Privacy Policy
In short
- There is no account. Your medicines, people, dose history, notes and photos are stored on your phone. We never receive them.
- The app shows ads through Google AdMob, which receives standard device information (such as the advertising ID), never your medicines or health information.
- If the app crashes, a technical crash report may be sent to Firebase Crashlytics. You can turn this off.
- We don't sell your information.
This policy explains how the BunniPill app for Android (the "app") and this website handle information. The app and website are provided by the developer ("we", "us").
1. Information you enter, stored on your phone
To remind you, the app stores what you enter only on your device, in the app's private storage:
- medicines (names, strengths, forms, colors, instructions, pill counts and photos you add);
- schedules and the history of doses taken, skipped or missed, and any notes you add to doses;
- the people you add (names, colors and pictures);
- your settings (for example reminder sounds, theme and language).
This information may describe health conditions, and we treat it as sensitive. It is not sent to us or to any advertising or analytics service. We have no account system and no servers that receive it. It leaves your phone only in the ways you choose, described in section 4.
2. What we don't collect
The app has no sign-up or login. It doesn't ask for your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts, call log or SMS. It has no analytics or tracking SDK.
3. Services that receive information
Advertising: Google AdMob
The app is free and supported by ads, shown with Google AdMob (Google LLC). To show and measure ads and prevent fraud, the AdMob SDK collects information such as:
- your device's advertising ID and app set ID;
- device and app information (model, Android version, language, app version);
- IP address, and approximate location derived from it;
- ad interactions (for example, which ads were shown or tapped).
We never pass your medicines, notes, people or any health information to the ad service, and we use no custom ad targeting. Ads never appear on the alarm, in reminders, or while you log a dose.
Consent: in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before ads are personalized, using Google's consent tool. You can change your choice at any time in Settings › Privacy › Ad privacy choices. Anywhere, you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your phone's Settings › Google › Ads (or Settings › Privacy › Ads).
Google's use of this information is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Crash reports: Firebase Crashlytics
If the app crashes, a crash report may be sent to Firebase Crashlytics (Google LLC) so we can fix the problem. It contains technical information: the error and where in the code it happened, device model, Android version, app version, and a random installation identifier. It never contains your medicines, people, notes or schedules. Crash reports are kept for up to 90 days.
You can turn crash reports off at any time in Settings › Privacy › Send crash reports. See the Firebase privacy information.
Google Play
The app is distributed through Google Play, which processes information about downloads and updates under Google's own privacy policy.
4. Backups and exports you choose
- Backup files and reports: when you save a backup or export a PDF or CSV report, it is written to the place you choose (for example your phone's storage or a cloud drive). We don't receive it. A backup contains your medicines, people and history; a report contains your medicines, schedules, doses and notes for the period you choose. Keep these files safe and share them only with people you trust, such as your doctor.
- Android backup: Android may back up the app's data to your own Google account so it can be restored on a new phone. This is a feature of Android, handled by Google, and we can't access it. You can turn it off in Settings › Privacy › Back up to Google; then no app data is sent to the cloud, and the previous cloud copy is replaced with an empty one at the next backup. A direct transfer to a new phone during setup still works.
5. Phone permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Notifications | To show and sound dose reminders. |
| Alarms & reminders (exact alarms) | To ring at the exact minute of each dose. |
| Full-screen alerts | To show the dose alarm over the lock screen. |
| Run at startup | To set reminders again after the phone restarts. |
| Vibration | To vibrate with reminders. |
| Internet and network state | For ads and, if allowed, crash reports. Reminders never need the internet. |
| Keep the phone awake | Briefly, so a reminder can be delivered and the regular background check of reminders can run. |
| Biometric and fingerprint | For the optional app lock, which uses your phone's own unlock. We never see your fingerprint or face. |
| Advertising ID | Used by the ad service (see section 3). You can reset or delete it in your phone's settings. |
Photos are taken with your phone's camera app or chosen with the system photo picker, so the app only receives the photo you take or select. It doesn't ask for access to your camera, gallery, location or contacts.
6. How and why information is used
- Information on your phone is used only to provide the app's features on your phone.
- Advertising information is used by Google to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it, personalized ads are shown only with your consent; otherwise only non-personalized ads are shown.
- Crash reports are used only to find and fix problems in the app (our legitimate interest in a working app), and you can turn them off.
We don't sell personal information, and we don't share your health information with anyone.
7. Keeping and deleting information
Information on your phone stays until you delete it in the app, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the app. Backup files stay wherever you saved them until you delete them. See Delete your data for step-by-step instructions.
8. Security
Your data is kept in the app's private storage, which other apps can't read. You can add the optional app lock. Android backups to Google are encrypted by Google. No method of storage is perfectly secure, so please also protect your phone with a screen lock.
9. Children
The app is intended for adults aged 18 and over, who may use it to manage medicines for family members, including children. It is not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect information from children.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and UK, or the CCPA in California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the use of personal information, and to withdraw consent. Because your medicines and history are stored only on your phone, you control them directly in the app. For information held by Google for ads, crash reports or Android backup, use Google's tools linked above, or contact us and we'll help as far as we can. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
11. International transfers
Google may process ad and crash-report information in countries other than yours, with safeguards described in Google's policies.
12. This website
This website uses no cookies, analytics or trackers, and loads nothing from other sites. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes basic technical information such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. The theme you choose (light or dark) is saved only in your own browser.
13. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update it here with a new effective date and, for important changes, tell you in the app or on Google Play.
14. Contact
