Privacy Policy

Effective October 26, 2026

Pickavor helps people choose restaurants alone or with a group. This policy explains what information Pickavor uses, why it is used, and the choices available to you.

Information Pickavor uses

• Location: With your permission, Pickavor uses your current or selected location to find nearby restaurants. Precise location is used for the search you request and is not sold.
• Profile and account information: Pickavor may store your display name, an anonymous or permanent Firebase user identifier, and Sign in with Apple information that Apple makes available to the app.
• Group-pick information: Invite codes, participant names, readiness, filters, restaurant choices, and votes are stored so a group pick can remain synchronized.
• Purchases: Apple processes Pickavor Plus purchases. Pickavor receives purchase and entitlement status, but not your payment-card details.
• Advertising information: The free version may use Google AdMob to show non-personalized ads. Google and its partners may process information such as IP address, device and app information, ad interactions, and diagnostics to deliver, secure, measure, and limit ads.

How information is used

Information is used to provide restaurant searches, run solo and group picks, maintain optional accounts, restore purchases, prevent abuse, troubleshoot the service, comply with legal obligations, and support advertising in the free version.

Services that process information

Pickavor uses Apple services including MapKit, Sign in with Apple, and StoreKit; Google Firebase for authentication and synchronized group data; and Google AdMob for advertising and consent management. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies, including Google's Privacy Policy and Apple's Privacy Policy.

Advertising and privacy choices

Pickavor requests consent where required before requesting ads. It does not request Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission and is configured to request non-personalized ads. Where applicable, you can revisit your choices from Settings > Ad Privacy Choices. Pickavor Plus users do not see ads.

Sharing and sale

Pickavor does not sell your personal information. Information is shared only with service providers needed to operate the app, with other participants as part of a group pick, when you direct the app to share an invitation, or when required by law.

Retention and deletion

Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the service. Signed-in users can delete their Pickavor account from the app's account settings. You may also contact us to request access to or deletion of information associated with you.

Children

Pickavor is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes

This policy may be updated as Pickavor changes. The effective date above will be revised when material changes are made.
