Added admob Ads and now, in Play console i get: "you need a permission - READ_PHONE_STATE"

i dont use any permissions and i dont ask for permissions.
but when i try to put my apk/aab in play console i get the message:

“The APK or Android App Bundle is using authorizations that require a privacy policy: (android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE).”

i went to manifest file but isnt there nothing related to this… so

is any way i can take this off? or disable?
im kinda lost here (and i dont have a policy page)

Do you have admob, unity ads, or iap?
