Privacy Policy
Pill Reminder: Pip Med Tracker · Effective Date: November 2, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Pill Reminder: Pip Med Tracker ("Pill Reminder", "the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the App. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.
1. Summary
- No account is needed. The App has no sign-in and no cloud sync.
- Your medication information stays on your device. Medication names, schedules, dose records, and notes are stored only on your device (and shared with the App's own widget on the same device). We do not receive them and we do not store them on any server.
- Reminders are local. Reminders are notifications scheduled on your device by iOS, not sent from a server.
- We use Firebase for anonymous analytics and crash reporting, and Adapty with Apple for subscriptions. No medication names, notes, or health records are sent to them.
- We do not sell your personal information, the App shows no advertising, and it does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
2. Information You Enter in the App
Pill Reminder lets you enter your own medications and schedules (for example, from your prescription), receive reminders at those times, record doses as taken or skipped, view progress charts, and create a medication record that you can share with your doctor.
- Stored on your device only: medication names, schedules, dose records (taken or skipped), notes, and your settings are stored locally on your device. The App's Home Screen widgets read this information from a storage area shared only between the App and its own widget (an App Group) on your device.
- No account, no cloud sync, no backup by the App: we do not create an account for you, we do not upload this information, and the App does not back it up for you. If you delete the App or reset your device, this information may be lost. Your device may include app data in an Apple device backup (for example iCloud Backup) if you have turned that on, under Apple's terms.
- Reminders and alarms: reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device by iOS. On iOS 26 and later, you can optionally use system alarms. iOS asks for permission, and you can change it at any time in iOS Settings.
- Medication record (PDF) and exports: the PDF medication record and the CSV or JSON export are created on your device. They are shared only where you choose, for example by sending the file to your doctor or saving it to Files. Once you share a file, the recipient's or service's own privacy practices apply.
- Face ID lock (optional): if you turn on the lock, the App asks iOS to authenticate you with Face ID (or your device passcode). The App never receives or stores your biometric data; it only learns whether authentication succeeded.
3. Information Collected Automatically
To understand how the App is used and to fix problems, limited technical information is collected through our service providers. It does not include medication names, notes, dose records, or other health information.
- Product interaction: anonymous usage events such as app launches, onboarding progress, screens viewed, and paywall views. These events do not contain any content you enter.
- Diagnostics: crash reports, error information, performance data, app version, iOS version, and device model.
- Identifiers: app instance identifiers created by Firebase and Adapty. The App does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA).
- Approximate location: a coarse location (such as country or region) may be derived from your IP address by our service providers. The App does not request access to your location.
- Purchase information: subscription status, product identifiers, and transaction status needed to provide Premium features and restore purchases.
4. Subscriptions and Payments
Premium features are offered as auto-renewing weekly and annual subscriptions, purchased through Apple. The annual plan may include a free trial if you are eligible. Payments are processed by Apple; we never receive your payment card details. Adapty helps us verify subscription status, show the subscription screen, and restore purchases. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings.
5. Third-Party Services
- Firebase (Google): Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics, used for anonymous usage analytics and crash reporting. See the Firebase privacy information.
- Adapty: subscription management, paywall display, and purchase validation. See the Adapty Privacy Policy.
- Apple: App Store purchases, subscriptions, refunds, device backup, local notifications, Face ID, and system privacy controls. See the Apple Privacy Policy.
These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
6. How We Use Information
- Provide the App's features, including reminders, dose tracking, charts, medication records, widgets, Premium features, and restoring purchases.
- Understand which features are used and improve the App.
- Detect, investigate, and fix crashes and technical issues.
- Respond to support requests.
- Comply with legal obligations and App Store requirements.
7. Sharing of Information
We do not sell or rent personal information. Because your medication information stays on your device, we do not have it to share. Information is shared only with the service providers listed above so they can provide their services to us or to you, and with authorities if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or security. Files you export or share from the App go only where you choose to send them.
8. Tracking and Advertising
The App does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies, does not use your data for targeted advertising, does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA), does not sell your data, and does not show ads.
9. Data Retention and Deletion
Medication names, schedules, dose records, notes, and settings remain on your device until you delete them. You can delete all of your data at any time in Settings › Delete all data in the App, or by deleting the App. You can also export your data as CSV or JSON in Settings. Analytics, diagnostic, and subscription data are kept by our service providers according to their retention settings and policies. To make a data request, contact us at birak200@gmail.com.
10. Your Choices and Rights
- You can use the App without creating an account.
- You can turn notifications and alarms off in iOS Settings, and you can turn the Face ID lock on or off in the App.
- You can export or delete your data in the App at any time.
- You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings.
- Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. Contact us at birak200@gmail.com to make a request.
11. Health Information Notice
Pill Reminder is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. The medication information you enter is yours, stays on your device, and is not shared with us. See our Terms of Use for important information about relying on reminders.
12. Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, including encrypting data in transit to our service providers. Your medication information relies on the security of your device, so we recommend using a device passcode and, if you wish, the App's optional Face ID lock. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure.
13. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to address it.
14. International Processing
Our service providers, including Google Firebase and Adapty, may process information in countries other than the one where you live, where data protection laws may differ.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
