Google Play Store gets verified marks for VPNs committed to protecting your data


This is a part of Google's new efforts in helping developers build more "trust" with consumers.

As detailed today (Jan 28) in a blog post, Google states the Play Store will soon display a new "Verified" badge on apps that have gone "above and beyond" in user data protection. The post says apps must have an "Organization" account type, meet the Play Store's target API level, and submit a " Data Safety section declaration." In a market where trust is key, this badge not only provides reassurance to customers but also highlights the integrity of developers committed to delivering secure and reliable products."
