EU Trader Compliance Shield

Help indie devs comply with Google Play's public contact info rule without doxxing themselves

Problem

Google Play now requires individual developers classified as traders in the EU/UK to publicly display their address and phone number or risk removal. Many indie devs don't want to expose their home address and personal number, but don't know what compliant alternatives exist (virtual addresses, forwarding services, legal boundaries).

Solution

A step-by-step compliance wizard: determine trader status, list required disclosures, recommend compliant virtual office address and virtual phone providers, generate copy-paste store listing templates, and offer privacy-minimization tips.

Users

Individual developers and small indie teams publishing apps on Google Play, especially those targeting EU/UK markets.

MVP

An interactive questionnaire to assess trader status; a downloadable compliance checklist and declaration template; affiliate links to virtual address/phone providers; country-specific rules for EEA vs UK.

Revenue

Free basic questionnaire + paid full compliance template pack (one-time purchase); affiliate commissions from virtual address providers.

Why now

Google Play is actively enforcing EU trader information disclosure, affecting a large number of developers who are searching for guidance, and an indie developer can build a targeted tool quickly.
