The app collects nothing
Take your meds has no account, no sign-in, and no server. Nothing you enter is transmitted anywhere.
Everything you record is stored only in the app’s private storage on your own device, and is readable only by the app.
There is no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no third-party SDK that phones home.
The Google Play Billing library, which handles tips, carries usage logging of its own; without the
INTERNET permission it has no way to send it.
What the app can access, and why
- Notifications, to show a reminder at each time you set. Asked for when you first give a medicine a time, never before.
- Alarms and reminders, so a reminder arrives on its minute. Asked for right after notifications, as a switch in Android’s settings; without it, a reminder can arrive late.
- Google Play billing. Lets the app ask the Google Play app for the price of a tip and open its payment sheet. It gives the app nothing about you.
The two things that happen outside the app
These are done by the operating system or by Google, not by Take your meds, but they are the honest answer to “where could my data be”:
- Android’s automatic backup. If it is enabled on your phone, Android backs up what you recorded in the app to your own Google Drive, in a space that does not count against your storage quota and that Google states apps cannot read. You can turn this off in your phone’s settings.
-
Google Play. Installing and updating an app is a transaction between your phone and Google, with its own privacy policy. About installs, the developer of this app receives aggregate, anonymous statistics — install counts, crash rates, country-level breakdowns — and no information about individuals.
A tip, if you leave one, is paid to Google Play. The app asks the Play app on your phone for the prices and opens Play’s own payment sheet; your payment details go to Google and never to the app. Tips unlock nothing, so the app keeps no record of one. The developer receives the payment and Google’s order reports, which show for each tip the product, the price, your country, state and postcode, and the model of your phone — and your city, in the few countries where the developer rather than Google is the seller — but not your name or payment details. The developer uses them only for accounting.
Children
The app is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone.
Deleting your data
Uninstalling the app removes everything it stored. There is nowhere else to delete it from, because there is nowhere else it went.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the history of this file is public in the repository.
