Google Play requires every app to publish a privacy policy at a public URL, whether or not it collects anything. This is that document.
The app collects nothing about you automatically. One thing leaves your device, and only when you deliberately ask for it: the message you type into the "Report a problem or request a feature" box. Everything below explains that one exception and the things stored on your own phone.
Nothing. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting, no tracking, and no server of ours anywhere. The app does not report that you opened it, what you looked up, or where you are.
The app has a "Report a problem or request a feature" button. If you type a message and tap Send, these things are transmitted, and nothing else:
| Your message | Exactly the text you typed |
| A name | Only if you choose to type one; the field is optional and may be left blank |
| App version | e.g. "1.2.0+7", so a bug can be matched to a build |
| Which screen | The condition you were viewing, or "general" |
It is delivered to a private Google Form belonging to the app's author, so Google processes it as the host of that form. Nothing is transmitted unless you tap Send. If you never use that button, the app transmits nothing, ever.
If the phone has no connection when you tap Send, the message is saved in the app's private storage on your device and re-sent the next time the app opens. It is deleted from the device once it has been sent.
On the website version there is no such queue: tapping Send opens the form itself in a new tab with your message already filled in, and you press Submit there. That is deliberate — a web browser cannot confirm whether the form accepted a silent submission, and the app will not tell you a report was sent when it cannot know.
Five things are saved on your own device, in the app's private storage:
| Favourites | Conditions you starred |
| Recent lookups | The last 50 conditions you opened |
| Unavailable brands | Trade names you marked as "the pharmacy didn't have it" |
| Prescribed counts | How often you have written each brand |
| Open counts | How often you have opened each condition, which ranks the "Most used" list |
| Text size | The text size you chose in Settings |
| Cautions expanded | Whether you left the cautions section open or folded |
| Unsent reports | Only if a Send failed; deleted once it goes through |
All of them are stored only on your device, are readable only by this app, and are deleted when you uninstall it. None is backed up to us, because there is no us to back up to.
The app never asks who the patient is. There is no name field, no date of birth, no identifier of any kind. Please do not type patient-identifying details into the report box — it is read by a person, and it is not a medical record.
The app contains health information — drug doses, guidelines, conditions. It does not collect health information about you or your patients.
The app is a professional reference for prescribers. It is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone.
The app requests no runtime permissions: no camera, microphone, location, contacts, or storage. It does declare the Android INTERNET permission, which is what makes the report-a-problem button possible. That permission is not used for anything else — the entire drug database ships inside the app and is read offline.
Google, and only as the host of the form your report is submitted to. There are no advertising networks, no analytics providers, and no SDKs that phone home in this version. Your data cannot be sold, because it is not collected.
If this ever changes, this document will be updated before that version is published, and the change will be described here rather than buried. That is what happened on 24 August 2026: an earlier version of this policy said the app "sends nothing anywhere" and had "no internet permission". That stopped being true when the report-a-problem button shipped, and this document is the correction.
