Privacy policy
No account, payment details, advertising tags, or analytics scripts are required to use Pickup Radar.
Last updated October 30, 2026. This notice describes the current website and its installed home-screen version.
What stays on your device
Your saved searches, last search area, dark-mode preference and animation setting use your browser’s local storage. Saved searches include the phones and location you choose. They are not synchronized to an account. They remain until you delete them, clear site data or your browser removes them.
Use a city or postal code; you do not need to enter your home address. Pickup Radar does not request GPS access.
Clearing device data does not revoke browser notification permission. You can change that permission or remove the installed app in your browser or device settings.
What leaves your device
| Request | What is processed |
|---|---|
| Location suggestions | The text you type and selected country are sent to our server. US ZIP codes are resolved against our bundled GeoNames dataset without contacting an external location service. City names and other countries’ postal codes are sent to Photon. We may offer a clearly labelled Apple Store location if that service is unavailable. |
| Stock checks | Your selected country, product identifiers and the postal codes or cities of stores in your search area are sent through our server to Apple. |
| Pages and media | Our hosting infrastructure receives ordinary connection information such as IP address, requested URL and browser information. Most product media is served by this site; a regional catalog may supply an image directly from Apple. |
| Links to Apple | Apple receives your visit when you follow an external link. Apple’s own privacy and purchase terms then apply. |
Location suggestions may be cached for up to 24 hours. Identical stock checks may reuse a response for up to 30 seconds. These caches support the lookup service; they are not advertising profiles. We do not maintain an application database of individual search histories.
Hosting providers may retain operational and security logs under their own policies. The application does not set their retention periods. Providers may process requests outside your country.
Cookies, advertising and notifications
The application does not set advertising cookies or load Google Ads, AdSense, Google Analytics, tracking pixels or personalized-ad scripts. Hosting security or an existing platform session may use cookies separately.
Stock notifications require your browser’s permission. This version checks while the page is open and visible; it does not run an email list or an off-site push subscription service. Notification content is generated from the stock checks on this device.
If advertising is introduced, this notice and the required privacy controls must be updated before those technologies run.
