what information is provided to app developers through google checkout?

[sharky12]

When I buy an app from the Android Market on my phone, what personal information is provided to the app developer (eg. my name, address, email address, etc)? I am not referring to information provided through app permissions. I refer to information provided through Google Checkout when I buy an app.

Also, if I buy from the Android Market on the web, is there any difference in the information that is provided to the developer?

Thanks,

Google Checkout provides developers the following:

- Your first and last name as they appear on your credit card*
- Your City
- Your State/Province
- Your Postal Zip code
- Whether or not you have opted-in to email marketing (default is "no" I think)
- An auto-generated email address to contact you

Example: if your name was John Smith, Google checkout generates an email like:

John-dfg459sle920@checkout.google.com

This will forward to your real eamil through Google. That way devs dont have your real email, but can contact you if they need to.

*(if it's carrier billing or a pre-paid card this info may not show)
