MedAid Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 8th, 2025

MedAid is designed to help you manage your medications privately and securely. Your personal health information always stays on your device — we do not collect it, store it, or share it with anyone.

This Privacy Policy explains what information the app does and does not handle, how external data sources are used, and your rights as a user.


1. Information We Do Not Collect or Store Outside Your Device

MedAid does not collect, transmit, store, or access any personal data on servers or third-party systems.

We do not receive or store:

  • Your medication list
  • Medication schedules or reminder settings
  • Notes or medication logs
  • Health conditions
  • Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number, address)
  • Device identifiers
  • Location data
  • Any analytics, usage data, or behavioral information

All personal information you enter into MedAid is stored locally on your device only and never leaves your control.

We do not use:

  • Cloud storage
  • User accounts
  • Advertising SDKs
  • Analytics SDKs
  • Tracking technologies of any kind

MedAid qualifies as “Data Not Collected” under Apple’s App Store privacy classification.


2. Data Stored On Your Device

The following information stays strictly on your device:

  • Your medication list
  • Reminder settings and medication schedulea
  • Medication taking logs
  • User preferences and settings

MedAid does not upload or sync this information to iCloud or any server. Your data remains private unless you manually export it from your device.


3. Information Sent to External Services

When you search for a medication or view medication information pages, MedAid performs anonymous lookups to publicly available government data sources. The app may transmit:

  • A government-issued drug identifier (DIN, NDC, SPL SetID, or RxCUI), or
  • A medication name typed by the user (e.g., “vitamin D,” “metformin”)

No personal data, schedules, notes, or health details are ever transmitted.

These lookups and page requests go to official public endpoints:

  • MedlinePlus Connect API (U.S. National Library of Medicine) – to retrieve medication summaries and information links
  • RxNorm API (U.S. National Library of Medicine) – to identify and normalize drug names
  • DailyMed (U.S. National Library of Medicine) – to display FDA drug label pages
  • Health Canada Drug Product Database – to retrieve Canadian drug information and monograph links
  • NIH Office of Dietary Supplements – to display supplement fact sheet pages

MedAid does not control or modify the content returned by these sources.


4. No Ads, No Tracking, No Third-Party Analytics

MedAid:

  • Does not display advertisements
  • Does not use tracking tools
  • Does not use third-party analytics SDKs
  • Does not share or sell any data

We do not profile users, track behavior, or collect aggregate statistics.


5. Crash Reporting

MedAid relies solely on Apple’s built-in crash reporting, which is handled by the operating system.

Crash logs may contain general device data (as controlled by Apple), but we do not receive or access this information directly, nor do we collect additional diagnostic data.


6. Children’s Privacy

MedAid does not collect or transmit personal data and does not require an account. The app is suitable for general use but not targeted to children.


7. Security

Because all personal data is stored locally on your device, your privacy is protected by the security measures of your iPhone or iPad (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID, etc.).

We recommend enabling a device passcode and keeping your iOS software up to date.


8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Any material updates to this Privacy Policy will be reflected on our website. Continued use of MedAid after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
