PillAlert (the "app") is an Android medication reminder app developed by San Informática ("we"). This policy explains what information the app processes, what it is used for, and what your rights are.
The app does not require registration, an account, or a login.
The data you enter is stored on your device.
The app contains no ads, uses no analytics or tracking tools, and does not sell or share your data with third parties.
The app is not a substitute for medical advice.
To work, the app processes the following information, entered by you:
Medication data: medication names, doses, schedules, history of doses taken, postponed or missed, and notes.
Settings: alarm, sound, vibration, and language preferences.
Contact phone number (optional): the number of a trusted person, used only if you enable the SMS alert (item 4).
Photos (optional): images you take with the camera inside the app.
Audio (optional): recordings you make inside the app, if you use that feature.
Local technical records: internal operating events (logs), kept on the device for diagnostics.
Medication data may be considered sensitive personal data (health). It is therefore processed only for the purpose described below, with your consent, given by accepting the Liability and Disclaimer Agreement (item 9) on first use. You may withdraw this consent at any time by deleting the data or uninstalling the app (item 7).
We use the information exclusively to: trigger alarms and notifications at your medication times, record the dose history, display reports, and let you export and import your data.
Notifications and full screen: show the reminder and the alarm at the scheduled time, including when the screen is locked.
Exact alarms and reminders: trigger the alert at the exact configured time.
Start after reboot: reschedule your alarms when the device restarts.
Run in the background / keep awake / draw over other apps / notification policy: ensure the alarm sounds and is visible even while the device is in use or in silent mode.
Vibration: alert by vibration.
Camera: take photos inside the app, only when you use the feature.
Microphone: record audio, only when you use the feature.
SMS (no SMS permission required): if you enable the SMS alert and enter a phone number, the app opens your device's messaging app with the text pre-filled; the message is sent only if you confirm. We do not receive or store these messages.
You can revoke any permission at any time in Android settings, understanding that some functions may stop working.
We do not collect your data on our own servers and we do not share, sell, or transfer it to third parties. Data leaves the device only in the following situations, initiated by you:
exporting a backup or report to a file, which you can keep or send wherever you prefer;
sending an SMS, as described in item 4;
Android (Google) automatic backup, if enabled on your device. This backup is governed by Google's privacy policy and may include the app's database.
Data is kept in the app's private area, protected by the Android system. Exported backups can be protected with a password that you set. No storage method is completely secure; we recommend keeping a screen lock on your device.
Data remains on the device for as long as you use the app. You can delete medications and history inside the app, or erase all data in Android Settings > Apps > PillAlert > Storage > Clear data, or by uninstalling the app. Since we keep no server copy, we cannot recover deleted data. To request deletion of Google backups, use your Google account.
Under the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (Law 13,709/2018), you may request confirmation of processing, access, correction, deletion, and information about sharing. If you are in the European Union or Japan, you have the equivalent rights under the GDPR or the APPI, respectively. Since the data is only on your device, you exercise most of these rights directly in the app. For other questions, contact us using the details below.
The app is not intended for children under 13. Guardians may use it to manage the medication of minors under their supervision.
PillAlert is a reminder tool. It does not provide diagnosis, prescription, or medical advice, and alarm failures may occur (for example, due to the device's battery restrictions). Always follow the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.
We may update this policy. The revision date will appear at the top of this page, and significant changes will be communicated in the app or on the store page.
