Privacy Policy

Pill Mode — medication reminder app
Effective date: 18 August 2026 · Last updated: 18 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information the Pill Mode mobile application ("Pill Mode", "the app", "we", "us") collects, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to the Pill Mode app on iOS and Android.

Pill Mode is not a medical service. The app helps you remember to take medication you have already been prescribed. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it must not be relied upon in an emergency. Always follow the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist.

3. Service providers

We use the following providers, who process data on our behalf:

4. Advertising and your choices

The free version of Pill Mode shows ads supplied by Google AdMob. Where consent for personalised advertising is required by law, it is collected through Google's consent framework before ads are shown. You can limit or reset ad tracking at any time through your device settings:

Buying the ad-free subscription removes advertising.

5. Notifications and alarms

Pill Mode needs permission to send notifications, and on Android it schedules exact alarms, so that reminders arrive at the precise time you set. Reminders are the core function of the app; if you deny or revoke notification permission, the app cannot alert you when a dose is due. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings.

6. Data retention and deletion

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. To delete your account and its associated data, email us at the address below from the address linked to your account and we will action the deletion. Once deletion is complete, your medication history, profiles, and photos are removed from our systems. Backups are purged on a rolling basis, normally within 30 days. Anonymous, aggregated diagnostics may be retained.

7. Security

Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and stored on Google Cloud infrastructure with access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

8. Children

Pill Mode is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. A parent or guardian may use the app to manage medication for a child, in which case the adult is responsible for the information they enter. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. International transfers

Your information may be processed on servers outside your country of residence, including in the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

11. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continuing to use Pill Mode after a change means you accept the updated policy.
