After Incorporate Zoom Video Android SDK within Our Android application.  
Our app has been rejected in the Google play market。

The information is as follows：  
Because the following data access disclosures could not be verified

IMEI from READ\_PHONE\_STATE permission  
Subscription information from READ\_PHONE\_STATE permission  
Phone Number from READ\_PHONE\_STATE permission  
Bluetooth from BLUETOOTH/BLUETOOTH\_ADMIN permission

Disclosure in the app must be just before displaying a dialog requesting user consent.

No personal or sensitive information may be accessed or collected before user consent.  
Therefore, I would like PAGD to confirm when and for what purpose you are accessing the above data?

After that I will make a PRD on user consent refer to it.

Thanks,

Why zoom-video-sdk-android need READ\_PHONE\_STATE& BLUETOOTH permission? This is not reasonable.

Hi gutongtong819,

Thank you for your post,  
Here are some reasons to answer to your questions.

**BLUETOOTH/BLUETOOTH\_ADMIN**  
Required to connect and use Bluetooth audio device on Android 12

**PHONE STATE**  
When connected to a Bluetooth audio device and there is a phone call that happens when a Video SDK session is ongoing, the phone call will occupy the Bluetooth device and not give us back when the call ends. This permission allows us to reconnect to the Bluetooth audio device when the phone call ends.

Hope this helps.  
Regards,

Hi @yosuke.sawamura  
About PHONE STATE  
Do we need to requesting the permissions on runtime ？  
At present, the permissions only in manifest . not granted.

Hi gutongtong819,

You will need to grant permission if you are going have the user successfully work with the scenario.

Yosuke

Hi @gutongtong819, have your team got approved by Google Play? My team and I have the same issue with “Phone number from READ\_PHONE\_STATE permission” prominent disclosure. Should we request READ\_PHONE\_STATE permission at runtime ?
