Privacy Policy

Welcome to Pillbug! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our medication reminder application (the “App”). By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Data Stored Privately (On-Device)

We do not collect or store your medication-related data on our servers. The following information remains private and is stored exclusively on your device:

Medication Schedule and Reminder Data: This includes the names of medications, dosage, frequency, and any other information you input for reminders and logging.
Camera Data: If you use the label scanning feature, image data is processed on-device and is not stored or transmitted.

3. Data We May Collect

We only collect minimal, anonymous information required for the App to function and improve. This data is transmitted to our servers:

Anonymous Usage and Performance Data:
- Anonymous Usage Pattern Logs: We may collect anonymous usage pattern logs for the purpose of improving the app.
- Anonymous Error and Crash Reports: We may collect anonymous error and crash reports for the purpose of fixing defects.
Sharing Features Data:
- When sharing features are used (e.g., Sidekicks), we store anonymous device information for the purpose of relaying messages between users. These messages are anonymous and are not stored once delivered.

4. No Other Data

No other personal or other information is collected.

5. How We Use Your Data

Local Data Storage: Medication and schedule data is stored securely on your device and is not transmitted to external servers.
Functionality: Your data is used solely to provide medication reminders and manage your schedules within the App.
App Improvement and Maintenance: Anonymous usage logs and crash reports are used to improve the user experience and fix technical issues.
Message Delivery: Anonymous device information is used temporarily to relay messages between users when sharing features are active.

6. Health Data

Pillbug allows users to manage medication schedules and track adherence. This includes health-related information such as medication names, timing, and intake history.

This information:

Is stored only on your device
Is used solely to provide app functionality (reminders, tracking, and optional sharing features)
Is never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising
Is not used for commercial benefits

Pillbug does not use your health data for analytics, profiling, or marketing.

Specific features:

If you choose to use sharing features (e.g., Sidekicks), information may be transmitted via standard communication services (such as SMS) or relayed through our service. Relayed messages are anonymous and are not stored once delivered.

No Data Sharing: We do not share, sell, or rent your data to any third parties.
No Commercial Use: No data is used for commercial benefits.
No Third-Party Integration: The App does not integrate with or interact with third-party services for data processing.

8. Your Responsibilities

Accuracy: Ensure the data you input into the App is accurate to receive effective reminders.
Device Security: Protect your device and App access to prevent unauthorized use of your data.

9. Data Security

Local Storage: Your primary medication data is stored locally on your device, not on external servers.
Device Protection: We recommend using strong passwords and enabling device security features to safeguard your information.

10. Data Deletion

You have full control over your data, and can delete your data in the following ways:

Within the app: By removing medications or clearing logs
By uninstalling the app: This permanently deletes all data stored locally on your device

Since Pillbug does not store your medication data on external servers, we do not retain any copies after deletion.

11. Children’s Privacy

The App is intended for users aged 13 and older. If you are under 18, you must have parental or guardian consent to use the App. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

12. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the App, and your continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
