Effective 2 October 2026
Privacy Policy
NextPick uses only the information it needs to make the app work, keep it reliable, and support you. We do not sell your personal data. The free version may show ads; Pro stays ad-free.
The short version
- To help you choose: the words and options you enter, the results you receive, and items you like or hide.
- To keep your account working: your sign-in details, preferences, and purchase status.
- When you contact us: your message and the basic app details needed to help.
- To keep NextPick safe and reliable: limited diagnostic, usage, and security information.
- For ads in the free version: limited device, app, consent, and ad-interaction information used to show and measure ads.
If you choose to find places near you and allow location access, we use your device’s location to suggest nearby places. You can type an area instead and change location access in your device settings.
This information comes from you, your sign-in provider, your app store, or the app as you use it. An IP address is also processed as part of ordinary internet traffic and service protection.
Why we use it
We process this information to provide the service you request, for our legitimate interests in keeping NextPick secure and improving it, and with consent where the law requires consent. NextPick does not make legal or similarly significant decisions about you.
Trusted service providers help with sign-in, secure hosting, recommendations, maps, purchases, diagnostics, and support. They receive only the information needed for their part of the service and may process it in other countries using appropriate legal safeguards.
Food & Drink and Explore map content is covered by the Google Privacy Policy and Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service.
How long we keep information
We keep account information while your account is active. Saved choices, preferences, and recommendation history have storage limits. Older entries may be removed as new activity is saved.
Temporary results, diagnostics, security records, and support copies are kept only as long as needed to provide and protect the service, resolve a request, or meet a legal obligation. They then expire or are deleted under their normal retention schedules.
Your choices and rights
You can remove items from Likes or Not My Type, delete feedback, or permanently delete your account in the app. If advertising privacy choices are required where you live, you can reopen them from Profile > Account > Ad Privacy Choices. If you no longer have the app, use the account deletion page.
Depending on where you live, you may ask to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of your personal data. You may also withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. UK users can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. Email us to exercise a right.
Children
NextPick is not directed to children under 13. You must also meet the minimum age required for your Google or Apple account in your country.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the app changes. We will update the effective date and provide additional notice when a change materially affects your rights.
