PlateHunt iPhone App Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy of Ken Flowers for PlateHunt iPhone App and Blog

Ken Flowers creates and distributes the PlateHunt app for the iPhone and runs this blog related to that app. We don't collect any personal data, or any data at all for that matter. We do save your game progress on your personal device, but never take that data off of your personal device. If you don't want that data stored on your device anymore, delete the app. If you are particularly worried that Apple doesn't delete data when you delete the app, you can use a rock, hammer, or similar hard object to knock the data out of it.

Some people may wonder if this app saves the location of your license plate finds. We thought about doing that so you could see your own game history, but didn't wind up doing that. The app does not use location services at all, and doesn't know where you are when you use it.

Service Providers

The app uses Apple's App Store for distribution and runs on Apple's iPhone and iPad devices. Refer to Apple's privacy policies if you want to know what they do.

This blog runs on Blogger. Refer to Blogger's privacy policy if you want to know what they do.

Children's Privacy

It's reasonable to assume that this app will be used by children under the age of 13. We do not collect personal identifiable information from anyone, including children under 13.

Contact Information

If you wish to contact us about this policy, you can send a letter to Ken Flowers, 44 Greenwood St., Lexington, MA 02421.

Bugs and Improvements

Add comments to this post with any bugs you find, or suggestions for improving the game.

Missing Plates

If you think I'm missing a plate, leave a comment on this post with the details.  Even better if you have a picture.  Note, pictures are best if they are flat, don't have a shadow, are well exposed and in sharp focus.  Also, please let me know if I have rights to use the picture in the game.  Also important, if it's not your car, tell me that so I can change the numbers around to not make it a real person's plate.

What State Should I Add Next

Adding state details takes a bit of effort.  I'm adding them in the order that I want.  But, if you are enjoying the game, and you are from a state without details yet, I want to hear from you.  Add a comment to this post on the states you most want added to the game.  Those will push to the top of my list.

Don't hunt and drive!

Welcome to PlateHunt

PlateHunt is the classic road trip game for finding license plates ... but on steroids.  Of course, it lets you track license plates from each of the 50 US states.  And beyond that, it includes Washington DC, all the Canadian provinces, US government plates, and diplomatic plates.  But this is where it gets crazy.  Each state produces dozens of specialty plates, including those honoring veterans, college affiliations, clubs and special causes, and various commercial and government plates.  PlateHunt lets you log those too.

Have fun with the game.  All I ask is that you not play the game while driving.  Let a passenger do the logging.  For that matter, don't text and drive, or read Facebook and drive, or basically use your smartphone while driving.
