How to fill Data Safety form in App Content section in Play Console when using AdMob only?

PlayStore requires Data safety form submission for all apps and violation of it can cause problem. Below is example of what to fill in the form when you use only Admob. This setting is because i use it in my apps and i only use AdMob SDK for ads.


Open Play console & login.

 

All Apps -> Select an app -> Policy  -> App Content -> Data Safety

Is all of the user data collected by your app encrypted in transit?
