Description

@dattd38

Photos and videos on a user’s device are considered Personal and Sensitive User Data and should be treated with utmost privacy best practices. This sensitive information leaves users vulnerable to leaks or targets of exploitation, so minimizing this access helps avoid the burden on developers of handling such sensitive data. To further support protecting users’ privacy, we introduced policy to limit the scope of how broad access to photos and videos can be acquired on Google Play. Only apps with a need for broad access to photos will be allowed to maintain the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions. Apps with a one-time or limited use of photo and video files are requested to use a system picker such as the Android photo picker.
