Some choice quotes:

"Google does not sell user data and extension developers may not do this either."

"Prohibiting the use or transfer of user data for creditworthiness or any form of lending qualification and to data brokers or other information resellers."

"The item listing page will also display whether the developer has certified that their extension complies with this new policy."

Calling it certified is a bit misleading since Google is the one auditing, and they are not certifying anything.

Not looking forward to having my extensions updates being arbitrarily prevented from updating and not getting any clear answers from Google about what the actual problems are.

Surprisingly, my last rejection (this week) to the Chrome store did included a concrete reason, addressing that got my update approved.

Besides that, I'm worried on how Google will handle such kind of auditing for independent developers.
