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

AI training: reworded✓ Machine-checked

The page now carries short policy summaries and do/don't tables for the user-data sections. The only new substantive rule is a statement that the persistent-identifier requirements also apply to third-party AI integrations, with developers responsible for compliance. Nearly everything else repeats rules already in the old version. The deceptive-behaviour section was only renumbered and lightly reworded.
