Data Deletion Instructions: The Requirement Developers Miss
Apps with accounts must offer in-app deletion or a public instructions page linked from the listing. Answer three questions and get both: the hosted-page-ready instructions and the exact text for Play Console's Data Safety deletion field.
Output
Answer the account question to generate the instructions page + the exact Play Console field text.
Why this matters
Data Safety, privacy policy, and deletion instructions form a trio reviewers cross-check: if your policy lists analytics but your deletion page says nothing is kept, expect questions. Because this tool shares the Data Safety intake, the deleted-vs-retained granularity matches your privacy policy by construction — review the trio together before submitting.
Frequently asked questions
When does Google require deletion instructions?
When your app supports account creation, you must provide either an in-app self-service deletion flow or a publicly accessible page with clear deletion instructions, linked from the store listing. Missing it is a documented rejection cause.
My app has no accounts — do I need this?
No. Say so in the tool and it stops there with a note for your records — no page, no Console text, no busywork.
Do I re-enter what data I collect?
No. The tool reuses your reviewed Data Safety profile — collected labels pre-fill the deleted-data list with the same granularity as your privacy policy, so all three documents agree.
What do I get to download?
A hosted-page-ready instructions document plus the exact field text to paste into Play Console's Data Safety deletion question. Free.
