TL;DR Summary

Google has updated its policy on personal loan apps on Android, banning them from accessing personal data on users' phones, including photos and contacts. The change comes into effect on May 31 and is likely a response to debt collectors using mobile apps to access users' personal contacts to contact friends and family about outstanding debts.
