Record Picker is designed to keep your music collection private. Your vinyl, CD, and album collection is stored locally on your device.
Collection data
The albums you add, import, edit, favorite, exclude, or draw are stored on your device. This may include album titles, artist names, release information, genres, styles, tags, notes, listening history, cover artwork, and collection metadata.
Record Picker does not operate a user account system and does not upload your collection to a Record Picker server.
Camera and barcode scanning
Record Picker may use the camera to scan barcodes when you choose to add an album this way. Camera images are not stored or shared by Record Picker.
Metadata and cover searches
When you start a metadata or cover search, Record Picker may contact external music metadata services such as MusicBrainz, Cover Art Archive, or Discogs.
These requests may include the search terms or barcode you provide. They are sent only when you explicitly start the lookup.
On-device suggestions
Record Picker may use Apple Intelligence on-device, when available, to suggest albums by mood. When those models are not available, suggestions are calculated locally from metadata, favorites, tags, genres, styles, and recent draws.
Record Picker does not use third-party AI providers and does not send your collection to cloud AI.
Internet reviews
Internet reviews are never scraped automatically. Smart features remain user-initiated or calculated on-device.
Apple Watch companion
If you use the Apple Watch companion app, Record Picker may sync essential collection and draw information between your iPhone and Apple Watch using Apple's device communication features.
Backups, imports, and exports
Record Picker may let you import, export, back up, or restore collection files. These files are created, selected, and managed by you.
Tracking and advertising
Record Picker does not use advertising tracking and does not include third-party advertising SDKs.
