Privacy Policy for Pill Remindly

Last Updated: January 11, 2026

Overview

Pill Remindly (“the App”) is a medication reminder and tracking application developed by Swiftful Dynamics. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have full control over your personal health information.

Data Collection and Storage

What We Collect

Pill Remindly collects and stores the following information that you provide:

  • Medication Information: Names, dosages, strengths, instructions, and custom icons/colors for your medications
  • Reminders: Scheduled times and frequency for medication reminders
  • Dose Logs: Records of when you take, skip, or miss doses
  • Side Effects: Any side effects you choose to log, including severity and notes
  • Inventory Data: Medication quantities and low stock thresholds

How We Store Your Data

All data is stored locally on your device. Pill Remindly does not transmit your health information to external servers. Your medication data remains private and under your control.

  • Data is stored using Apple's SwiftData framework on your iPhone
  • If you use the Apple Watch companion app, data syncs directly between your devices using Apple's secure WatchConnectivity framework
  • No cloud servers or third-party services have access to your data

Camera Usage

Pill Remindly uses your device's camera solely for the Medication Scanner feature, which allows you to scan medication labels to auto-fill medication details.

  • Camera images are processed entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework for text recognition
  • On supported devices (iOS 26+), Apple's on-device Foundation Models may be used for intelligent text parsing
  • No images are transmitted, stored, or shared — they are processed in real-time and immediately discarded

Notifications

Pill Remindly uses local notifications to remind you about:

  • Scheduled medication doses
  • Low inventory alerts
  • Refill reminders

These notifications are generated and managed entirely on your device. We do not use push notification servers or collect notification interaction data.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, share, or transmit your personal health data to any third parties.

The only way your data leaves your device is:

  • Share Report Feature: You can optionally generate and share a text-based medication history report via the iOS share sheet. This is entirely user-initiated.
  • Apple Watch Sync: If enabled, data syncs between your iPhone and Apple Watch through Apple's secure device-to-device communication.

Data Retention

Your data remains on your device until you choose to delete it. You can:

  • Delete individual medications, reminders, or logs at any time
  • Use the “Delete All Data” option in Settings to completely remove all app data
  • Uninstall the app to remove all associated data from your device

Children's Privacy

Pill Remindly is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:

  • Access: All your data is visible within the app
  • Modify: Edit or update any information at any time
  • Delete: Remove any or all data whenever you choose
  • Export: Share your medication history as a report

Security

We implement security best practices:

  • All data is stored using Apple's secure frameworks
  • The app does not require user accounts or passwords
  • No network transmission of personal data
  • Camera data is processed locally and never stored

Third-Party Services

Pill Remindly does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
