Privacy policy: License Plates
License Plates has no user accounts. What you create in the app stays on your phone unless you choose to share it. The app is free and shows ads through Google AdMob; a one-time purchase removes them. We do not sell personal data.
Who is responsible
The controller of personal data for License Plates is:
- Business name
- Michal Jakubowski
- Address
- Stawy 11-11, 02-467 Warszawa, Poland
- Tax ID (NIP)
- 5261257404

What the app processes
Built-in data
All plate codes, districts, towns and maps are built into the app; lookups happen on your phone and the app makes no network requests of its own. It shows only the district behind a code, never owner or vehicle data.
Your collection and quiz
The codes you mark as spotted, your quiz progress and the chosen country are stored only on your phone (and in your Android backup, if you use it). The collection export goes only where you send it through Android's share menu.
Ads, purchases and Google services
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google processes your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information and how you interact with ads. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent through Google's consent form before any personalised ads are shown; without consent, Google shows only non-personalised or limited ads. You can change your choice at any time in the app: Settings → Privacy options. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings. Google's use of this data is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
US residents
Under some US state privacy laws (for example in California), letting Google use your device's data to show ads based on your activity in other apps and websites can count as “selling” or “sharing” personal data. You can opt out at any time in the app: Settings → Privacy options. After you opt out, Google shows ads with restricted data processing. We do not sell personal data for money.
Purchases (Google Play)
The “Remove ads” purchase is processed by Google Play. We never see your payment details. Google gives us the order number, product, date, country and price, which we keep as long as Polish tax law requires (usually 5 years).
Ratings
The app may occasionally show Google Play's rating prompt. Your rating and review go to Google Play, not to us.
Backups
If Android backup is turned on, Android may back up the app's settings and saved data to your Google account. This is controlled by you in Android settings.
What we do not do
No accounts, no selling of personal data for money, and no analytics or crash reports sent to us from the app.
Your rights and legal details
Legal bases
Personalised ads: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). Purchases: performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) and our tax obligations (Art. 6(1)(c)). Non-personalised ads that fund the free app, and security of our services: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).
Who receives data
Google (Google Ireland Ltd. and Google LLC) for ads, consent, purchases and ratings. Transfers outside the EEA are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
Your rights
You can ask us for access to, correction or deletion of your data, restriction of processing, data portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. You can withdraw consent at any time (Settings → Privacy options) without affecting earlier processing. Most data exists only on your phone: uninstalling the app deletes it. You can also complain to the Polish data protection authority: Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa, uodo.gov.pl.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
