The data safety section is the part of a Google Play listing where a developer declares what data an Android app collects, what it shares with other companies and how that data is protected. For casino apps it's the Android counterpart to Apple's privacy label and worth a minute before you tap install.
The data safety section sits on every Google Play listing and is completed by the developer.
It separates data shared with other companies from data the app collects.
It also says whether data is encrypted in transit and whether you can ask for deletion.
All five partner Android apps state encryption in transit and that deletion can be requested.
Declarations vary a lot between operators, so compare them with the iPhone privacy label.

What the data safety section is
Scroll down any app's page on Google Play and you'll reach a box headed Data safety. It's a short declaration by the developer covering three things: data passed to other companies, data the app gathers, and the security measures around it.
Casino apps hold more personal information than a typical game, because UK operators must verify your age and identity and process payments. That makes the data safety section a useful first filter. It pairs naturally with the privacy label Apple uses and with app permissions, and you'll find all three in our casino app glossary.

Both should be present for an app holding payment details
The words 'may' and 'optional' appear often. 'May share location' means the app can do so in some circumstances, not that it always does. Where something is optional, you can usually refuse it in your phone's settings or when the app asks.
Casino app data safety sections compared
Here is how the Android listings of our five partners read at the last check in October 2026. Each one states that data is encrypted in transit and that you can request deletion.
Data safety declarations on five UK casino apps for Android
The lighter entries deserve a second look. PlayOJO's Android section says no data is collected, yet its iPhone label lists identifiers used to track you. Coral's Android section was reported as declaring nothing collected, while its iPhone label lists location, financial info and more. These gaps may reflect how each store defines its terms, but they're a good reason to read the Ladbrokes Google Play listing (opens in a new tab) or any other one yourself rather than rely on a summary.
How to check a data safety section
Find the app on Google Play by its exact listed name and developer.
Scroll to Data safety and tap to open the full details.
Read the shared list first, then the collected list.
Confirm encryption in transit and the deletion option are both shown.
Compare with the App Store privacy label if the operator also has an iPhone app.
Why the data safety section matters for gambling apps
Google lets licensed real-money gambling apps onto Google Play in the UK, but only under its real-money gambling policy (opens in a new tab), which requires a valid licence, age gating and geo-restriction. The data safety section adds a privacy layer on top: it tells you what happens to the information those checks need.
It won't tell you how long data is stored or name the companies receiving it. For that, follow the privacy policy link from the listing. Our page on cookies and tracking in casino apps covers the website side too.
Related data safety terms
Other useful entries include Play Protect, Google's built-in app scanner, and geolocation, which explains why location appears on so many casino app listings.

Frequently asked questions
What does the data safety section on Google Play show?
It shows what data an Android app shares with other companies, what data it collects, and its security practices, such as encryption in transit and whether you can ask for your data to be deleted. The developer fills it in, and Google displays it on the listing. For a casino app, it's a quick way to see whether financial info or location are involved. Our Android casino app guide shows where it sits on the page.
Is the data safety section the same as Apple's privacy label?
They do a similar job but aren't identical. Apple groups data by whether it's used to track you or linked to you, while Google separates shared data from collected data and adds security practices. Because each is completed separately, the same operator's two entries can read differently. Our privacy label definition explains the Apple version in full.
Why does a casino app say no data collected?
That is the developer's declaration under Google's definitions, which may treat some data handling differently from Apple's label. Licensed casino apps still need your identity and payment details to let you play, so a 'no data collected' entry doesn't mean the operator holds nothing about you. Read the privacy policy linked from the listing for the full picture, and see how casino apps use your data.
Can I ask a casino app to delete my data?
All five of our partner Android listings state that you can request deletion. Bear in mind that operators may need to keep some records to meet legal duties, so deletion may not be immediate or complete. Closing your account is usually the first step. Our guides on closing a casino account and deleting a casino app explain the difference.
Should I avoid apps that share financial info?
Not necessarily. Payment processing and fraud checks often involve passing some financial details to payment providers, so 'financial info shared' is common in real-money apps. 10bet's Android listing, for example, declares financial info as shared. What matters is whether the operator is licensed and whether you're comfortable with its policy. Our are casino apps safe guide covers the wider checks worth making.
