I've just received this message from Google Play but I'm not collecting the Advertising ID.
Reason for warning: Violation of Usage of Android Advertising ID
policy and section 4.8 of the Developer Distribution Agreement
Google Play requires developers to provide a valid privacy policy when
the app requests or handles sensitive user or device information.
We’ve identified that your app collects and transmits the Android
advertising ID, which is subject to a privacy policy requirement.
Is it possible any of my dependicies uses it? Here's the list of dependencies:

You are using crashlytics below 2.9.3. Apparently it's collecting and sending the google advertising id as a key in their header. That might be the or one of the issues.
You can check if it's sending the advertising id through a proxy like Charles.

Today many of developers are getting this same issue.
I also got this issue. I didn't collect any sensitive data, even I am not showing ad to my users. In your case crashlytics lib can be an issue. It is dealing with advertising ID.
In the mail they mention the required action
Action required: Add a privacy policy to your store listing and app
So I think all of us we should add privacy policy on store listing as well as on app. Before taking the action we should go through the related privacy policy.
Here are some links from where you can get help:
Privacy policy to upload an app
Usage of Android Advertising ID
Developer Distribution Agreement
Developer Program Policies

Google Play Services version 4.0 introduced new APIs and an ID for use by advertising and analytics providers.
We need to provide a privacy statement and make it available on the web.

How do you know it has to do with GPS 4.0+? How is that connected to the advertising ID violation?

Today many of developers are getting this same issue.
I also got this issue. I didn't collect any sensitive data, even I am not showing ad to my users. In your case crashlytics lib can be an issue. It is dealing with advertising ID.
In the mail they mention the required action
Action required: Add a privacy policy to your store listing and app
So I think all of us we should add privacy policy on store listing as well as on app. Before taking the action we should go through the related privacy policy.
Here are some links from where you can get help:
Privacy policy to upload an app
Usage of Android Advertising ID
Developer Distribution Agreement
Developer Program Policies
