Google has restored the app permissions section to the Play Store after removing it

Google’s Data Safety section, announced in May 2021 and launched in April of this year, is comparable to Apple’s privacy labeling. Developers must inform Google about what they do with users’ data (such as whether it is shared with third parties and what type of data the app gathers) and give additional information, such as whether users can request that their data be erased and whether the data is encrypted. While Google claims that only developers have access to these details, it does state that if it discovers mistakes in the Data Safety information, it will take action against the app.
