APK Requires Privacy Policy

I am getting the following message when I try to upload my APK to the Google Play Console.  I don't have Admob ads turned on and I am only using the Labels extension.  What in my game could be causing Google to require that I have a privacy policy?

Your APK is using permissions that require a privacy policy: (android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE).

Add a privacy policy.  They are not hard to make if it comes down to that. I have had to make one for every app that I publish on Google Play

Is your Stencyl build older than b9860?

Make a link to the privacy policy in your app or game..  if you use a website.. or just type it out in each one

Rob1221, I am currently on 9845.  Will upgrading remove the requirement to create a privacy policy?

It should.  The reason this happened before is because the built-in extensions Stencyl uses did not state a target SDK version so Android assumes it to be 0.  When targetSdkVersion < 4, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, and READ_PHONE_STATE are always added.

Thanks so much, this worked perfectly.
