Your medication data stays on your device. PillVault for Android stores your medication records locally on your phone. We do not require an account, and we never receive your medication names, dosages, schedules, or dose history on our servers.
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how PillVault for Android ("App"), developed by LynxApps ("we," "us," "our"), handles your information. PillVault is a personal medication tracking tool that lets you log medication names, dosages, schedules, refill dates, and dose history, and it sends local reminders on your device.
By using PillVault, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
PillVault is built to be private by default. We do not collect:
- Your name, email address, or phone number
- Your location or contacts
- Your medication names, dosages, schedules, or dose history
Your medication data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to or accessed by us on any server.
3. Information Collected Automatically
To keep the App stable and improve it, limited, anonymous technical data is collected through Google services. This data never includes your medication contents.
- Crash reports - anonymous diagnostics when the App encounters an error, such as device model, Android version, app version, and a stack trace
- Usage analytics - aggregate, anonymised events about which features are used
- Advertising ID - used by ads in the free version, subject to your consent choices
4. Third-Party Services
Google Firebase (Crashlytics & Analytics)
Collects anonymous crash reports and usage events to help us diagnose problems and improve the App. Medication contents are never included.
Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)
Displays advertisements in the free version. Before ads are shown, you are asked for consent through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP), and you choose how your advertising ID is used.
Google Play Billing
Handles Premium subscriptions and the Lifetime purchase on Android. Payment information is provided directly to Google - we never see or store your payment details.
5. Local Notifications
PillVault sends dose and refill reminders as local notifications on your device. These are scheduled and delivered on-device and are not processed through any external server.
6. Exports
When you create a PDF report or CSV export, the file is generated on your device. It is saved or shared only when you choose to do so, using Android's file and share options.
7. Your Choices & Controls
- Delete your data by clearing the App's storage in Android Settings, or by uninstalling PillVault
- Disable notifications - Android Settings → Apps → PillVault → Notifications
- Manage ad personalisation - Android Settings → Privacy → Ads, or through the in-app consent prompt
- Reset your advertising ID through your device's privacy settings
8. Children's Privacy
PillVault is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us and we will address it promptly.
9. Data Security
Because your medication data stays on your device, it benefits from your device's built-in security, including file-level encryption and screen lock protection on supported devices. We encourage you to keep your device secured and updated.
10. Not a Medical Device
PillVault is a personal organisational tool. It is not a medical device and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
