Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 19, 2026

1. Our Privacy Philosophy

Pickz was built to replace anonymous reviews with trusted advice. Unlike traditional social media, we believe your recommendations should only be seen by the people you actually know—and the people they know. We don’t sell your trust to advertisers.

2. Information We Collect

  • Account Data: Your name and phone number used to verify your identity.
  • Contacts: With your permission, we sync your contacts to identify your "Level 1" friends. We do not store these numbers for marketing purposes.
  • Your Pickz: The recommendations you save, which are shared within your trusted network.

3. The "Hidden by Design" Rule

Your data visibility is strictly limited to:

  • Level 1: Your direct friends.
  • Level 2: Friends of your friends.

Strangers and anonymous users can never see your profile or your recommendations. This is our core privacy promise.

4. Data Deletion

You own your data. You can delete your account and all associated "Pickz" at any time directly through the app settings.
