Google wants to give Android users more insight into how their smartphone apps use their personal data.

In a blog post published Thursday, the tech giant wrote that a new security section within Google Play would provide more transparency into the data that apps collect and share.

Google said the new security section would require developers to disclose what kind of data is collected and stored in their apps and how that data is used (i.e. for app functionality or personalization). The company said examples of personal data include the user's location, photos and videos, personal information, contacts and more.

All apps on the Google Play Store, including Google apps, will have to share their data details under the new policy. The company said developers or apps that do not provide accurate information will have to fix it and/or be subject to enforcement of the policy.
