What are the details of this? I've seen how things work on the Chrome Store side, and it's completely haphazard. There isn't an official audit schedule, as far as I can tell, but like with the iOS App Store, they do sometimes decide to flag/remove an extension for completely bogus reasons, with little/no notice: https://medium.com/@BeeLineReader/google-yanked-my-chrome-ex...


As of this year with apps that access the Gmail API it is an official audit by an authorised third party assessor.

That's great. I'd emphasize this both in the privacy policy and in the FAQ. It's not bulletproof, but it goes a long way.
