Google removes the AnTuTu Benchmark app from the Play Store, over an alleged misunderstanding.
Following last month, Google has removed almost 600 apps from its Play Store for violating of in-app Google ad policies.
Most of these apps were reportedly removed due to fraudulent and disruptive in-app advertisements. 
This week, popular benchmarking app Antutu was removed from the Play Store, allegedly over a misunderstanding and also for their supposed connection with Cheetah Mobile, which results in removing the AnTuTu Benchmark app from the Play Store.
Also, the apps removed from the Google Play Store include AnTuTu Benchmark, AnTuTu 3DBench, and AITuTu Benchmark.
If you search for any AnTuTu's apps on the google play store which show; 
"We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server."
The reason for Google removing Antutu’s apps was unclear at first, but it appeared that a relationship with Cheetah Mobile was the culprit. Recently, Google pulled all of Cheetah Mobile’s apps from the Play Store following years of repeated policy violations.
As first reported by the Android Police,
 In an archived version of AnTuTu’s Privacy Policy, Cheetah Mobile has been called the “data controller with regard to any personal information collected from users.” This Privacy Policy has been dated to October 10th, 2018, but the webpage was last cached as recently as on December 13th, 2019. As per the same document, “A “data controller” is an entity that determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal information is processed.”As of December 26th, 2019, the Privacy Policy was updated and Cheetah Mobile was replaced with “Antutu Technology Co., Ltd.” In contrast, however, the Privacy Policy button in AnTuTu Benchmark’s Play Store (latest archived) listing still directs to a webpage on Cheetah Mobile’s website.
 However, this statement goes interesting but Antutu has a completely independent developer account and doesn’t promote any of Cheetah’s apps despite Cheetah Mobile owning some shares in Antutu. The company’s CEO, Zhao Chen, also explains that Antutu purchased legal services from Cheetah Mobile, using a privacy policy link that traced back to the company.
When Android Police asked about the exact reason behind google removing of AnTuTu Benchmark app from the Play Store, the company emailed his statement, 
Here’s the full statement sent to Android Police:
We received a notification email from Google on March 7th informing us that AnTuTu was one of the related publisher accounts of Cheetah Mobile, all AnTuTu apps were removed from the Play Store. But in fact, We think there is some misunderstanding about it. Antutu is NOT the related account of Cheetah Mobile!!AnTuTu was founded in 2011, even before Cheetah Mobile, and is one of the earliest Google Play developers. Cheetah Mobile invested in us in around 2014 and became one of our shareholders since then. However, we still retain a considerable account of shares and Independent operation of the company as well as our own independent Google Play account. Cheetah Mobile has never touched our Google Play account, and AnTuTu has NOT done any promotion of Cheetah Mobile’s software.We believe that the reason for Google’s misjudgment is that we purchased and used the legal services from Cheetah Mobile, so our privacy policy link used the address of cmcm.com. This is what we are working on, including changing legal supplier. Regarding Fu Sheng being the chairman / manager of Beijing AnTuTu Technology Co., Ltd., this is because of the requirements of the investors. In fact, many Chinese companies have such requirements when investing. When the shares reach a certain percentage, investors will require changes in government registration documents. The company is actually operated by Beijing AnTuTu Technology Co., Ltd. Henan Branch. (https://www.tianyancha.com/company/3222572910), and Fu Sheng does not actually participate in the operation or the management of AnTuTu. Anyway, we have informed the investor Cheetah Mobile asking them to solve these problems caused by them.We hope that Google can examine AnTuTu’s account carefully and finally resolve this misunderstanding as soon as possible.
