Almost everybody with a vehicle for sale covers the plate if they are smart.
I remove the plate to display the vehicle like a dealer does. Removing the plate also displays bumper-fade (or lack of it) when applicable.
The license plate is one's most publicly displayed information. I can't worry about such things. I wouldn't get through life if worrying about that. If you look at my internet pictures of our motorhome, you will see our licence plates in a few of them. I never checked, but it is conceivable you might also get a glimpse of our house number, maybe even the street sign at the corner in a picture here or there. I could go nuts over such matters, so much that I would turn into an internet recluse, lurking only in the shadows instead of living life.
We had a friend in her latest years. She refused to tell us her age. She also never touched a computer. I said I could find out a lot about her in less than 15 minutes, including her age. She was shocked how much data about her was out there for the world to read. A similar outcome with my elderly uncle. That was some years ago when there was more free internet look-up tools. Those great tools I used then are now pay-for-use.
