Someone received such a letter? What I need to do?
Please help to solve the problem, thank you!
On July 7, we notified you that your app(s) contain a version of an
SDK that allows the collection of personally identifiable information
(PII). When collecting PII, proper disclosure is required for your app
to be compliant with Google Play policy.
If your app does not currently request the GET_ACCOUNTS permission in the app manifest, no further action is required. If you’ve removed this permission from your app manifest, you can sign in to your Developer Console and submit the app again.
If you wish to continue collecting user account data:
You must add a privacy policy URL to your app listing and notify the user their PII is being collected within the app.
Beginning July 18th, we will reject any updates that are not
compliant with the above requirements, but your live app will remain on
Google Play. To allow you time to submit a compliant version, we will
only remove non-compliant apps starting August 8th.
If you’ve reviewed the policy and feel this warning may have been in error, you can contact our developer support team.

I’m using SDKBOX 2.3.1.1 and Google deleted my app with following email
SDKBox
Your app(s) contain a version of SDKBox that allows the collection of personally identifiable information (PII).
If you wish to continue collecting user account data, read through the Personal and Sensitive Information policy and add a privacy policy URL to your Store Listing.
Sorry this happened to your game, we verified with google that SDKBOX should be complaint with their policy, But sometimes the update process somehow didn’t update sdkbox.jar
Can you download the latest sdkbox package and replace sdkbox.jar with the latest version?
