com.pangle.global:crash_monitor flagged for "Apps On Device" data access by Google Play

[ruiyong-lee]

Hi team,

We recently received the following warning from Google Play Console after submitting our app using AdMob mediation:

Version code 10100: Policy Declaration - Data Safety Section: App Activity Data Type - Apps On Device, Possible SDKs: com.pangle.global:crash_monitor

We are using the Pangle SDK only via AdMob mediation, and we do not collect or access a list of installed apps in our codebase.

We would like clarification on the following:

Why is com.pangle.global:crash_monitor associated with the "Apps On Device" data type?
Does it collect or infer the list of installed apps in any way?
Is there any official documentation or privacy declaration about what crash_monitor module collects?
If this module is unnecessary for our use case, is there any supported method to disable or exclude it safely, while still using Pangle via AdMob mediation?

This issue is critical for our compliance with Google Play’s data safety policies, so we’d appreciate any clarification or guidance.

Thanks in advance!
