Privacy Policy

Picket (iOS, the “App”) handles your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Last updated: November 6, 2026

1. Information the App Uses

1-1. Photos

If you allow Photos access, the App reads up to your four latest photos and saves resized images in the widget’s storage on your device. Photos are not sent off your device. The developer cannot see your photos.

1-2. Camera

The camera is used to take photos in the App. Photos you take are saved to the Photos app.

1-3. Settings Saved on Your Device

Layout, photo position and zoom, appearance and language settings are saved only on your device. There are no accounts.

1-4. Purchases

Apple processes Picket Plus purchases. The App checks the purchase status through Apple and does not receive your payment information.

1-5. Ads

If you do not have Picket Plus, the App shows ads through Google AdMob. Google may collect your device’s advertising identifier (only if you allow tracking), IP address and the approximate location estimated from it, data on ads shown and tapped, and crash and performance diagnostics to show and measure ads. If you do not allow tracking, ads are shown without the advertising identifier. You can change the tracking permission at any time in the Settings app.

1-6. Counting Users (Firebase Authentication)

To understand roughly how many people use the App, it uses anonymous authentication from Google’s Firebase Authentication.

On first launch, a random string called an anonymous ID is issued.
This ID is never linked to your email address, name, phone number or other personal information. There is no sign-in screen and no account registration.
The developer can only see aggregate numbers: daily users, monthly users and the total number of IDs issued.
Your photos, what you take and which features you use are not sent.
The anonymous ID is issued per device. Deleting and reinstalling the App gives a different ID.
All features of the App work without a network connection.

1-7. Ad Settings (Firebase Remote Config)

To read how often to show the ad when the App opens, the App uses Google’s Firebase Remote Config. Your device’s country, language, time zone and OS version are sent to Google.

The App does not collect your name, contact details, precise location or browsing history.

2. Purposes of Use

To show your latest photos on the widget and the Lock Screen
To provide features to users who purchase Picket Plus
To show ads to users without Picket Plus
To understand roughly how many people use the App

Except as listed below or as required by law, information is not shared with third parties.

App Store / StoreKit	Apple Inc.	Picket Plus purchases

4. Deleting Data

The App is not directed at children under 13.

6. Changes to This Policy
