Our Privacy Commitment

Meds is designed with privacy in mind. We believe you should have full control over your medication information. All your data stays on your device - we don't have servers, we don't collect personal information, and we never share your data with third parties.

• Medication Details: Names, dosages, schedules, and pill counts you enter
• Reminder Settings: Times and frequencies for your medication alerts

• Notes: Any notes or instructions you add

Automatically Collected Information

• Usage Analytics: Anonymous app usage patterns and feature interactions
• Crash Reports: Technical information when the app encounters errors

How We Use Information

The information you enter in Meds is used solely to:

• Send you medication reminders at scheduled times
• Track your pill supply and predict refill dates

• Transmitted to our servers (we don't have any)

Children's Privacy

Meds is intended for users aged 17 and above who manage their own medications. Parents using the app to track family medications should maintain control of the device and app access.
