Privacy

Updated November 10, 2026. Picked is provided by Frequent & Vigorous LLC.

Your private library

Your private library, edits and practice settings are not uploaded to our sharing service. You can use the app without creating an account.

What we read on our server

When you read the tab from a video or screenshot, Picked sends it to our server. Anthropic, our service provider, reads the tab from it, only to provide this feature. The video or screenshot is deleted once your tab is ready. PDFs are read on your phone and never uploaded.

Optional public sharing

Publishing uploads the tab, its title and creator credit, and any recording you choose to include. A public profile includes the name, handle, photo, bio and links you provide. Anyone with a public link can view or save that content. Publish only material you have permission to share.

You can revoke links under Settings → My public links and delete your profile under Settings → My profile. Deleting a profile removes its profile and attached public tabs from our service. It does not delete your private library. Copies previously saved by other people are outside our control.

Backups

Backups go to the Files or iCloud location you select. Picked does not operate a separate private-library backup server. Apple and your chosen storage provider handle those files under their own privacy terms. Delete backup files separately if you no longer want them.

Purchases

Apple handles subscriptions and payment information. Picked reads Apple’s verified purchase status on your device to enable Pro. We do not receive your payment card number. Your free import allowance is stored on the device.

Safety and service operation

Reports include the public content identifier, selected reason and any details you enter. Please do not include sensitive personal information. We use reports to investigate content and enforce our sharing rules. Public-service requests are processed by our hosting provider; temporary rate limits use a daily hash of the requesting IP address. We retain published content until you remove it, and may retain limited security, deletion and moderation records to prevent abuse.

No advertising tracking

We do not sell your data, use advertising trackers, or use your private imports to train transcription models.
