We advise to use GoodBarber template as explained in this online help: Inform about your shop policies
The Privacy policy section is mandatory in your app to comply with Google's rules.

If you already have your own Privacy policy text, compare it with GoodBarber template text and make sure all information related to your app in GoodBarber template (depending on the options / extensions you have set) are reported to your final text, those are mandatory to get your app accepted on Google Play Store.

You need to customize your privacy policy content:
- The app must be named in the text of the privacy policy
- Ensure your privacy policy page is clearly labeled as such in the title 
- Replace all blues content from the template with your own informations
- Provide an email address so your users know how to contact you

It is mandatory that your Privacy policy is accessible for all your users from your app for your app to comply with Google's rules.
It is best to display your shop's policies on the main pages of the app.
