Deleting your account and scrubbing your personal data from a mobile app is often frustrating at best and impossible at worst. Google wants to improve that. Bethel Otuteye, senior director of Android App Safety, explained in a blog post Wednesday that the Google Play store’s new data deletion policy will give users more control over their in-app data.
Developers of Android apps that enable account creation will soon have to provide an option to initiate account and data deletion from within the app and online as well.
