Firebase Remote Config: Data safety form answers

If your Android app includes Firebase Remote Config from Google, its data counts as data your app collects. According to the vendor, it collects device or other IDs (collected, not shared: the vendor acts as a service provider).

Matched dependencies: com.google.firebase:firebase-config.

Source

From Google’s own Play data disclosure: firebase.google.com. Checked 2026-10-26.

What to declare

Data type	Collected	Shared	Ephemeral	Purposes
Device or other IDs Via Firebase Installations	Yes	No	No	App functionality

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.

Notes

Sends country code, language code, time zone, OS/platform version, app ID and package name for parameter targeting, and depends on Firebase Installations. With Google Analytics included, user properties and first_open are used for targeting.

The CSV rows this sets

These are the rows of Google’s Data safety CSV that Firebase Remote Config 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.

PSL_DATA_TYPES_IDENTIFIERS,PSL_DEVICE_ID,true
PSL_DATA_USAGE_RESPONSES:PSL_DEVICE_ID:PSL_DATA_USAGE_COLLECTION_AND_SHARING,PSL_DATA_USAGE_ONLY_COLLECTED,true
PSL_DATA_USAGE_RESPONSES:PSL_DEVICE_ID:PSL_DATA_USAGE_EPHEMERAL,,false
PSL_DATA_USAGE_RESPONSES:PSL_DEVICE_ID:DATA_USAGE_COLLECTION_PURPOSE,PSL_APP_FUNCTIONALITY,true

Detect it automatically

data-safety-from-code finds Firebase Remote Config 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.
