By using the Service, You agree to such automatically requested and received updates.
    3. Malware Protection. To protect against the effects of malicious third-party software, information about the Applications (including self-hosted Applications) that You distribute to Your End Users, including the source of the Application and the Application itself, may be sent to Google. Google will use the information to compare against a database of known malware to determine if the Application is harmful or likely to be unsafe. Google may warn You if it considers the Application to be unsafe, or block its installation to Your End Users if it is known to Google to be harmful to devices, data or users.
    4. Geographic Restrictions. Developers may place geographic limitations on where Applications can be distributed to Your End Users. You agree to only distribute a given Application to End Users that are physically located in a country which the developer of the Application has approved as a country of distribution.
