  • Thank you I'm actually reading it , but since i'm using location on user device to get latitue and longitude and create http request to fetch some data which means that upon transit data is not secure , will that cause any issue ? – Taki Aug 04 '22 at 12:23
  • No i think . all you gotta do is provide a disclosure in data safety form of data you are using/collecting in your case location .. Read the data sharing and data type section .. then go to section `Completing the Data safety form in Play Console`.. – ADM Aug 04 '22 at 12:30

Most properly this is how you should answer the data safety form:

Precise location:

  • Collected? Yes
  • Shared? No
  • Processed ephemerally? No (or yes if you do not know who is the user when you process the location
  • Required? Yes
  • Purposes? App functionality

    Instead of collected , i selected shared and the rest is the same , Thank you mate , but the reason that i'm using location is to append latitude and longitude and request prayer timing from api based on certain location , do you think that would Collected or Shared , my understanding led to me choose Shared . – Taki Aug 05 '22 at 03:42
