APK REQUIRES VALID PRIVACY POLICY AND PROMINENT DISCLOSURE

I have received this email from Google console in a beta release. I have been using Firebase since 2017, and until now it have not be a problem.

Your app is uploading users' Installed Packages information to https://app-measurement.com without a prominent disclosure. Make sure to also post a privacy policy in both the designated field in the Play Developer Console and from within the Play distributed app itself.

What could I do, based on your experience?

I've received the same message from the Google Play store three days ago. I've done a little digging as I was interested in the app-measurement.com (which returns 404 when visited).

The domain is registered by MarkMonitor Inc. and is using Google name servers. It's mentioned as Google Analytics helper here.

Anyway I've updated the Firebase libs and submit the next update which was marked as 'fine' by Google Play.

implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:21.4.0")
implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-config:19.1.1")
implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:19.1.1")

For me the the Privacy policy was not mentioned, so maybe add this as well (I'm already having mine).
