EU/UK Android Devs need to put phone number on Play Store Listing
support.google.com8 points2 comments
Google Play requires every active developer account worldwide to declare whether it qualifies as a trader under European Economic Area and UK laws by February 1, 2027; new accounts must declare when created. A trader is a person or organization acting for business or professional purposes. Factors that may indicate trader status include regularly earning or seeking revenue from apps, frequent transactions, operating as a business, or having a commercial legal status. Developers who do not distribute in the EEA or UK may declare as non-traders, but declarations must be accurate and kept current. False claims of non-trader status can lead to global removal or account suspension, while missing the deadline can result in blocked updates or app removal.
Developers declare status in Play Console at the account level, and traders must also confirm it for each app, certify compliance with applicable laws, and provide terms-of-service links. Individual-account traders must supply a contact phone number, and their address will be public. From March 1, 2027, trader contact details, D-U-N-S number, and any supplied terms link will appear on Play Store listings worldwide; individual traders’ phone numbers and addresses will be displayed. EEA and UK users will additionally see the developer or trader name and the compliance commitment. The declaration is separate from identity verification, and Google says developers are responsible for determining their own legal status.
