Google Play Policy updates




Hello Google Play Developer,


We're writing to let you know about a recent update to our Developer Policy  
Center. We make updates from time to time as part of a continuous effort to  
make Google Play a positive experience for both developers and consumers.

This email is to inform you of recent changes we've made to our policies:


We've introduced a new Families policy and updated our Designed for  
Families program policy. See this blog post for more details.
We've introduced a new Ad Network Certification policy for apps that serve  
ads to children.
We've updated our Inappropriate Content policies to clarify our existing  
Sexual Content and Hate Speech policies and introduce new policies on  
Marijuana, Tobacco and Alcohol.
We've updated our Payments policy to introduce a requirement to disclose  
odds for lootboxes.
We have updated our Gambling policy with additional examples.
We've clarified our User Generated Content policy to explicitly prohibit  
monetization features that encourage objectionable behavior by users.
We've updated our Minimum Functionality policy to ensure that apps on our  
platform are designed in a stable, engaging, and responsive way that  
satisfies all functionality requirements.
We've updated our Intellectual Property policy to make clear the  
prohibition of the sale or promotion for sale of counterfeit goods within  
an app.

We encourage you to review these policy updates carefully in case any of  
your existing apps are impacted. Any new apps or app updates published  
after this notification will immediately be subject to the latest version  
of the Developer Program Policies.

If you find an existing app in your catalog that isn't compliant, please  
fix the app and submit it again, or unpublish it to prevent your app from  
being removed from Google Play.
