I didn't realise privacy policies are an actual requirement in an app? I sometimes provide a basic one if I remember, but only as a courtesy to users. Comments Fair enough.

Absentia buzztouch Evangelist Posts: 960 Reg: Oct 20, 2011 Alaska 20,600	02/19/13 04:10 PM (12 years ago) Facebook started requiring this a while ago - I just found a privacy policy template somewhere online and linked to it on my website. I got the impression that if I didn't comply, they would remove my app from Facebook... Here's the link to one of them - http://www.pixobit.com/skyrimquizprivacypolicy/ - feel free to copy and paste it if you want. You will obviously just want to replace all occurrences of "Pixobit Mobile" and "Quiz - Skyrim Edition" Comments Facebook started requiring this a while ago - I just found a privacy policy template somewhere online and linked to it on my website.

I just added the privacy policy url to the App Details paged and saved but didn't "Submit App Detail Page" because requires lots of other info do to do so. Did you?

I'm not really Facebook savvy so I don't know the exact benefit of doing it, but I figure it at least adds to the cool factor to have your app appear in Facebook app searches Comments For a couple of my more popular apps I did, but you don't have to...it is kind of a pain designing all of those banners and icons.

AppOne buzztouch Evangelist Posts: 348 Reg: Apr 03, 2012 London 13,980	02/19/13 04:51 PM (12 years ago) oh good to know - that's what I was worried about - because when you save the Apps Details page it says it is saved but also says it is "Unsubmitted" at the the top - and facebook doesn't provide any feedback to say the problem is resolved. Thanks Comments oh good to know - that's what I was worried about - because when you save the Apps Details page it says it is saved but also says it is "Unsubmitted" at the the top - and facebook doesn't provide any feedback to say the problem is resolved.
