Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage

The app encourages or directs users to allow the app to access the camera. Specifically, the app directs the user to grant permission in the following way(s):

Permission requests give users control of their personal information. It is important to respect their decision about how their data is used.

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, please revise the permission request process in the app to not ask the user to reconsider denying permission and not redirect users to the Settings app after they deny permission.

If necessary, you may provide more information about why you are requesting permission before the request appears. If the user is trying to use a feature in the app that won't function without access to the camera and location, you may include a notification to inform the user and provide a link to the Settings app.

Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage

5.1.1(ii) Permission Apps that collect user or usage data must secure user consent for the collection, even if such data is considered to be anonymous at the time of or immediately following collection. Paid functionality must not be dependent on or require a user to grant access to this data. Apps must also provide the customer with an easily accessible and understandable way to withdraw consent. Ensure your purpose strings clearly and completely describe your use of the data. Apps that collect data for a legitimate interest without consent by relying on the terms of the European Union’s GeneralData Protection Regulation ("GDPR") or similar statute must comply with all terms of that law.
