I’m in the process of publishing my app to the play store and iOS app Store. My app is very simple and has a single page.
It displays a map (Google Maps Flutter) and the app centers the map to the user’s location if the user grants the location permission.
Note that the Google map in my app does not have “myLocationEnabled: true”, so location is not being sent to the Google Maps API (I assume). The app gets the device location using Geolocator and animates the Google map camera to those LatLng coordinates.
Now, in the process of publishing to Play Store, there’s this question:
“Does your app collect personal and sensitive information?”
and this one:
“You must disclose:
…
- Any user data sent off the user’s device by libraries or SDKs used in your app, regardless of whether this information is transmitted to you (the developer) or a third party.
…
Does your app collect or share abt of the required user data types?”
I’m really confused as I couldn’t find anything about this online. Please help. My app is open-source and does not have any ads. I do have a variable in my internal code called user_location, which is set after using the geolocator package to get the user location.
I could not find information about this in the docs or online sources.
