# Mobile Publisher Best Practices for App Content Declarations

After you create a placeholder app, you complete Google Play’s required App Content declarations to publish your Android app. When you publish a Mobile Publisher Android app, follow best practices specific to Mobile Publisher for the Privacy policy, App access, Data safety, and Financial features declarations.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-branded_apps_exp_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/cf85363c-215e-4784-bb6a-c5c83c4e7140/images/icon_note.png)

Note Most of this step applies to **public distribution** only. The exception is the Health Apps declaration in the Financial and Health App features section, which applies to both public and private distribution.

To find your app’s declarations in the Google Play console, scroll to the Policy and programs section in the left navigation pane. Then, click **App content**. Complete the declarations on the **Needs attention** tab.

## Declaration: Privacy policy

Enter information about your app’s privacy policy. Make sure to link to your app’s privacy policy. Don’t enter the link to the Salesforce privacy policy.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-branded_apps_exp_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/cf85363c-215e-4784-bb6a-c5c83c4e7140/images/icon_note.png)

Note Google requires that your app’s privacy policy contains specific information about your app and is linked from your app. See [Set Up Your Android App for Google’s Privacy Policy Requirements](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.branded_apps_privacy_policy_android.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

## Declaration: App access

Enter information about how Google reviewers can access your Mobile Publisher app, including your app’s log-in instructions and details. See [Update Test User Credentials](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.branded_apps_exp_android_user_cred.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

## Declaration: Data safety

Enter information about how your app collects data. To learn about the baseline disclosures for your Mobile Publisher Android app, see the [Google Data Safety](https://salesforce.quip.com/NUt1Ah0Q8ibl) reference for Mobile Publisher apps.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-branded_apps_exp_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/cf85363c-215e-4784-bb6a-c5c83c4e7140/images/icon_note.png)

Note If your app doesn’t collect any data from your users, select **Device or other IDs** in the Data safety declaration, and use the [Google Data Safety](https://salesforce.quip.com/NUt1Ah0Q8ibl) reference for Mobile Publisher apps to answer the questions.

For instructions on filling out the Data safety form, see [Provide information for Google Play’s Data safety section](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10787469) in the Google Play Console Help.

## Declaration: Financial and Health App features

If you created your Mobile Publisher Android app before August 2023, make sure to return to the Google Play console and complete both your app’s Financial features declaration as well as your Health Apps declaration (announced in April 2024). See [Complete and submit the declaration](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/13849271#complete) in the Google Play Console Help. Google now requires all apps to have the Health App declaration completed.

Note The Health Apps declaration requirement applies to both public and private distribution.

Important To publish your Android app on Google Play, make sure to also complete the declarations for Ads, Content rating, Target audience, News apps, COVID-19 contact tracing and status apps, and Government apps. See the Google [Play Console Help](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/).
