Last Updated: June 17, 2026
Your privacy matters. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. PicksDb is an all-sport social and creator platform—users discuss NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NCAA, MLS, UFC/MMA, boxing, and more. We are not affiliated with any league or team and do not claim ownership of league trademarks.
This Policy is not legal advice. It does not list every law that may apply to you. For regulated or high-risk processing, consult qualified counsel.
Trust & Safety: Encryption in transit • Access controls • Monitoring • We don't sell personal data • Payments handled securely by licensed partners; we don't store full bank details
High-level overview of our privacy practices:
Public rooms are public. When you create or post in a public (global) live chat, a public thread, or a public post, the content is visible to every PicksDb user, may be surfaced on Browse → Chat, and may be shown on the host's profile (including as archived "past" rooms once ended). Anyone in the community can view, screenshot, quote, or report public content. Use a private DM or invite-only / subscriber-only room if you need a smaller audience.
Picks Marketplace. When you subscribe to a creator on the Picks Marketplace we process limited transaction metadata (tier, creator, price, billing period, payment reference identifiers, status) so we can grant you access and manage billing. Payment credentials are handled by our payment partners, and (for in-app purchases on mobile) by Apple or Google under their respective privacy notices. PicksDb does not store full card numbers, CVVs, or bank account numbers. Subscriptions buy access to creator content and opinions only — not bets, prizes, or guaranteed returns.
PicksDb processes account and content data when you post or chat about any sport, including professional and college football (NFL, NCAA), baseball (MLB), basketball (NBA, WNBA, NCAA), hockey (NHL), soccer (MLS, international), combat sports (UFC/MMA, boxing), and other categories.
No league affiliation or ownership. PicksDb LLC is not affiliated with the NFL, NFL Properties LLC, MLB, the NBA, NHL, NCAA, FIFA, MLS, UFC, Zuffa/TKO, or any team or promotion. We do not own NFL®, MLB®, NBA®, NHL®, UFC®, or other league marks. Schedules, stats, and names may be shown from public information for community discussion only.
Complete list of data we process:
Why we collect and process your data:
We do NOT sell your personal data to third parties.
We may share limited data with:
We never share your personal data for marketing purposes without your consent.
Important Note: Communications sent through our platform are NOT private or encrypted. We may access, monitor, and store all communications for safety, moderation, and legal compliance.
How payments are processed securely:
Many card checkouts and creator payouts flow through licensed payment partners. We do not store full payment card numbers or full bank account numbers on our servers. Partners process personal data under their own agreements. We receive limited information (e.g., reference identifiers, payment status, dispute status) to operate the Service.
Disputes and chargebacks. If you or your bank opens a dispute or chargeback related to a payment, the payment partner and/or card network may share claim details with us. We use that information to investigate and respond where permitted. Outcomes are governed by partner and network rules, as described in our Terms of Service.
Some purchases are billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Those platforms process payment data and handle refund requests under their own terms (e.g., Apple Media Services Terms; Google Play terms for your region). PicksDb LLC does not receive your full card number from Apple or Google for those purchases.
When you operate or purchase from a Creator Shop on PicksDb, we process additional data to operate checkout, enforce shop policies, and protect buyers.
We do not sell shop purchase data to third parties. We share limited transaction metadata with payment partners to process payments and resolve disputes. Creators who misrepresent products or violate affiliate rules may be permanently banned and reported as described in our Terms of Service — Creator Shop sections.
Creators must provide clear disclosures to fans when content includes affiliate links (#ad, paid link, commission earned) as required by FTC guidelines and applicable law. PicksDb may display platform-level notices that Amazon purchases happen on Amazon and that creators may earn commission from Amazon — not from PicksDb. PicksDb is not your employer or Amazon Associates agent; your relationship with Amazon is solely between you and Amazon.
How we process data to keep PicksDb safe:
To enforce policies and keep the platform safe, we collect and process:
We aim to review user reports and take action on violating content within 24 hours where practicable. Human moderators may review automated flags. We may monitor, review, and store communications for safety, moderation, legal compliance, and abuse prevention. We may share data with law enforcement when we believe it is necessary to address credible threats, illegal activity, or as required by law. We retain moderation data as long as necessary for safety, typically up to 12 months after account closure.
PicksDb is not a mental health provider or crisis service. Chats and posts are for entertainment and community only. If you are in crisis or may harm yourself or others, contact emergency or crisis services immediately—do not rely on PicksDb for help.
If you are in the United States, consider contacting:
How PicksDb handles concerning content. If we become aware of content suggesting self-harm, suicide, threats of violence, severe harassment, or exploitation—through user reports, automated signals, or other means—we may remove content, restrict accounts, preserve records, and contact or cooperate with law enforcement or crisis responders where permitted by law and where we believe it is necessary to protect safety. We do not guarantee that we will identify every harmful message or respond in real time.
Reporting in the app. Use in-app Report and Block on posts, comments, messages, and profiles. For urgent safety issues you may also email support@picksdb.com with “Urgent safety” in the subject line. We are not a substitute for 911 or 988.
Depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. Peer chat on PicksDb is not therapy. If you are struggling with mental health, please reach out to a qualified professional or one of the crisis resources above. We may remove content that promotes self-harm or encourages others to harm themselves.
What we avoid storing:
We do not store full payment card numbers, full bank account details, government ID numbers (except as necessary for creator onboarding via payment partners), biometric data, or data from proprietary league or promotion databases without authorization. If future features require sensitive data, we will provide clear notice and obtain appropriate consent.
You may discuss teams, athletes, and leagues on PicksDb, but you must not use the platform to infringe third-party intellectual property or publicity rights. If you post league logos, clips, or claims of official status without authorization, you—not PicksDb LLC—are responsible for that use. We may remove content in response to valid rights-holder complaints. Contact: support@picksdb.com.
Protecting minors and honoring local laws:
PicksDb is NOT directed to children under 18. We do NOT knowingly collect personal information from users under 18. We require users to be 18+ to create accounts. If we discover that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it immediately and terminate the account.
We apply age restrictions (18+) and may use coarse location (e.g., region/country) to comply with applicable laws and to disable features that could be construed as wagering. We do not provide a sportsbook or prize contests. We may adjust features by jurisdiction where required.
Contract, legitimate interests, legal obligations, consent:
Cross‑border processing and safeguards:
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where applicable, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as contractual clauses) for cross‑border transfers.
Third‑party onboarding, payouts, and tax information:
If you enable creator features and payouts, payment onboarding (including bank account and identity verification) is handled by our third‑party payment partner. PicksDb does not store your full bank details. The payment partner processes payout and tax information subject to its own terms and privacy policy. We may receive limited status information to operate creator features.
