Privacy Policy for Medication Reminder
Medication Reminder stores the medication and supplement names, schedules, intake history, remaining quantities, and app settings you enter locally on your device. We do not automatically collect these medication records, upload them to our own servers, or remotely access them. If you choose to use the in-app Send Feedback feature, the feedback category and message you submit may be sent to us. Google services used for advertising, privacy choices, and in-app purchases may process certain device, app-use, consent, and transaction information under their own policies.
1. Scope and contact
This policy applies to the Android application Medication Reminder (also called 약 알리미), operated by NewsDive (뉴스다이브), a business registered in the Republic of Korea (registration number: 336-25-01503).
Privacy and app support: songseung88@hanmail.net
The app does not require you to create an account with us.
2. Medication and supplement information stored on your device
To provide reminders and tracking, you may enter or generate the following information in the app:
- Medication or supplement names and notes
- Dose reminder times and repeating schedules
- Intake status and history
- Remaining quantities and low-stock settings
- Notification preferences and other app settings
These records are stored in the app's local storage on your device. We do not automatically upload your medication or supplement records to our servers, and we cannot remotely view them. The app does not provide these records to Google Mobile Ads for ad targeting.
3. Optional in-app feedback
If you choose Send Feedback and submit a message, the app may transmit:
- The feedback category you select (bug report, suggestion, or other)
- The free-text message you enter
Your medication names, schedules, intake history, remaining quantities, and other locally stored medication records are not automatically attached to feedback. Please avoid including sensitive medical information in your free-text message unless it is necessary.
Feedback is transmitted over HTTPS through a Google Apps Script-based service and may be delivered to our support email. No feedback message is sent unless you choose to submit one.
4. Information handled by third-party services
Medication Reminder uses the services listed below. Their processing may depend on your location, privacy choices, and how you use the app.
| Service | Information that may be processed | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) | IP address (which may indicate approximate location), ad and app interaction information, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers such as advertising ID or app set ID, where applicable. | Display and measure ads, analytics, fraud prevention, and service operation. |
| Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) | Advertising privacy choices and consent-related information. | Present and manage privacy choices where applicable. |
| Google Play Billing | Purchase and transaction information needed to process Premium and optional supporter purchases. | Process, verify, and restore eligible purchases. |
| Google Apps Script | Only the feedback category and message that you choose to submit. | Relay user feedback to our support channel. |
Medication records are not sent to AdMob for ad targeting. We do not directly collect or store your payment card numbers or other payment-method details through Google Play purchases. The number of digital supporter thank-you cards is stored locally on your device; it is not uploaded to our server.
Learn more about Google's data handling in the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
5. Advertising consent and privacy choices
Where required, Google UMP may present advertising consent and privacy-choice messages, including for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Depending on the region, your choices may affect whether ads are personalized or which advertising services can operate. Availability and wording of these choices may vary by jurisdiction.
Where an advertising privacy-options entry point is available in the app, you can use it to review or change your choices. You may also manage available advertising preferences through your Android device or Google account settings. Advertising-related processing by Google is subject to Google's applicable policies and the choices made through the available controls.
6. Device permissions
The app may request Android notification permission and access for exact alarms or full-screen notifications, depending on the device and operating system. These are used to schedule and display medication reminders. Granting these permissions does not itself send your medication records to our servers.
7. Retention and deletion
Local medication records and digital supporter-card counts may remain on your device until you delete relevant records in the app, clear the app's data in Android settings, or uninstall the app. Because we do not store these records on our servers, we cannot delete or restore those local records remotely.
Feedback that you submit may remain in our support email or related systems as needed to address inquiries and improve the app; we may delete it when it is no longer needed. To request deletion of feedback you submitted, contact us at songseung88@hanmail.net with sufficient information for us to identify your submission.
Google's retention and deletion practices for advertising, consent, and payments are governed by the applicable Google services and account settings.
8. Security
Medication information is processed in local app storage instead of being automatically transmitted to our servers. Submitted feedback is transmitted using HTTPS. According to Google's SDK disclosures, Google Mobile Ads encrypts the data it sends in transit. We recommend using Android's device-lock and other security features.
9. Your choices
- Review and delete medication or supplement records within the app where supported.
- Clear local app data in Android settings or uninstall the app.
- Choose whether to send feedback; feedback is optional.
- Review or update advertising privacy preferences where the app provides those controls.
- Restore an eligible previous Premium purchase using the same Google Play account through the in-app purchase-restore function. Premium is a one-time purchase and removes ads.
- Buy optional digital supporter cards as consumable one-time purchases. Because their card counts are stored locally, those counts may not be recoverable after clearing app data or reinstalling.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have additional rights regarding personal data. You can contact us using the email above about information handled by us. For data managed directly by Google, Google's own privacy controls and request channels may also apply.
10. Health-related notice
Medication Reminder is a reminder and record-keeping tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose conditions, provide treatment advice, determine doses, or decide what to do about missed doses. Follow the instructions of your doctor, pharmacist, and prescription when making medication decisions.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when app features, third-party services, or applicable requirements change. We will revise the date above and provide further notice through the app or store listing where appropriate.
