Google says that its effort is to keep updating its policy and improve review process.
The company also said that in the year 2023 it will adopt more privacy-friendly approach for ads. Google is preparing to bring a technology, which it calls Privateness Sandbox. In this technology, the privacy of users on online platforms is safe. Google said that privacy sandbox will initially be rolled out as beta on some Android devices. Privacy sandbox mainly helps companies and developers and helps them to make digital businesses.
Significantly, in the last few years in India, the scope of loan apps has increased rapidly. Many loan apps cheat them in the name of giving loans to their customers. There have been cases of harassment of customers, in which money is collected from customers as well as their families. Google’s actions should be expected to reduce such cases.
