为什么 Chrome 网上商店要求我在我的商店页面上公开提供电子邮件地址和实际地址?

Why is the Chrome Web Store asking me to give out an email address and physical address publicly on my store page?

我很好奇是否还有其他人在开发人员仪表板上突出显示了这些选项。自 9 月以来,我一直在维护一个扩展程序,该扩展程序管理选项卡并且不收集任何信息。

在开发人员仪表板上以黄色突出显示:

Please provide the following information: Physical Address Privacy Policy To ensure a more transparent and positive experience for users, the email address, physical address, and link to your privacy policy that you provide in the developer dashboard will be displayed publicly on your item details page(s) in the Chrome Web Store.

Please provide a current, valid postal address where you may be contacted. If you offer items or in-app purchase items for sale, you may be required to provide a postal address under our developer terms and consumer protection laws; failure to do so may result in the suspension of your account and/or sales of your items. Please ensure that you keep these details up to date if they change. By providing your email or postal address information, you consent to Google publicly displaying or disclosing that information in connection with your items. Learn more

我的扩展程序会在 30 天后提示用户捐款,但可以将其禁用。制定隐私政策是一回事,但我根本没有可以提供的非个人地址。 Google 好像把我当成生意了

注意通知中的关键词:"If you offer items or in-app purchase items for sale"。我认为这意味着如果您有一个免费的扩展程序和一个包含 "Donate" 按钮的应用程序,并且您是个人而不是公司,那么您不需要提供您的地址。

编辑:这看起来类似于德国 Impressum 法。无论如何,在我的情况下它看起来不是强制性的。

自 2014 年 9 月 30 日起。Google 已经更改了有关付费应用开发者的政策。从那天开始打开开发者控制台的每个开发者都会收到一条消息,说明必须在帐户设置中添加实际地址。此更改将主要影响分发付费应用或允许应用内购买的开发人员。

更新 - 在询问 Google 发生了什么事后收到了这封电子邮件。

Hi Jason,

In accordance with consumer protection laws and current industry best practices, starting on 3/9/2016 we are implementing a number of changes to product listings in the Chrome Web Store. These changes will ensure a more transparent and positive experience for users. Changes include: As a developer, you must provide a valid email and physical business address where users can contact you directly. The email address and physical business addresses will be displayed on your product details page(s) on the Storefront.

All products that offer in-app purchases to users and/or subscription-based products will have a price range (highest and lowest price) displayed on the ’s product details page in the Chrome Web Store.

You can add an email address and physical business by logging into your developer account in the Chrome Web Store developer dashboard (link). Please comply within 30 days of receiving a notification on the developer dashboard. If any of your products offer in-app purchases or are subscription based, please go to your developer account to review the prices and publishing status.”

他们似乎从我的帐户中删除了 post 我的地址的选项,所以他们发送这封电子邮件令人费解。
