What the rejection means

Google Play requires a page on the open web describing how to delete an account and what happens to the data, reachable without installing the app.

The usual causes

What to change

Publish a deletion page at a stable URL, enter it in the Play Console, and make sure it names what is kept and for how long.

Before you resubmit

Keeping it true after launch

A legal page stops being true the moment the product moves past it, usually by adding a payment provider, an analytics SDK or a sign-in. No store re-checks your pages against your build, so the drift is yours to notice.

Common questions

How long does a resubmission take?

Usually the same as a first review. Answering the exact point raised, with a link, is what shortens it.

Can I argue a rejection?

You can, and sometimes you should. It works when the reviewer has misread something and you can show it in one sentence with a link. It rarely works as a general objection.
