Google Play adds a restriction on using certain data for ads personalisation

A new sentence says certain data must not be used for ads personalisation or ads measurement, nor be linked to personally identifiable information or other device identifiers such as the Android advertising ID. The diff does not show which data this refers to, as the preceding context is not included. It reads as a limit on Google's own use of that data.
