Privacy notice
Google sign-in
Google verifies your identity. PlateWar stores your Google account identifier, verified email, nickname and session records, not your Google password. We do not request access to Gmail, contacts or Drive. Records are stored separately from Upcar and other products.
Guests and device drafts
Guests use an essential browser cookie with a 30-day session. Signing out, clearing cookies or session expiry loses guest access; a nickname cannot recover it. Vehicle drafts may also be stored in this browser. Linking Google preserves saved cars; overflow in an existing account remains as recoverable designs. Signing out does not delete server records or device drafts.
Cars and public parking
We store vehicle settings, uploaded artwork, compressed previews, parking and likes. First parking publishes the nickname, appearance and plate for guests and signed-in players to browse. Email is not public. Leaving only releases the space; it does not delete a car or revoke published previews. Later saves update the public car. Avoid private information in public artwork.
Providers and test data
Google provides sign-in verification. Cloudflare runs the app, database and file storage. Essential cookies identify sessions; security logs help diagnose problems and prevent abuse. Paid advertising uses Stripe or Airwallex through shared ZoomNice merchant configuration. We store order identifiers, amounts, statuses and provider references, not full card numbers. The legacy wallet is a separate simulation without real deposits or withdrawals.
