What indie game studios should prepare before store review

Most indie teams spend all their time on store screenshots and trailers, then get blocked by the official site and privacy page.

We built review material for three self-developed games. The same issues came up:

1. The store backend needs a public privacy policy URL.
2. Every SDK and permission must match what the game actually does.
3. The site must load over HTTPS and explain who you are within 30 seconds.

Privacy page: five things

• What data is collected and why
• Which permissions are requested and why
• Which third-party SDKs collect data
• How users delete data or close their account
• A working contact email

Store review kit

• Public privacy URL
• Support URL
• Screenshots and icon
• Data safety / permission notes
• Release notes and a test account if needed

No one can guarantee approval. What we can do is make the material match the review requirements.

We put the process into a service page:
