Ideas to improve privacy policy:

  • (1) Move it from Settings > More to Settings' root
  • (2) Set a link in the login view (in the bottom, f .ex.).
  • (3) Include a link in the drawer.
  • (4) Include extended information (already sent to review)
  • (5) More information about "Primary account" (oC account? wording not clear)

more ideas? i think we should start to schedule a quick a 2.18.3 release with the mentioned improvements (or other ones, in case you don't like the suggested ones).

We'll take approaches (1), (3), (4) and (5), adding information about the use of method getAccountsByType from android.accounts.AccountManager, which mentions this:

* If your app accesses, collects, uses, or shares personal and sensitive data, you must clearly
* disclose that fact to users. For apps published on Google Play, policies protecting user data
* require that you do the following:</p>
* <ul>
* <li>Disclose to the user how your app accesses, collects, uses, or shares personal and
* sensitive data. Learn more about
* <a href="https://play.google.com/about/privacy-security-deception/user-data/#!#personal-sensitive">acceptable
* disclosure and consent</a>.</li>
* <li>Provide a privacy policy that describes your use of this data on- and off-device.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>To learn more, visit the
* <a href="https://play.google.com/about/privacy-security-deception/user-data">Google Play
* Policy regarding user data</a>.</p></div>
*
* <p>
* It is safe to call this method from the main thread.```
