I don't recall that last week it said postal address. It looks like they updated it and added more language to that section in Settings. AND it mentions the address requirement that is in the developer terms so I clicked on that link and did search on address and that word is not even in

As one of the developers whose software was pirated a couple years back (wondered where all those millions of dollars went) Google provided my address to the FBI who sent the same letter than they emailed me and a pamphlet about their anti-piracy activities. DHS should have no problem

Rent a post office box near where you live. Then call it a suite in your address. You can pick up the mail once a week. Not a big deal. I completely agree about the privacy issue with using your home address. I wouldn't use my home address, nor my private email address. Mark On Sep 17, 2014

Not just a blatant privacy violation. They're putting developers' lives at risk. Not every developer lives in relatively safe place like the US, or Western Europe. The world is larger than that, and there are places where criminal activity is relatively high. It's quite easy for someone to do

It has to be a PHYSICAL ADDRESS no PO BOXES and I can't find out were to add the address I don't see a place in settings to add an address. Of course you could use your local post offices address and just put C/O General Delivery On Sep 19, 2014 5:21 PM, Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com wrote:

Does anyone see a place to add an address in the settings of the Dev Console? If so, can you post a screenshot I can't seem to find it. As far as I can see, there is no field for address in my Dev console settings. On Sep 19, 2014 5:21 PM, Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com wrote: Not just a

The PO Box I meant has a physical address. For example, Mailboxes Etc and many other similar places offer a real street address and suite number. No different than any other business address. I did not mean a box at the Post Office. MBE charges about $13/month for the smallest personal box. There

Completely understand what your are saying Mark. Sorry I misunderstood, I was just stating that per Google(Via Email), I could not use my PO Box I would need to add a home/business address with a street number and name. For me, I will just use my local post offices' address and put C/O General

Dallas, I completely agree. The only reason I can think they want this information is for Homeland Security or something related. When one rents a box at MBE or the PO, one has to show valid id like driver's license or passport or something with a photo. If you app incites riots or takes over an

Mark, You are completely correct, IMO But, what's to stop people from using someone else's address or an abandoned house/buildings address. So, in reality it is doing no good. Most people have DDA and get there payments direct deposited so they have no need to receive paper checks. On top of

I didn't see it either. I think the description is that it will appear by the 30th, so presumably the settings page is going to change and have a physical address space in the next few weeks. After that, I guess anyone can look up where I live and come by and harass me at my home, so, that'll
