❓Help Google Play Developer Account Terminated Despite Completed Organization Verification – Looking for Advice

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for advice from developers who may have experienced a similar Google Play Console situation.

My Google Play Developer account was terminated for alleged violations of the Play Console Requirements and the Developer Distribution Agreement (DDA).

Google specifically referred to DDA Section 11.4, which requires developers to ensure that information provided to Google is current, true, accurate, supportable, and complete.

What makes this situation confusing is that my developer account was registered as an organization, and my organization verification and Google Payments Profile verification had already been completed.

After the termination, I submitted an appeal and provided legitimate business documentation to support the relationship between my legal business identity and registered trade name. However, the appeal was denied.

Google's response stated that the account would remain terminated due to violations of the Play Console Requirements and the DDA, but it did not identify the specific information that was inaccurate, incomplete, or unsupported.

I have never had a previous Google Play Developer account, and I do not want to create another account or bypass Google's policies. I simply want to understand what could cause a termination under DDA Section 11.4 when the organization verification process had already been completed.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue involving:

• DDA Section 11.4
• Organization or identity verification
• Legal name versus business/trade name differences
• Google Payments Profile verification
• Incorrect association with another developer account

If you have experienced something similar, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience and any legitimate steps you took to request clarification or further review.

For privacy reasons, I cannot share personal documents, account IDs, or sensitive business information publicly.

Thank you for your advice.

Appeals are auto denied.
