Privacy Policy
Effective July 8, 2026 · Applies to Hellopill for Android · An Apps By Quillheart product
The short version: Hellopill works offline. Your medication data stays on your device. We do not collect it, transmit it, sell it, or see it. No accounts, no ads, no analytics on your health data.
Your data stays on your device
Everything you enter in Hellopill — medication names, dosages, quantities, schedules, notes, photos, appointments, and dose history — is stored locally on your device only. The app has no server, no cloud sync, and no account system. We have no access to your data and no ability to view, recover, or delete it.
What we do not collect
- No personal identifiers (name, email, phone number)
- No health or medication data
- No location data
- No contacts, files, or browsing data
- No advertising identifiers — the app contains no ads and no third-party ad SDKs
Permissions and why the app asks for them
- Notifications — to display dose reminders.
- Exact alarms — so reminders fire at the precise times you set.
- Camera (optional, on demand) — only if you choose to attach a photo of a medication. Photos are stored locally and the camera is used only at the moment you take the picture.
- Run at startup — to re-register your alarms after the device restarts.
- File access via the system picker (optional) — only when you use Backup, Restore, or Export; files are saved where you choose.
Purchases
The optional one-time unlock is processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We receive a standard, non-identifying purchase confirmation from Google and never see your payment details. Google's handling of payment information is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
Crash and diagnostic data
Google Play may provide us with aggregate, anonymized crash reports and app vitals generated by the Android platform (such as stack traces and device model). These contain no medication data and are used only to fix defects. The app itself embeds no third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.
Backups and exports are yours
Backup files and text exports you create are ordinary files under your control. Treat them as sensitive: anyone with access to the file can read your medication list. We never receive these files.
Children
Hellopill is intended for use by adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children (the app does not collect information from anyone).
Data retention and deletion
Your data persists on your device until you delete it in the app or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes all locally stored app data. Backup files you created separately remain wherever you saved them.
Security
Data is stored in the app's private storage area, protected by Android's application sandbox. Device-level security such as a screen lock and device encryption further protects your data; keeping those enabled is recommended.
Changes to this policy
If the app's data practices ever change, this policy will be updated and the effective date revised before the change takes effect. Material changes will be highlighted in the app's release notes.
