1. Introduction

Thank you for using PillBell (Chinese name: 药小铃), a simple medication reminder and dose-tracking app for iOS. Medication schedules and health-related notes are sensitive, so privacy-first design is a core principle of PillBell.

This Privacy Policy explains what information PillBell stores, how it is protected, and what we do not collect.

In short: Your medication data is stored on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud, it may sync through your own Apple iCloud private database. PillBell has no account system, and we operate no server that receives your medication names, schedules, or dose history.

PillBell is a personal reminder and logging tool. It is not a medical device, provides no diagnosis or treatment advice, and is not a substitute for professional medical guidance.

2. What We Collect — and What We Don’t

2.1 Information We Do Not Collect

PillBell follows a data-minimization approach. The following never reaches us:

• ❌ Personal identification: name, email, phone number, postal address (no account registration required)
• ❌ Advertising identifiers: IDFA or ad-tracking profiles
• ❌ Location: no GPS access, and no IP-based geolocation
• ❌ Contacts: your address book
• ❌ Photos, camera, or microphone content
• ❌ Browsing or search history
• ❌ Usage analytics: no clickstream, feature-usage statistics, or behavioral profiles
• ❌ Third-party analytics or crash SDKs: no Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Sentry, Mixpanel, or similar services

If you email us for support, we only see what you choose to include in your message.
