What PlateRate does
PlateRate lets you photograph license plates, rate them, and browse ratings. The app uses AI to extract plate numbers from photos.
Data storage
All ratings, photos, and plate data are stored locally on your device. PlateRate does not have a backend server. We cannot access your data.
Camera and photo library
PlateRate requests access to your device camera and photo library to capture license plate photos. These photos are processed on-device and through the Anthropic API for plate number extraction. Photos are not uploaded to any server owned by PlateRate.
Third-party services
PlateRate sends license plate photos to the Anthropic API for text extraction (reading the plate number from the image). Anthropic's privacy policy governs their handling of this data. No other third-party services are used.
