1. Information We Collect
Data Stored Locally on Your Device
MedMinder stores all of the following data exclusively on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us:
- Medication names, dosage amounts, and schedules you enter
- Dose logs (taken, skipped, or missed)
- Refill quantities and dates
- App preferences and settings
Drug Name Search
When you search for a medication by name, MedMinder sends your search query to the National Library of Medicine's RxNorm API, a free public service operated by the U.S. government. Only the text you type in the search field is transmitted — no personal information, device identifiers, or health history is included. Please review the NLM's privacy policy for details.
In-App Purchases
Premium purchases are handled entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), depending on your platform. We do not collect, process, or store any payment information. See Apple's Privacy Policy or Google's Privacy Policy for details.
Notifications
MedMinder may request permission to send you local notifications for medication reminders. These notifications are generated entirely on your device. No notification content is transmitted to us or any third party.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
MedMinder does not collect any of the following:
- Your name, email address, or any account information (no account required)
- Location data
- Device identifiers or advertising identifiers
- Crash reports or analytics sent to our servers
- Health data through platform health frameworks (Apple HealthKit or Google Health Connect)
- Data from your contacts, camera, photos, or microphone
3. How Your Data Is Used
All data you enter in MedMinder is used solely to provide the app's features — reminders, dose tracking, adherence history, and refill alerts. Because this data is stored locally on your device, we have no access to it and cannot use it for any other purpose.
4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your personal information with any third parties. The only external service MedMinder communicates with is the NLM RxNorm API for drug name lookups, as described above. No personal health data is transmitted in these requests.
5. Data Security
MedMinder relies on your device's built-in encryption to protect your data on-device. On iOS, this uses NSFileProtectionComplete; on Android, data is protected by Android's built-in encryption. Your medication data is only accessible when your device is unlocked. We recommend using a strong passcode or biometric authentication to further protect your data.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Because all data is stored locally on your device, you are in full control at all times. You can delete individual medications or dose logs within the app, or remove all app data by uninstalling MedMinder. Uninstalling the app permanently removes all locally stored data.
7. Children's Privacy
MedMinder is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, please contact us using the details below.
8. Your Rights
Because MedMinder does not collect or store personal data on our servers, most traditional data rights requests are satisfied by your control over your own device. If you are located in the European Economic Area or California, you may have additional rights under the GDPR or CCPA. Please contact us to exercise any such rights.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will provide notice through the App Store or Google Play update notes.
