Compliance

Both stores require information on age ratings, data practices, and content. BLOCQ suggests the most likely appropriate answers based on your active modules – you must actively confirm each section.

Platform-dependent

Only the sections for the selected platforms are shown: for iOS the Apple age rating and Privacy Labels, for Android the content rating and Data Safety. For an Android-only app the Apple age rating is omitted – there the content rating (IARC) handles the age assessment.

Important liability notice

The suggested answers are based on the modules active in your app and are intended as guidance only. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the information submitted to the stores. Review each section carefully before confirming. Incorrect information can lead to rejection or removal of the app.

Age Rating (Apple)

Apple calculates your app’s age rating automatically based on a questionnaire. BLOCQ fills in this questionnaire based on your active modules and submits it automatically.

• No active user content (e.g. only static content): Age rating 4+
• User-generated content (Feed, Forum, Chat): typically 12+ or 17+
• In-app purchases: the appropriate flag is set

Submitted automatically

The Apple age rating is submitted directly to App Store Connect via API – you don’t need to enter anything manually in ASC.

Apple Privacy Labels

Apple requires detailed information about what data your app collects and how it is used.

1. The wizard shows you a suggestion based on your active modules
2. Review each data type (e.g. name, email, usage behavior)
3. Confirm or adjust each section
4. Tap “Confirm Apple Privacy Labels”

Data Category	Possible Source
Name, Email	Profile, Members, Membership module, Firebase Auth
Location data	only modules with real device location (Time Tracking, Services)
Purchases / Financial info	Shop, Orders, Payments, In-App Purchase, Pricing
User content	Feed, Forum, Chat, Blog, Wiki, Gallery, etc.
Device IDs	Notifications (FCM token)

Suggestions follow actual behavior

The mapping was tightened: a membership or loyalty-card module does not trigger “digital purchases” (no in-app payment), and a maps module that only displays addresses does not count as location collection. Location is only declared when a module actually reads the device location.

Google Data Safety

Google Play requires a similar declaration about data collection and sharing.

1. The wizard shows you a suggestion based on your active modules
2. Review the information on data collection, data sharing, and security measures
3. Confirm each section
4. Tap “Confirm Google Data Safety”

Manual step in the Play Console

Google Data Safety may need to be finalized manually in the Play Console after the first publish. The wizard prepares all the necessary information for you.

---

Content Rating (Google Play)

Google Play runs a separate content rating process.

1. The wizard answers the IARC questionnaire based on your active modules
2. You see the resulting rating (e.g. PEGI 3, PEGI 12)
3. Confirm the rating

Confirmation per Section

Each compliance area has its own confirmation button. All sections of the selected platforms must be confirmed before “Continue” works – otherwise a “Confirmations missing” hint appears.

Section	Platform	Status
Apple Age Rating	iOS	Submitted via API
Apple Privacy Labels	iOS	Active confirmation required
Google Content Rating	Android	Active confirmation required
Google Data Safety	Android	Active confirmation required
