# Privacy Policy — Medication Reminder
**Effective date:** 17 June 2026
**Last updated:** 17 June 2026
Medication Reminder ("the App", "we", "us") is built to be **private by design**.
This Privacy Policy explains what information the App handles, how it is used,
and your choices. By using the App you agree to this policy.
**App developer / data controller:** Medication Reminder
**Contact:** support@medicationreminder.app
---
## 1. The short version
- We do **not** collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data.
- The App works **fully offline** and requires **no account or login**.
- Everything you enter is stored **only on your device**.
- There are **no ads, no analytics, and no third-party trackers**.
---
## 2. Information we collect
**We do not collect any personal information.** The App contains no analytics
SDKs, no advertising SDKs, no crash-reporting services, and no third-party code
that gathers or transmits your data.
The content you create in the App — including medication names, types, dosages,
notes, schedules, reminder settings, and dose history (taken / skipped / missed)
— is stored **locally on your device** using an on-device database (SQLite) and
your device's local app-settings storage. This information is never sent to us
or to any third party.
We do not collect device identifiers, location, contacts, advertising IDs, or
usage analytics.
---
## 3. How your information is used
Your locally stored data is used solely to provide the App's features on your
device: showing reminders, displaying your dashboard and timeline, calculating
adherence statistics, and keeping your medication history.
Processing happens entirely on your device. We have no servers and never receive
your data.
---
## 4. Permissions and why they are used
- **Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS):** to display medication reminders.
- **Exact alarms (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM / USE_EXACT_ALARM):** to deliver
reminders at the exact scheduled dose time (a time-critical function).
- **Vibration (VIBRATE):** optional vibration when a reminder fires.
- **Run after restart (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED):** to re-schedule your reminders
after the device reboots so you don't miss a dose.
These permissions are used only to provide on-device reminder functionality.
They are **not** used to collect, profile, or transmit information.
---
## 5. Data sharing and disclosure
We do **not** share, sell, rent, or disclose your data to anyone. The App has no
servers, no cloud storage, and makes no network requests with your medication
data.
**Export feature (user-initiated):** If you choose to export your history, the
App creates a CSV file and opens your device's standard share sheet so you can
send it where you wish (for example, to your doctor or family). What happens to
an exported file after you share it is under your control and outside this App.
---
## 6. Data storage and security
Your data is stored locally within the App's private storage area on your device
and is protected by your device's operating-system sandboxing and any
device-level security you have enabled (screen lock, encryption). Because we
never transmit or store your data off-device, there is no server-side data that
could be breached.
---
## 7. Data retention and deletion
Your data remains on your device until you delete it. You can permanently erase
**all** App data at any time:
- In the App: **Settings → Reset app data**, or
- By uninstalling the App from your device.
Because all data is local, uninstalling removes it completely.
---
## 8. Children's privacy
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including
children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). As
the App collects no data at all, no personal information from children is
gathered.
---
## 9. Your rights (GDPR / CCPA and similar)
Because we do not collect or hold any of your personal data, there is no data on
our side to access, correct, port, or delete. You retain full control of the
data on your device and can view, edit, or erase it at any time within the App.
If you have questions about your rights, contact us at the email below.
---
## 10. International users
The App functions the same everywhere and transfers no data across borders
(there are no network transfers at all). Your data simply stays on your device.
---
## 11. Medical disclaimer
Medication Reminder is a personal reminder and tracking tool. It does **not**
provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for
professional medical guidance. Always follow the instructions of your healthcare
provider and pharmacist. Never rely solely on the App for critical medication
timing. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services.
---
## 12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date
above reflects the latest version, which will be provided with the App and at
its published policy URL. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes
acceptance of the revised policy.
