Effective Date: April 14, 2026
Stick Picks ("we", "our", or "the app") is a cigar recommendation and identification app published by the Stick Picks team. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Account information. When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo as provided by the identity provider. Guest users are assigned an anonymous identifier with no personal information collected.
User-generated content. Cigar photos you scan, humidor entries, journal notes, ratings, reviews, and quiz responses are stored in your account.
Device information. We collect basic device metadata (OS version, device model) for crash reporting and compatibility. We do not collect location data.
Purchase information. Subscription transactions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We receive a purchase confirmation but never see your payment details.
Photos you take with the Scan a Stick feature are uploaded to our servers for identification. These images may be retained in anonymized form to improve our identification models. Images are associated with your user ID for correction and history purposes but are not shared publicly.
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:
Community ratings and reviews you submit are visible to other users. Your display name is shown alongside reviews; your email is never displayed.
Your data is retained as long as your account is active. You may delete your account at any time from the Profile screen, which permanently removes all associated data including humidor entries, journal entries, scan history, and reviews.
All data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored in secured, access-controlled databases. Authentication tokens are stored securely on your device. We follow industry-standard practices to protect your information.
Stick Picks is intended for users aged 21 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 21. If we learn that a user is under 21, we will delete their account and associated data.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time. To delete your account and all associated data:
California residents and EU users have additional rights under CCPA and GDPR respectively.
Surgeon General's Warning
Cigar smoking can cause cancers of the mouth and throat, even if you do not inhale. Cigar smoking can cause lung cancer and heart disease. Tobacco use increases the risk of infertility, stillbirth, and low birth weight. Cigars are not a safe alternative to cigarettes.
Stick Picks is a reference and identification tool only. We do not sell, distribute, or promote tobacco products and we make no health claims about any cigar. By using this app you acknowledge that smoking carries significant health risks and that you assume all responsibility for any health consequences arising from your use of tobacco. Stick Picks and its developer expressly disclaim all liability for any illness, injury, or other harm related to tobacco use.
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the app. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
