Pill Be There is an iPhone app made by Small Useful Things Limited ("we", "us") in New Zealand. It helps you keep a list of your medicines, reminds you when to take them, and records the doses you confirm. In short: we don't collect your information. There is no account, and what you put in the app stays on your iPhone.
Your medicines and their details (names, doses, times, notes and what they look like), photos of labels and pills, the doses you record, reminder voice recordings and your settings. All of this is stored only on your iPhone. It is not sent to us, and we can't see it.
The camera is used only when you photograph a label or a pill. The microphone is used only when you record a reminder message. Face ID (or your passcode) is used only if you turn on the app lock. Face ID data is handled by iOS and is never available to the app or to us.
Reading a label, translating it and the optional AI tidy-up all happen on your iPhone, using Apple's built-in features. Label text is not sent to us. The first time you translate into a language, your iPhone may download a language pack from Apple; that download is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy.
Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone. They can show the medicine's name and photo on the lock screen; you can hide these in the app's settings.
If you use iCloud Backup or back up your iPhone to a computer, the backup may include the app's information. Those backups are controlled by you and by Apple, not by us.
We don't sell, share or rent any information. The app has no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and we have no servers that store your information.
Premium (a monthly or yearly subscription, with a free trial for new subscribers) is bought through Apple's App Store, and offer codes are redeemed through Apple too. Apple handles the payment, and we receive no personal information from Apple. The app only checks, on your iPhone, whether Premium is active. It also reads your App Store country on your iPhone to decide which features are offered where you are; this is not sent to us.
Deleting a medicine in the app removes its details, photos and recording; its past dose records stay in your history. Deleting the app removes everything it stored on your iPhone, but not copies in your backups.
The app isn't designed for children. If a parent or carer sets it up for a child, the information still stays on that iPhone.
If we change this policy, we'll post the new version on this page with a new date.
