Hi Theis,
Thanks for your patience.
Status of app: Suspended from Google Play due to policy violation
I’ve reviewed your appeal request and found that your app, Lost Android (com.androidlost, App Bundle Version: 175), still violates Google Play Policy.
During review, we found that your app violates the Stalkerware of the Malware policy. We don't allow apps with any code that could put a user, a user’s data, or a device at risk. If your app was developed by a third party, we recommend contacting them to verify that they designed your app to comply with our policies.
You can read through the Malware policy page for more details and examples of common violations.
For example, your app currently contains stalkerware code that collects and/or transmits personal or sensitive user data from a device without adequate notice or consent and doesn't display a persistent notification that this is happening.
Please note that suspensions count as strikes against the good standing of your Google Play Developer account. Egregious or multiple policy violations can result in suspension, as can repeated app rejections or removals.
If your developer credentials are still in good standing with Google Play and if your app allows for it, you can publish a new compliant version of the app by following these steps:

If your developer credentials are still in good standing with Google Play and if your app allows for it, you can publish a new compliant version of the app by following these steps:
- Make the necessary changes to your app to address the issue described above, if possible.
- Double check that your app complies with all other policies listed in the Developer Policy Center as additional enforcement could occur if there are further policy violations.
- Sign in to Play Console and upload a new app using a new package name and a new app name.
