Google Play page adds summaries of user-data rules and a note that they cover third-party AI integrations

AI training: reworded✓ Machine-checked

The page adds new policy summary and key-considerations text for existing user-data rules (disclosure and consent, Data safety, account deletion, persistent identifiers, App Set ID, EEA/UK/Swiss data law). The deceptive-behaviour section was only renumbered and lightly reworded. One genuinely new sentence says the persistent-identifier requirements also apply to third-party AI integrations.
