Privacy Policy for Family Medicines

Overview

Family Medicines ("the App", package com.myhome.familymedicines) helps you organize family medicines, reminders, and related notes for personal convenience. The App is informational only and does not provide medical advice. This policy explains what data is processed and how.

Local Storage

The App stores your data locally on your device, including:

• family member profiles, medicine names, notes, and schedules you enter;
• reminder settings, intake history you log, and stock counts you maintain;
• notification preferences;
• optional medicine photos if you attach them.

Advertising (AdMob)

Free users may see ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may process device and usage data under Google's privacy terms. Where required, the App may show consent flows (e.g. UMP) for ads.

Google Privacy Policy

Optional Usage Analytics (Firebase)

Usage analytics is off by default and starts only if you opt in. You can turn it off at any time in Settings. When enabled, the App uses Google Analytics for Firebase to measure app lifecycle and purchase events plus product-health actions: starting record creation, successfully saving a new record, creating a first useful record, scheduling a first reminder, posting or opening a local notification, blocked or failed notification attempts, and creating a first template where templates are supported. A posted notification means Android accepted the request, not that you saw or read it. These product-health events contain no record content or event parameters.

The App never adds your entered names, notes, dates, photos, categories, locations, medicine or gift details, or other record contents to analytics events. Firebase may process an app-instance identifier, basic app and device metadata, purchase product metadata, and coarse location derived from a masked IP address. Analytics Advertising ID collection and ad-personalization signals are disabled by the App. Analytics data is encrypted in transit.

Turning analytics off stops future analytics collection from the App. Previously collected data is handled under Google Analytics retention and deletion controls. See Firebase Privacy and Security and Google Privacy Policy.

In-App Purchases (Google Play Billing)

The App may offer in-app purchases through Google Play Billing (for example to remove ads). Purchase state is checked with Google Play to determine active entitlements.

Notifications

If enabled by you, the App uses local notifications and alarms for dose reminders and low-stock alerts. On Android 13+, notification permission is requested by the system. Exact-alarm capabilities may be required depending on device policy.

Backup

Depending on Android system settings, app data may be included in backup/restore. Billing entitlement cache is treated separately and is not used as a trusted backup source of truth.

Third-Party Services
