Pika Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 5, 2026

Pika does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data.

Specifically:

• No analytics, telemetry, or tracking of any kind
• No internet access — the app never connects to any server, API, or cloud service
• No user accounts, identifiers, or device fingerprints
• File access is limited to files you explicitly provide via the Open Panel or drag-and-drop
• Passwords used to open encrypted archives are held in memory only for the duration of the session and are never written to disk, Keychain, or any persistent storage
• No third-party data sharing — there is nothing to share

Pika is a local tool. Your files stay on your machine.

Third-Party Components

Pika includes the following statically linked open-source libraries:

• libarchive (BSD License) — archive format support
• PLzmaSDK (MIT License / LZMA SDK public domain) — 7z format support
• tree-sitter (MIT License) — source code syntax highlighting

None of these components collect or transmit data.
