• "No" option was removed since mid March (see details in comments), so the suggested solution doesn't work anymore.

Solution (does NOT work since mid March)

• Upload app binary without sensitive permissions inside, i.e. remove their usage from the app.
• Submit this version with "No" selected for Compliance Status at "Permissions Declaration Form". Note: at this stage you will see the warning "You must meet the permissions policy..."
• For the next version all warnings will disappear as soon as app will be submitted. Hence, on the next app upload -- no warning and forms will be appread.

P.S. Unfortunately, there was no options found how to avoid the form at all without app version release.
