🎯 Squad Pick — Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 6, 2026 · Contact: macfbob@gmail.com

The short version: Squad Pick has no server and no account database. Everything you enter — your profile, squads, chats, memories, photos, and API keys — is stored only in your own browser on your own device. We cannot see it, and we do not collect, sell, or share it.

1. Information the app stores (on your device only)

When you use Squad Pick, the following information is saved in your browser's local storage on your device: your name, email address, age, gender, interests, budget and activity preferences, city, squad names and member names you enter, chat messages, polls, hangout memories (including photos and notes you add), settings, and any API keys or payment links you paste into Settings. This data never leaves your device unless you use one of the third-party features described below, and it is deleted if you use "Erase everything" in Settings or clear your browser data.

2. Information we (the developer) collect

None. Squad Pick has no backend server operated by us, no account system, and no analytics service enabled. We do not receive, store, or have access to any of your personal information.

3. Third-party services you can choose to enable

Google Maps & Places (optional): if you add a Google Maps API key and use Discover, your approximate location and place searches are sent to Google to show nearby places. Google's Privacy Policy applies.
Claude AI by Anthropic (optional): if you add a Claude API key, your prompts (such as squad preferences and @ai chat messages) are sent to Anthropic to generate suggestions. Anthropic's Privacy Policy applies.
Payments (optional): Pro purchases are processed entirely by Stripe, PayPal, or Cash App on their own pages. We never see or store your card number or payment credentials. Their privacy policies apply.
Contact picker (optional): if you tap "Add from contacts," your device shows its own contact picker and shares only the specific contacts you select, one time. Squad Pick does not read, upload, or store your contact list.
Hosting: the app is served by GitHub Pages, which may log standard technical data (such as IP addresses) as described in GitHub's Privacy Statement.

4. Children's privacy

Squad Pick is not directed to children under 13, and users must be 13 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the app, contact us and note that all data can be removed instantly via Settings → "Erase everything" on the device.

5. Do Not Track

Squad Pick does not track users across websites or over time, so it responds to all browsers the same way regardless of Do Not Track settings: no tracking.

6. Your choices and rights

Because all data lives on your device, you have direct control: view it any time in the app, export it with Settings → Backup, and delete all of it with Settings → "Erase everything." California residents (CCPA/CPRA) and EU/UK residents (GDPR): we do not collect, sell, or share your personal information, so there is nothing for us to disclose, delete, or opt you out of — deletion is entirely in your hands on your device.

7. Changes to this policy

If the app ever adds features that change how data is handled (for example, shared accounts or analytics), this policy will be updated here first, with a new effective date, before those features go live.
