1. Introduction
PillBox is an offline medication scheduling and management application provided by PAVELEY ESTATES LIMITED, United Kingdom.
We respect users' privacy and recognize that medication information can be sensitive.
This Privacy Policy explains what information PillBox processes, how it is stored, which device permissions may be used, and how users can manage their information.
PillBox is designed to operate without requiring an internet connection or user account.
2. Information You Enter
PillBox allows users to voluntarily enter and manage information including:
- Medicine names and descriptions
- Medicine strength and dosage instructions
- Medication schedules and selected weekdays
- Start dates, treatment durations, and notes
- Recorded Taken and Skipped doses
- Medication history
- Remaining medicine quantities
- Low-stock thresholds and inventory adjustments
This information may contain sensitive health-related details.
The information is entered and managed by the user for the application's medication organization and reminder features.
3. Local Data Storage
Medication records, schedules, dose history, and application preferences are stored locally on the user's Android device.
PillBox does not require an internet connection to perform its core functions.
The application does not provide developer-operated cloud synchronization or remote account storage.
PillBox does not intentionally transmit medication records to servers operated by PAVELEY ESTATES LIMITED.
Android system backup services may separately handle application data depending on device configuration and the application's final backup settings.
4. How Information Is Used
Locally stored information is processed to:
- Display medicines and scheduled doses
- Organize daily medication routines
- Schedule local reminders and alarms
- Record medicine-taking activity
- Show calendar and history information
- Calculate personal schedule progress
- Monitor remaining medicine stock
- Apply user-selected preferences
PillBox does not use medication records for advertising, profiling, or marketing.
5. Notifications and Alarm Permissions
PillBox may request Android notification permission to display medication reminders.
When the user enables reminders, PillBox can schedule:
- An advance reminder approximately five minutes before a scheduled dose
- An alarm notification at the scheduled dose time
Where supported, PillBox may request access to Android's exact-alarm functionality to improve reminder timing.
These permissions are used for local medication reminders, not for collecting personal information.
Notification and alarm delivery may be affected by permissions, Do Not Disturb, battery restrictions, and Android device settings.
Users can manage notification and alarm permissions through their device settings.
6. Information Sharing
PillBox does not include developer-operated functionality to upload, sell, or share medication records with advertisers, analytics providers, or external marketing services.
The app does not require users to register an account.
If a user chooses to share information through device-level features, such as a local export where available, that action is controlled by the user and the selected receiving application.
7. Analytics, Advertising, and Tracking
PillBox is designed without advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, or behavioral tracking services.
The application does not use medication information to build advertising profiles.
PillBox does not require location tracking or contact-list access for its core functionality.
8. Data Retention and Deletion
Medication data remains in local application storage until it is deleted by the user, the application's data is cleared, or the app is uninstalled.
Users can manage medicine records using the application's available editing and deletion features.
Users may also remove the application's locally stored data through Android device settings.
Copies retained by Android's backup system, if enabled, are subject to the user's Android and backup-service settings.
9. Data Security
PillBox relies on Android's application storage protections to restrict ordinary access by other applications.
Users should protect their devices with an appropriate screen lock and keep Android updated.
No local storage system can guarantee absolute security, particularly on compromised or modified devices.
10. Children's Privacy
PillBox is a general-purpose medication organization tool and is not specifically directed toward children.
Parents or guardians should supervise medication management where appropriate.
The application does not knowingly operate a service for collecting children's personal information through developer-controlled servers.
11. Medical Disclaimer
PillBox is intended solely for medication scheduling, personal organization, reminders, and record keeping.
It does not provide medical advice, diagnose medical conditions, recommend medication dosages, or determine treatments.
PillBox is not intended to replace professional medical advice, consultation, or treatment.
Users should always follow instructions from their prescribing healthcare professional.
Medication alerts may be delayed or missed because of Android device settings, permissions, power restrictions, or other technical limitations.
Users should not rely exclusively on PillBox for essential medication reminders.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when application functionality, privacy practices, or applicable requirements change.
Any revised policy will include an updated effective date.
