations, I finally decided to create an open-source knowledge bank to host all of that information. Compiling all the research I, along with my fellow developer colleagues, have hosted a GitHub repository containing all the information that we have been using constantly. It makes it so much easier even when a small community of 3-4 developers can create such a useful resource, saving our effort and time.

I hope this might be helpful to numerous other app developers and will keep updating the list as we work on other SDKs. Feel free to provide valuable feedback, and contribute to the list so that others can benefit from the open-source community.
