In my app I have implemented Firebase Analytics to collect events. Tw days ago I received e-mail from Google that my app is investigated because of policy privacy. Here's the message :
Your app is using the XXX SDK, which is uploading user’s installed packages information without a prominent disclosure.
I checked and the SDK that adds permission :
<receiver
android:name="com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurementInstallReferrerReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
android:permission="android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
is Firebase Analytics. Unfortunately Google doesn't want to help me by providing info how can I solve this which is strange cause Firebase is Google product , right ? So my question is : how can I remove this permission without removing Firebase , and second - do you think that if I update my privacy policy with specific info about Firebase it will be enough ?
Thanks in advance for helping :)
