I was rejected for not complying user data policy.My email reads
'Must be available on an active, publicly accessible and non-geofenced URL (no PDFs), cannot be edited or commented, and cannot auto download a file.
Under the User Data policy, you must link to a privacy policy on your app’s store listing page and within your app. Apps that do not access any personal and sensitive user data must still submit a privacy policy.'i asked the same question a year ago,I was being suggested to prepare a txt file,save to Google drive and paste the link at the play console platform.do I need to to have a web site solely for this purpose?please advice…best rdgs,tst
Does your website have a user data policy? If so, put the link here.
If not, you need to add one. Many developers just copy one from another site which works well for them.
I never have any experience in developing a web site before,so it pose a huge difficulty for me.do I really have to develop a web site for data policy to work for me?I only developed app created by nsb appstudio.is there other easier option?one thing for me is the expenditure involved,which I don’t have enough money to create a web site out there that sits forever.i would also like to hear from app studio users here,who creates android app,the easiest way they made it works well.best rdgs,tst
Does nsb appstudio have an option here to solve data policy problem for user here?an web site with only a text page that sits there, when the user keeps paying for the web site cost,even when the user stops subscribing appstudio.an option where the user just needs to upload a text file,and immediately have the link.i don’t understand the complex method involved in creating appstudio web site hosting,which I believe I can never manage to understand.best rdgs,tst
As I understand Apple’s guidelines, you need to have your own web site.
If you have a Google account, I think you can publish a static web page on Google Sites for free. Then you can use that address.
Let me know it that works.
Thanks for your reply,now it works!go to https:/sites.google.com. Make sure you read the YouTube video on how you go about it.create a text box in appstudio,in value,type in ,privacy policy, substitute yourwebsite for your web site URL that you publish.
Is that possible for nsb to have a simple upload appstudio app to the web and immediately have a link option as an additional new option, in the near future ,during when the user are subscribing to nsb appstudio.as (1)I read from news saying future Google phone system blocks “install APK from source other than play store”,(2)so that it can be install from iphone using safari(or add to home screen).both options facilities testing nsb appstudio apps.best rdgs,TsTan
You can do this from your own website.
We won’t be providing this as a service - we help developers create apps, but have no plans to develop another distribution service. Plus, if an app is popular, it could overwhelm our servers and give a huge hosting bill.
Noted with thanks…
I believe nsb document on the subject of nsb web hosting is sufficient.so I would like,perhaps,kind user who had successfully created nsb web hosting;to kindly write a listing in plain English,detailing and explaining the details of the nsb web hosting preparation and process involved.or better still, explaining the logic behind(in plain english).I know this is giving a hard time to you.but,for the benefit of user like me,with no IT background.to taste the fruitful and joy in completing the whole nsb web hosting process.thousand thanks with thanks in advance,tst

This may or may not be of help but give it a look. A personal app of mine has a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service including data use policy. This was added a long time ago before I made the app a WPA, but may still apply to WPAs if you wish to post them to a store. I took the wording from somewhere, and modified it accordingly. Go to recipe.reciperasa.com, choose Settings then Help at the bottom.
Good Luck, John
Hi,John, I do not collect user data.my user data policy is copied from one of the post ,it works now.i paste the user data policy URL in playstore.and place a link in my app that links to that user data policy URL.now,my app is live.best rdgs,tst
Hi, after months.now Google says it is a violation of my web page(privacy policy),had been taken down for viewing.thoughts?
I think you can join GitHub for free and then create a Github Pages site in you repository, see https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/creating-a-github-pages-site
I don’t know much about GitHub, but I think that Github Pages are used primarily for exactly this purpose, though usually for code hosted on GitHub, I guess.
Let me know it that works.
Thanks for the guidance,my app new version has not been created yet,will try the steps then .best rdgs,tst
In a first glance,github is more complicated then site.google.com.will still have a try when I am free,hopes everything will be fine.best rdgs,tst
I would be happy to provide a step-by-step guide on how to set up your free website using GitHub Pages.
This process is straightforward and ideal for hosting static files (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript).
Step-by-Step Guide to Hosting with GitHub Pages
This guide is for creating a User Site, which is perfect for a personal website and is hosted directly from a special repository name.
1. Create a GitHub Account
If you don’t already have one, sign up for a free account at GitHub.
2. Create the Pages Repository
The name of this repository is crucial, as it determines your website’s URL.
* Log in to GitHub.
* In the upper-right corner, click the + sign and select New repository.
* For the Repository name, you must use this exact format:
Replace your-username with your actual GitHub username. For example, if your username is coder123, the repository name must be coder123.github.io.
* Set the Visibility to Public (free Pages hosting requires a public repository).
* Check the box to Initialize this repository with a README.
* Click Create repository.
3. Upload Your Website Files
GitHub Pages automatically looks for an index.html file in the root of your repository to serve as your homepage.
* Navigate to your new repository (your-username.github.io).
* Click the Add file dropdown, then select Upload files.
* Drag and drop your website files (at minimum, your main index.html file, plus any CSS, JavaScript, and image files) into the upload area.
To make a quick test page, you can click Add file > Create new file and name it index.html. Paste some simple HTML code inside, like
Hello World!
, and click Commit new file.* Scroll down, leave a commit message (e.g., “Initial site files”), and click the Commit changes button.
4. Visit Your Live Website
Your website should now be available at the address you chose for your repository name:
It may take a few minutes (up to 10 minutes sometimes) for GitHub to process the files and deploy the site. If it doesn’t appear immediately, wait a little while and refresh the page.
Pro Tip for Static Site Developers
If you are using tools like Netlify or Vercel (which were also mentioned in the search results) to host a static site, you can connect them directly to your GitHub repository. These providers often offer a faster setup and more advanced features like Continuous Deployment (auto-updates every time you push code to GitHub) and are excellent alternatives to GitHub Pages.
Thank you - we will have a look at this.
Originally,my Google site, didn’t creat from a blank site.and,I didn’t delete away several link and unwanted image holder and label.i guess that is what made my app privacy policy being taken down.will wait for several days and see what happens.. best rdgs,tst
