Data privacy is becoming more and more important by the day, especially because of the apps we use for various purposes. Tech giant Google will now no longer show permissions it automatically gets from the apps on the Google Play Store. This will give developers control over what information they want to disclose to users about the kind of data they collect. 

Developers have time till July 20 to fill out a data privacy form for their apps, and they "alone" must make "complete and accurate declarations" for their apps.

Google said when it becomes aware of a discrepancy between "your app behaviour and your declaration, it may take appropriate action, including enforcement action".
