Privacy policy: Medication Reminder (working name)

Status: this app is in development and has not been released yet. This policy describes what the app is designed to do, as written in its specification; it will be reviewed again before release.

In short

The app reminds you to take your medicines and keeps a log. It works on your phone only. It has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and it contains no network code. What you enter about your medicines never leaves the phone unless you export it yourself. The app is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition.

What is stored on your phone

In a local database inside the app, all of it entered by you:

• Medicines: name, strength, form, schedule, start and end dates, notes, optional stock, refill and expiry information. Names, strengths and forms are your own text; the app contains no drug information.
• People: the profile "Me" and any other local profiles you add, for example a relative whose medicines you manage on your own phone.
• A log of doses: taken or skipped, with the real time and optional notes, snoozes, and stock changes.
• A record of expected and delivered reminders, which powers the in-app reminder check.
• Your settings: reminder times and behaviour, whether medicine names show in notifications (on by default, one tap to hide), language, theme and app lock options.
• If you use the app lock, a hash of your PIN is kept in the phone's secure storage.

Permissions

• Notifications: asked after you save your first scheduled medicine, so that the app can remind you at the times you set, also when the screen is off.
• Android: exact alarms (a special access you grant on the "Alarms and reminders" page, asked once) so reminders ring at the exact minute; vibrate; boot-completed so reminders return after a restart; fingerprint or biometric for the app lock; optionally a full-screen alarm display, which you grant yourself and which is never assumed. The release build has no internet permission.
• Biometric unlock for the optional app lock.
• The app does not use camera, microphone or location.

Backup and export

You can create a backup file that is encrypted by default with a password of your choice; an unencrypted file is made only after you explicitly choose that. Restoring replaces your data after a confirmation that shows what the backup contains. You can also create a PDF or CSV report of the log for your doctor. Files are shared through the system share sheet and the app sends nothing anywhere itself.

What the app does not do

No advertising, no analytics, no accounts, no network use, no drug information and no interaction checks. Planned App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected.
