AdMob: Data safety form answers
If your Android app includes Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) from Google, its data counts as data your app collects. According to the vendor, it collects and shares approximate location, app interactions, diagnostics, device or other IDs.
Matched dependencies: com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads, com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-lite.
What to declare
Section titled “What to declare”| Data type | Collected | Shared | Ephemeral | Purposes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Approximate location IP address, which may be used to estimate general location |
Yes | Yes | No | Advertising or marketing; Analytics; Fraud prevention, security, and compliance |
| App interactions App launch, taps, video views |
Yes | Yes | No | Advertising or marketing; Analytics; Fraud prevention, security, and compliance |
| Diagnostics App launch time, hang rate, energy usage |
Yes | Yes | No | Advertising or marketing; Analytics; Fraud prevention, security, and compliance |
| Device or other IDs Advertising ID, app set ID, and identifiers of signed-in accounts if applicable |
Yes | Yes | No | Advertising or marketing; Analytics; Fraud prevention, security, and compliance |
Whether each type is required or optional for users depends on your app: optional only if users can turn it off and the app honors that.
All four types are collected and shared automatically for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. Ad ID collection can be stopped via the manifest, and Limited Ads may stop ad ID transmission. The page covers play-services-ads only; ads-lite is assumed to behave the same. Optional features or tests may require extra disclosures.
The CSV rows this sets
Section titled “The CSV rows this sets”These are the rows of Google’s Data safety CSV that AdMob turns to true (or false for the ephemeral question). Columns: question ID, response ID, value. You also answer the required/optional row for each type.

Section titled “Detect it automatically”data-safety-from-code finds AdMob in your build.gradle or version catalog, adds these answers with a link to the source, and merges them with every other SDK and with what your own code sends. You get a CSV to import and a report showing where each answer comes from.
