Local-First Design

PillPal is designed as a local-first application. Your medication records, dose history, reminder schedules, and adherence data are stored exclusively on your device. PillPal has no user account, no sign-in, and no server that stores your personal information.

🔒

Data Stored On Your Device Only

  • Medication names, optional brand names, and user-entered dose text
  • Reminder times and schedule configurations
  • Dose outcome history, recorded timestamps, missed-dose status, and adherence summaries
  • Snooze event history
  • Cached OpenFDA drug label snapshots
  • App lock, appearance, time zone, and reminder delivery preferences
🌐

Data Sent Off Your Device

PillPal transmits data off your device in only two limited circumstances:

  • Medication name text and optional brand name text — sent to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's public OpenFDA API (api.fda.gov) only when you enable FDA Label Lookup and request a drug label check. This text is not linked to any user account, identifier, or personal profile.
  • Voice audio or transcription — sent to Apple's Speech Recognition service only if your device does not support on-device recognition and you choose to use the optional voice input feature. Governed by Apple's privacy policy.
  • Standard network metadata (such as IP address) may be visible to OpenFDA or Apple as part of the above requests. PillPal does not control this.
🚫

Data PillPal Does Not Collect

  • No user account, registration, or sign-in
  • No analytics or crash-reporting SDK
  • No advertising SDK or ad network
  • No iCloud or CloudKit sync in this version
  • No caregiver or third-party data sharing
  • No access to Contacts, Photos, Calendar, Location, or HealthKit records
  • No device fingerprinting or cross-app tracking
  • No advertising identifier (IDFA)

Permissions PillPal May Request

  • Notifications — to deliver medication reminders with sound and action buttons
  • Alarm permission — for system-style alarms on supported iOS 26.1+ devices; standard notifications used as fallback
  • Face ID / Device Authentication — for the optional app-lock feature; data stays on device
  • Microphone & Speech Recognition — only when you explicitly choose voice input for medication entry

All permissions are optional except notifications, which are required for reminders to function. You can revoke any permission at any time in iOS Settings.

🗁

Third-Party Services

  • OpenFDA API (open.fda.gov) — U.S. Government public domain drug label data. Governed by FDA's terms of service. PillPal sends medication name text and optional brand name text; no user identity, dose history, schedule, device identifier, or location is transmitted.
  • Apple Speech Recognition — Optional; used only if you choose voice input and on-device recognition is unavailable. Governed by Apple's privacy policy (apple.com/legal/privacy).
🗑

Data Deletion

You can permanently delete all PillPal data at any time via Settings → Delete Data → Delete All My Data. This removes medication records, dose history, snooze history, cached label checks, URL cache, and all pending local reminders from your device. This action cannot be undone.

You may also clear older history selectively via Settings → Clear History.

Data Retention: All data is retained on your device indefinitely until you choose to delete it via Settings. No data is stored on any external server by Adigopula Solutions.

HIPAA — Does Not Apply to PillPal

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) applies to covered entities — healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses — and their business associates who handle Protected Health Information (PHI) on their behalf. Adigopula Solutions is not a covered entity, and PillPal is not a business associate of any covered entity.

Medication data you enter into PillPal is stored exclusively on your device as personal wellness notes. It is not transmitted to, processed by, or stored on any server operated by Adigopula Solutions or any covered entity. HIPAA protections and obligations therefore do not apply to PillPal.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

⚠️

§ 1 — Regulatory Status

PillPal is a personal wellness reminder application. It is NOT a medical device.

PillPal has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a medical device under 21 U.S.C. § 321(h) or 21 CFR Part 880. The developer intends PillPal to qualify as a general wellness application under FDA's enforcement discretion policy. It is not designed, marketed, or intended to meet the definition of Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).

PillPal is a general wellness application intended to help users track their own medication schedules. Under FDA's Policy for Device Software Functions and Mobile Medical Applications (2022) and the 21st Century Cures Act, general wellness apps that track self-reported health information fall outside FDA's device enforcement jurisdiction.

§ 2 — No Medical Advice

PillPal does NOT:

  • Provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
  • Calculate, recommend, or verify medication dosage
  • Instruct you to start, stop, skip, delay, or modify any medication
  • Replace instructions from a licensed physician, pharmacist, or healthcare provider
  • Create a patient-provider or therapeutic relationship of any kind
  • Monitor your health in real time or provide emergency support

Always confirm medication decisions with a licensed doctor or pharmacist.

⚠️

§ 3 — No Warranty — Provided "AS IS"

THIS APPLICATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

The developer expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of information, and any warranty that the application will be uninterrupted or error-free.

No oral or written information provided by the developer creates any warranty not expressly stated herein.

🙋

§ 4 — Voluntary Use & User Responsibility

Use of PillPal is entirely voluntary and at your sole discretion.

  • You bear full responsibility for all medication decisions
  • Maintain independent, clinician-supervised medication management at all times
  • Do not rely solely on PillPal reminders for critical or life-sustaining medications
  • Consult a licensed healthcare professional before making any medication change
📄

§ 5 — OpenFDA Drug Label Information

  • Sourced from the public openFDA API at open.fda.gov
  • Is public reference data — not a clinical review, prescription check, or FDA endorsement of PillPal
  • May be incomplete, outdated, unavailable, or not applicable to your specific situation
  • May not include every warning, interaction, contraindication, brand, generic, dose, or formulation
  • Absence of a warning does NOT mean a medication or combination is safe for you

Official reference: open.fda.gov  ·  fda.gov/drugs

🔔

§ 6 — Reminder & Adherence Limitations

Reminder delivery depends on multiple factors outside PillPal's control:

  • Device notification and alarm permissions granted by you
  • iOS version, device model, battery state, Do Not Disturb, and Focus mode settings
  • Accuracy of medication data, dose times, and statuses you enter
  • Network availability for OpenFDA label lookups

Adherence records are supporting notes for clinician discussions — they are not an official or legally recognized medical record.

PillPal is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party services.

Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
