[Marble-devel] Google Play Developer Program Policy Update

[Google Play]

Hello Google Play Developer,

We're excited to announce the launch of a redesigned Google Play Developer  
Policy Center, an online resource which strives to provide developers with  
greater transparency and insight into our program policies.

This redesign includes a new organizational structure for the Developer  
Program Policies, which are now grouped into six themes. We've also  
introduced detailed guidelines and visual examples to help you better  
understand the policies.

In our continuing effort to make Google Play the most trusted community for  
developers and consumers, we also took this opportunity to update a few  
policies in accordance with current practices. This email is to notify you  
of the latest changes to our policies, a few of which are highlighted below.


We've updated our Ads policy to prohibit inappropriate ads.
We've clarified our Ads policy to prohibit certain ad behaviors that  
interfere with device functionality.
We've introduced restrictions on apps that try to bypass system power  
management features under the Device and Network Abuse policy.
We've clarified our User Data policy to include a privacy policy  
requirement when collecting contact/phonebook data.

Any new apps or app updates published after this notification will be  
immediately subject to the latest version of the Developer Program Policy.  
If you find any existing apps in your catalog that don't comply, we ask  
that you unpublish the app, or fix and republish the app within 30 calendar  
days of receiving this email. After this period, existing apps discovered  
to be in violation may be subject to warning or removal from Google Play.

Thanks for partnering with us to deliver the world's most innovative and  
trusted apps to over a billion Google Play users. We're always looking for  
feedback, so please take a minute to check out the new site and tell us  
what you think!

Thanks for supporting Google Play,

The Google Play Team
