Question: Which type of image can you include in your Google Play store listing without submission of documented permission?

  • Photos of exotic wildlife that you personally took during your last vacation
  • Photos taken from a public figure or social-media account that you like to follow
  • The team logo of a college sports team that you want to use for a sports gaming app
  • The cover art of an old record of your favorite band that you purchased years ago

Explanation

Google Play’s Intellectual Property policy allows use of content when the developer owns the rights or has documented permission. Original photos created by the developer do not require third-party copyright authorization for the store listing. The listing must still avoid misleading presentation or unauthorized use of protected brands, people, or media. This keeps store listing assets compliant because the image rights are controlled by the developer.

Why the other options are incorrect

Social-media photo Public availability does not grant permission to reuse copyrighted content.

College team logo A sports team logo is protected intellectual property and requires authorization.

Record cover art Purchasing a physical or digital copy does not grant rights to reuse the artwork in a store listing.
