1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how MediTime Health Apps ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies in our medication timer application. It's important to understand that MediTime operates primarily as a Progressive Web App (PWA) that stores information locally on your device for functionality purposes only.
Privacy-First Design: MediTime is designed to protect your privacy. The app stores medication timing and dosing information locally on your device only. This information is never transmitted to our servers or the internet unless you specifically choose to share it with us (such as when contacting support).
2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your computer or mobile device when you visit a site. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the site owners.
For Progressive Web Apps like MediTime, we primarily use browser storage technologies rather than traditional cookies:
- localStorage: A web technology that allows the app to store data on your device with no expiration date. This data remains even after closing your browser.
- IndexedDB: A more powerful browser-based storage system that allows larger amounts of structured data to be stored locally.
- Cache Storage: Used by our service worker to store app resources for offline functionality.
These storage mechanisms enable MediTime to function properly without requiring constant internet connectivity.
3. Our Approach to Data Storage
All medication and user data remains securely on your device
No medication data is ever transmitted to our servers
The only data that leaves your device is anonymous usage statistics (with no personal or medication information) and any information you voluntarily provide when contacting support.
4. What We Store Locally
MediTime stores the following information locally on your device:
- Medication Dosage Records: Times when medications were administered, including timestamps
- Family Member Profiles: Names and identifiers for each person you're tracking
- Medication Types: Information about Paracetamol and Ibuprofen doses
- Application Preferences: Such as light/dark mode settings
- Purchase Verification: For MediTime Pro users, confirmation of purchase
This information is essential for the core functionality of MediTime - tracking medication dosage times safely for you and your family members.
5. How We Protect Your Privacy
MediTime is specifically designed with privacy as a priority:
- No Data Transmission: Medication timing data and family information stored in local storage is never sent to our servers or any third parties.
- No Account Required: MediTime works without requiring account creation or sign-in.
- Offline Functionality: After installation, the app functions completely offline with all data stored locally.
- Minimal Analytics: We collect only anonymous, aggregated usage data that contains no personal or medication information.
Why This Matters: By keeping all medication data exclusively on your device, we ensure maximum privacy for potentially sensitive health-related information. Even if our servers were compromised, your medication data would remain secure because it's simply not on our servers at all.
6. Managing Your Local Storage
Since all medication data is stored locally on your device, you have direct control over it:
To View or Clear Your MediTime Data:
- For Mobile Devices:
- Open your browser settings
- Navigate to Site Settings or Privacy
- Find "Storage" or "Site Data"
- Look for MediTime and view or clear the data
- For Desktop Browsers:
- Open browser developer tools (usually F12 or right-click and select "Inspect")
- Navigate to Application or Storage tab
- Expand Local Storage and IndexedDB sections
- Find the MediTime entries to view or clear
Warning: Clearing your local storage or browser data will erase all medication timing history and settings in the MediTime app. This action cannot be undone. If you use the app for important medication tracking, consider making a manual record of important dosage information before clearing data.
7. Cookies on Our Website
While the MediTime app itself primarily uses local storage (not traditional cookies) to store medication data, our website (meditime.uk) may use a limited number of cookies for basic functions:
- Essential Cookies: Required for basic website functionality
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand visitor patterns (anonymized)
- Preference Cookies: Remember basic settings like dark/light mode
You can manage these website cookies through your browser settings at any time. However, these website cookies are entirely separate from the local storage used within the MediTime application itself.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
You are advised to review this Cookie Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Cookie Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
