Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 25, 2026

Welcome to Med Reminder. We understand that your health information is deeply personal. This application is designed to help you manage your medications while keeping your data private and secure.

1. Information We Access

To provide a functional and reliable reminder service, the app requires access to several device features:

Local Health Data: Your medication schedules, dosages, and adherence history are stored locally on your device using a secure database.

Permission Usage:

  • Camera & OCR: The app uses your device's Camera to scan medication labels. We use on-device Optical Character Recognition (OCR) via Google ML Kit to extract text. No images are stored or transmitted; the camera feed is processed in real-time and discarded immediately.
  • Notifications: The POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission is essential for displaying medication reminders and quick actions (Taken/Skip/Snooze) on your lock screen.
  • Exact Alarms: The app uses SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM to ensure your medication reminders trigger at the precise time specified.

2. Data Privacy & Local-First Approach

We prioritize your privacy by keeping your data where it belongs: on your device.

  • No Server Transmission: Your personal health information, medication lists, and schedules are never transmitted to our servers.
  • No Marketing: We never sell your health data or share it with third-party advertisers or data brokers.
  • User Profiles: If you create profiles for family members, all names and associated icons are stored locally.

3. User Control & Security

You have full authority over your health data:

  • You can edit or permanently delete any medication entry or user profile at any time.
  • Revoking notification or camera permissions will only disable those specific features; your data remains secure on your device.
  • We recommend using device-level security (PIN/Fingerprint) to further protect the local data stored by this app.
