PUBG Mobile new policy for India: What is the new privacy policy for Indian players?

PUBG Mobile, which is amongst the biggest mobile gaming apps around the world, has taken an initiative to change its privacy policy for India. This action is a result of the recent bans taking place on many Chinese apps in India. The Ministry of Home Affairs has banned over 106 Chinese apps to date and currently has a list of around 275 China-based apps that reportedly have a chance of being banned in the country.

The Player Unknown's BattleGround is reportedly amongst the list of 275 Chinese apps being monitored by the central government. This is the reason why many players and users of this China-based mobile game app are wondering "is PUBG Mobile going to be banned in India?" However, the PUBG Mobile new policy for India would change things for the organisation in the country.
