Privacy Policy
This is a draft privacy policy for the Picklecut iPhone app and picklecut.com. Items marked [confirm] must be checked against the app's actual data practices (and its App Store privacy labels) before publication.
Picklecut is made by Akaru Labs LLC ("Akaru Labs," "we," "us," or "our"). This policy explains what information the Picklecut app and website collect, how it is used, and the choices you have.
Summary
- Picklecut is designed to process your match videos on your device. [confirm: no video is uploaded to our servers]
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not use your videos for advertising.
Information the app accesses
Camera and microphone. If you record a match in Picklecut, the app asks for permission to use your camera [confirm: and microphone]. Recordings are used only to create your highlight clips.
Photo library. If you choose to import a video or save clips, the app asks for access to your photo library. Picklecut only accesses the videos you select or the clips you choose to save. [confirm limited vs. full library access]
Video processing. Rally detection and clip creation are performed on your iPhone [confirm on-device processing; describe any cloud processing if used]. Your videos and clips are stored on your device and in your photo library, under your control.
Information we may collect
Diagnostics and usage. We may collect limited, non-identifying diagnostics (such as crash reports and basic app performance data) to fix bugs and improve the app. [confirm whether collected, which provider, and whether it is linked to you]
Purchases. If the app offers in-app purchases or subscriptions, payments are handled by Apple. We do not receive your payment card details. [confirm whether purchases exist and any provider used to manage them]
Support and beta requests. If you email us — for support or to join the beta — we receive your email address and the contents of your message, and use them to respond. If you join a beta through TestFlight, Apple may share information with us as described in Apple's TestFlight terms.
Website. Our hosting provider may process basic technical information (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver and secure picklecut.com. [confirm whether any analytics or cookies are used on the website]
How we use information
- To provide the app's features, such as detecting rallies and creating clips.
- To respond to support requests and beta inquiries.
- To diagnose problems and improve the app.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. When you share a clip, you choose where it goes using the iPhone share sheet; content shared to other apps or services is subject to their privacy policies. We may use service providers (for example, for crash reporting or email) who process information on our behalf. [confirm list of service providers] We may disclose information if required by law.
Data retention
Videos and clips stay on your device until you delete them. Support emails are kept as long as needed to help you and for reasonable record-keeping. [confirm retention periods for any diagnostics or server-side data]
Your choices and rights
- You can change camera, microphone, and photo library permissions at any time in iPhone Settings.
- You can delete clips in the app, and deleting the app removes app data stored on your device.
- Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To make a request, email hello@akarulabs.com.
Children's privacy
Picklecut is not directed to children under 13 [confirm age threshold and App Store age rating], and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information. Because your videos are processed and stored on your device, your device's own security settings (such as a passcode) also help protect them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, provide notice in the app or on this page.
