In May 2021, Google Play
[announced the new Data safety section](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2021/05/new-safety-section-in-google-play-will.html),
which is a developer-provided disclosure for an app's data collection, sharing,
and security practices.

This page can help you complete the requirements for this data disclosure
regarding your use of the Driver SDK for Android. On this page, you can find
information on how the Driver SDK for Android handles end-user data, including any
applicable configurations or invocations you can control as the app
developer.

We aim to be as transparent as possible in supporting you; however, as the
app developer, you are solely responsible for deciding how to respond to Google
Play's Data safety section form regarding your app's end-user data collection,
sharing, and security practices.

## How to use the information on this page

This page lists the end-user data collected by only the latest version of
the Driver SDK for Android.

To complete your data disclosure, you can use Android's
[guide about data types](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/collect-share)
to help you determine which data type best describes the collected data. In
your data disclosure, make sure to also account for how your specific app
shares and uses the collected data.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Important:** To help you ensure that your app's disclosures are accurate, we recommend the following:
>
> - Always use the latest SDK version in your app. This page lists the data collected by only the latest version of the Driver SDK for Android.
> - Read this page whenever you update your app's SDK versions. Check that your data disclosures are accurate and up to date.

for core routing functions, refer to the [Google Play data disclosure page for
the Navigation SDK for Android](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/navigation/android-sdk/v2/play-data-disclosure) to learn more about data collection
