💊 Medicine Schedule

1. Introduction

Medicine Schedule ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our free medication timer and schedule tracking tool (the "Service").

We designed this Service with privacy as a core principle. Unlike many health-related applications, our medicine schedule tracker operates entirely in your browser without requiring account creation, personal registration, or server-side data storage.

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the policies and practices described here, please do not use our Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

The medication schedule tool allows you to enter medication names, dosages, intervals, and timing information. This information is entered directly by you and is stored exclusively on your device using your browser's localStorage capability. We do not receive, process, or store this medication data on any server.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically by third-party services (such as analytics and advertising platforms). This may include:

• Your IP address (which may be geolocated to a general region)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring website
• Pages viewed and time spent on pages
• Device type and screen resolution

This automatically collected information does not identify you personally and is used solely for analytics and advertising purposes as described below.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

Importantly, we do not collect: (unless voluntarily provided via a contact form or email)

• Your name or contact details
• Your medication names, dosages, or schedules
• Health conditions or medical history
• Payment information (the Service is free)
• Biometric data
• Account credentials (no account is required)

3. How We Use Information

The limited information collected through third-party services is used for the following purposes:

• Service Improvement: Understanding how users interact with the medicine timer to improve functionality and user experience
• Traffic Analytics: Measuring the number of visitors, popular features, and usage patterns to optimise the Service
• Advertising: Displaying relevant advertisements to help sustain this free service
• Security: Detecting and preventing abuse or technical issues

4. Local Storage & Data Persistence

Your medication schedule data — including medication names, doses, intervals, and completion status — is stored using your browser's localStorage API. This means:

• Data is stored exclusively on your device
• Data is not transmitted to our servers or any third party
• Data persists between browsing sessions on the same device and browser
• Data will be lost if you clear your browser's localStorage or unavailable if you switch to a different device/browser

We recommend that you do not rely on this Service as the sole method of tracking critical medications. Always keep an independent record of your prescription as provided by your healthcare professional.

You can clear all stored medication data at any time by using the "Clear & Start New" feature within the application or by clearing your browser's localStorage data.

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Google AdSense

This Service uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative.

5.2 Browser Notification API

The medicine timer may request permission to send browser notifications to remind you of upcoming medication doses. This feature uses the standard Web Notifications API and operates entirely client-side. No notification content is transmitted to any server. You may revoke notification permission at any time through your browser settings.

5.3 Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites (such as GitHub). This Privacy Policy applies only to our Service. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

6. Cookies

We do not set our own cookies directly. However, third-party services used on this website (such as Google AdSense) may set cookies. These cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of those third parties.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of advertisements and certain features.

7. Data Security

Since your medication data is stored locally on your device and not transmitted over the internet to any server, it benefits from a reduced attack surface compared to cloud-based services. However, please be aware that:

• localStorage data can potentially be accessed by other scripts running in the same browser origin
• Data stored in localStorage is not encrypted
• If your device is shared with others, they may access your medication schedule data through the same browser

If privacy on a shared device is a concern, we recommend clearing your browser data after each use or using a private/incognito browsing session (noting that data will not persist across sessions in incognito mode).

8. Children's Privacy

The Medicine Schedule tool is not directed to individuals under the age of 18 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian who believes your child has used this Service, you may choose to remove the relevant data from your or their device's localStorage using the options available to you in the browser.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data under applicable data protection laws (such as the GDPR in the European Economic Area):

• Right of Access: Request information about personal data held about you
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data
• Right to Restrict Processing: Request limitation of the processing of your data
• Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Right to Object: Object to the processing of your personal data
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent

Since medication data is stored locally on your device, you can exercise most of these rights directly by accessing or clearing your browser's localStorage. For other requests, please contact us.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
