Questions about Privacy

Can I buy a Google Play developer account?

Not legitimately. Google has no feature to sell or transfer ownership of a developer account. A “sale” is really handing over the login to a personal Google identity — which you can never truly own, and which Google can freeze the moment re-verification does not match the person operating it. The supported route is Google’s official app transfer, which moves a listing rather than an account.

Why is selling a developer account a bad idea?

Because there's no clean way to do it. Selling means sharing a full Google login — Gmail, Photos, Contacts and more. Even deleted data can be recovered, and the original owner can reclaim the account at any time, taking your apps with them.

Does deleting my data make it safe to sell my account?

No. Google's account-recovery and data-retention systems mean traces can be recovered after deletion. Selling exposes your private life to a stranger and never fully transfers control. If you want the account to earn without giving it away, keep ownership and work with a publishing partner instead — see how Android app ad revenue sharing works.
