لا خصوصية بعد اليوم في سوق بلاي

  • Ask

منذُ فترة أنشأتُ حساب مطور لي على سوق بلاي وبدأت بنشر بعض التطبيقات البسيطة. أثناء إنشاء الحساب كالعادة زودتُ جوجل بالوثائق الرسمية من هوية شخصية وعنوان حقيقي فعلي ووسيلة دفع (بالمناسبة، استخدمتُ وثائق صديقي، أجنبي الجنسية لأن بلدي يحوي عدة بلدان داخله وكلٍ منها له وثائقه الغير معترف بها). في صفحة كل تطبيق أنشره في قسم الحصول على الدعم (app support) لمحة عن المطور ، أجد اسم المطور مع العنوان الحقيقي الفعلي بأدق التفاصيل - حتى رقم باب الشقة موجود. أي أن أي أحد يزور صفحة التطبيق على المتجر ويطلع على هذه المعلومات، يوجد احتمالية أن أراه أمام باب شقتي في أي لحظة.

ما رأيكم؟

تواصلتُ عدة مرات مع دعم جوجل، وفي كل مرة يصرون على أنها معلومات ضرورية لا غنى عنها.


لا أعلم إذا هذا الأمر في بعض المتاجر فقط، لأنني قمت بالدخول لبعض التطبيقات حاليا و لم يكن هناك أي معلومة على المطور، و لكن بالفعل الأمر خطير هكذا، لكن أعتقد أنه يمكنك استخدام عنوان مكتب بريد أو مكتب خدمات بريدية كعنوان للاتصال بدلا من عنوانك الفعلي.

أنا

My personal residence address is currently displayed in the "About the developer" section on Google Play. While having a business address there would be acceptable, my account is a personal one, and I do not currently operate a business. The address listed is my home address, including specific details like my door number. This raises concerns about privacy, as anyone visiting my app page on Google Play could potentially locate my residence. In order to enhance privacy, I would like to have my address concealed on Google Play, with an exception for cases where there is a legal requirement arising from issues with any of my app installers or customers. In such instances, my address could be disclosed in accordance with court law. Please make the necessary adjustments for privacy and compliance.

Thanks for contacting Google Play Developer Support.

I checked into it and the Play Console doesn’t currently support hiding this feature as this is mandatory to be displayed in the Google Play Store. However, you can change this at the Google Play Console in the Developer account section > Account details tab. Also, we place a high value on developer feedback, and I’ll be sure to pass along your specific feedback to our product team. We’re continually adding new features and functionality, so please stay tuned.

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions about using the Play Console, please let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

Dear Google Play Developer Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I appreciate your prompt response to my previous inquiry. I understand that the address displayed in the "About the developer" section on Google Play is mandatory, but I have concerns about privacy as it reveals my home address.

In light of this, I would like to inquire if it is permissible to use a placeholder or a random address in the Developer account section > Account details tab, instead of my actual residence. This would help address my privacy concerns while still complying with the platform's requirements.

I value your assistance and understand the importance of maintaining transparency. I look forward to your guidance on this matter and appreciate your ongoing support.

Our policy requires displaying contact information in the Google Play store for users to reach you. You can edit the information and replace it with more general details for your convenience.

If your contact details, developer name, or physical address changes, make sure to update your information in Play Console. Only the account owner can change the developer profile settings and the information you provide must comply with Google Play's Developer Program Policies.

I hope this message finds you well. I appreciate your previous assistance and guidance on managing information in the Play Console.

I have a concern regarding the display of a physical address associated with my Google Play Developer account. As you know, my current physical address is connected to my payment profile, and it has been verified by Google during the account creation process.

In light of privacy considerations, I am interested in understanding whether it is possible to use a more general address, omitting specific details such as street and door numbers, without risking any account-related issues. I am hesitant to make changes that may result in any adverse actions, and I want to ensure compliance with Google Play's policies.

Additionally, I have observed that some developers on Google Play have addresses that do not appear prominently on the app listing page. Could you provide insights into this, and if applicable, guide me on how I can achieve similar privacy measures for my account?

Your clarification on these matters is crucial for me to make informed decisions, and I appreciate your time and assistance in this regard.

As much as I'd like to help, I’m not able to provide any more detail or a better answer to your question. In our previous email, I made sure to include all the information available to me.

If you have a different question about the Play Developer Console, please let me know.

بصراحة لا أعلم كيف يكون الأمر على هذا النحو في البلاي ستور؟!! أعتقد أن ما تشتكي أنت منه من أبسط حقوق السرية والخصوصية فكيف لا يحفظونها؟! أعتقد ن عليهم أن يضيفوا خصائص أخرى أو إضافات أخرى تمكنك من إخفاء بياناتك في القريب العاجل.
