How? I don't see the address published.

They can sue you and Google will give your address to the court, clearly. But swat? Send packages? How?

Don’t know about US, but in EU you legally have to publish your address and it will be shown on the store page if your app has ads or in-app purchases.

I see. I looked at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.faircode.em... and saw nothing.

I can see why your address is shown if you offer something for sale. Ads, that puzzles me.

Anyway, ads are just a sidechannel for purchase. There is a product advertised, someone buys it and developer gets the cut from the seller of the product. This is how ads work.

Just in case they're looking in the wrong place (looks like they moved where this information was since I last looked), you have to expand it in the sidebar on the right.

You need to put a literal physical address and not even a PO Box is allowed.
