Revise the data safety policy in the Google Play Console.

To empower users with greater control over their data, we introduced a new account deletion requirement earlier this year. We're reaching out to inform you that your app currently lacks a compliant account deletion section in the Data safety form.

Part A

How to Generate a User Account Deletion Link

There are two scenarios to consider:

A. If your school has a custom domain mapped to the Learnyst platform (e.g., www.abc.com)

B. If your school does not have a custom domain and uses the Learnyst domain (e.g., abc.learnyst.com)


A. Steps for Schools with a Custom Domain

  1. Login to the Learnyst Admin Dashboard

  2. Navigate to "Website & Apps"

  3. Navigate to "Website"
    3-May-30-2024-11-32-34-1336-AM

    5-May-30-2024-11-39-22-6693-AM
  5. Generate the User Account Deletion Link

    • Example User account Deletion link: https://example.learnyst.com/learn/account/delete-account

    • Replace example.learnyst.com with your custom domain.

      For instance, if your custom domain is www.abc.com, the link will be:

      https://www.abc.com/learn/account/delete-account

    Note: Do not modify or add any extra characters or symbols.

  6. Store the Link

    This data deletion link you will be using to Add it to the Data Safety form in Google Play Console.

B. Steps for Schools Using the Learnyst Domain

  1. Login to the Learnyst Admin Dashboard

    1-May-30-2024-11-30-35-3984-AM
  2. Locate Your Platform URL: You can find your platform URL in the URL box or search box. Copy this URL.


    2-May-30-2024-11-42-28-9167-AM
  3. Copy the Platform URL

     

    3-May-30-2024-11-43-20-9551-AM
    • Ensure you copy only the URL without any extra characters or symbols.

      For example, copy the URL as follows:

      raju-166251.learnyst.com

     

  4. Generate the User Account Deletion Link

    • Example link: https://example.learnyst.com/learn/account/delete-account

    • Replace raju-166251.learnyst.com with your Learnyst platform domain.

      For instance, if your Learnyst platform domain is raju-166251.learnyst.com, then the link generated will be:

      https://raju-166251.learnyst.com/learn/account/delete-account

    Note: Do not modify or add any extra characters or symbols.

    Use this data deletion link to add it to the Data Safety form in Google Play Console.
