Overview
SpyPlates is an offline license plate collection app developed by GVX Digital LLC. This Privacy Policy describes what data the app accesses and how it is used.
Short version: SpyPlates stores your mission progress locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded, shared, or transmitted to any server. We do not collect personal information.
Data Stored on Your Device
SpyPlates stores the following data locally on your device using Apple's on-device storage (AsyncStorage):
- Agent callsign — the name you choose when setting up the app. Not tied to your real identity.
- Collection progress — the list of U.S. states you have confirmed.
- Mission history — records of completed or abandoned missions with dates and scores.
- Achievements — which feats and achievements you have earned and when.
- Settings — your gameplay and display preferences.
This data never leaves your device.
Microphone & Speech Recognition
SpyPlates requests microphone and speech recognition permissions to power the optional Voice Capture feature. Voice Capture listens for spoken U.S. state names such as "I Spy Iowa" and logs the matching state to your collection.
SpyPlates does not store, record, upload, sell, or share any audio. Voice processing is handled entirely by Apple's on-device speech recognition framework. You may deny these permissions — Voice Capture will be unavailable, but all other features remain fully functional.
What SpyPlates Does Not Collect
- No real name, email address, or contact information
- No location or GPS data
- No device identifiers (IDFA, IDFV, or similar)
- No analytics or usage telemetry transmitted off-device
- No advertising identifiers
- No crash reports transmitted off-device
- No payment information
Third-Party Services
SpyPlates does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, cloud storage, or social login services.
When you choose to export your mission data, SpyPlates uses the native iOS Share Sheet. That sharing action is initiated by you and governed by the operating system and the app you share to — not by SpyPlates.
Data Deletion
You can delete all SpyPlates data at any time:
- Open SpyPlates and tap Control / Settings
- Tap Clear All Data and confirm
Uninstalling the app removes all associated data from your device.
Children's Privacy
SpyPlates does not collect any information from users of any age. The app is appropriate for all ages.
Disclaimer
SpyPlates is not affiliated with any DMV, state agency, motor vehicle authority, or license plate manufacturer.
