As someone who has been serious about privacy policies for a long time, I have noticed that many developers simply copy from AI-generated content or other sources. Google takes this matter very seriously, and if your privacy policy does not follow the proper format, your game or account could be suspended soon.
Therefore, if you are drafting a privacy policy, do not just copy-paste. Before publishing, ensure that all important headings and information are included in your policy and linked properly.
