Privacy Policy

Introduction

Meddy ("we", "our", or "the app") is a family health management app designed with privacy as a core principle. This policy explains what information we access, how it is used, and your rights.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, or have access to your personal health information. We have no servers that receive your medical records, appointments, metrics, photos, or documents. All health data you enter in Meddy exists exclusively in your personal iCloud account.

Non-Medical Data We May Retain

Separately from your health data, the app may retain a small amount of non-medical, on-device information necessary for functionality, such as your language preference. This information is not health data, is never linked to your medical records, and is not shared with any third party for advertising purposes. You may opt out of anonymized analytics data collection at any time in your device Settings.

How Your Data Is Stored

All app data — family member profiles, medical records, appointments, health metrics, and attachments — is stored in your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit technology. This data is encrypted by Apple and accessible only through your Apple ID. We cannot read, access, or recover your data under any circumstances.

Data is shared across your personal devices via iCloud sync. Meddy's Today Widget reads appointment data from a shared on-device container (App Group) so your upcoming appointments can appear on your Home Screen and Lock Screen without a network request.

Permissions We Request

• Calendar — To optionally add and manage appointments in your system Calendar app (Apple Calendar). We only write events you explicitly create in Meddy. We do not read your existing calendar events for any analytical purpose.
• Camera & Photo Library — To attach photos to family member profiles and medical records. Photos you select or capture are stored in your iCloud account as part of the record they are attached to.
• Notifications — To send you appointment reminders at times you configure. Reminder schedules are generated entirely on-device. We do not use push notification infrastructure that routes through our servers.
• Face ID / Touch ID — To optionally lock the app behind biometric authentication. Biometric data never leaves your device and is handled exclusively by Apple's LocalAuthentication framework.

You may revoke any of these permissions at any time in your device Settings. Revoking a permission only disables the associated feature; your data is not affected.

Third-Party Services

• Apple iCloud / CloudKit — Handles all data storage and sync. Subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.
• Apple App Store — Handles app distribution and in-app purchase transactions.
• RevenueCat — Processes subscription management and validates your purchase entitlements. RevenueCat may collect anonymized analytics related to subscription events (e.g., purchase, renewal, cancellation). It does not have access to your health data. Subject to RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

Data Security

Because all data lives in your iCloud account, its security is governed by your Apple ID security settings. We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID. We have no ability to recover your data if access to your Apple ID is lost.

Data Retention

Your data persists in iCloud for as long as you use Meddy and maintain iCloud storage. Deleting the app from all your devices and disabling iCloud sync for Meddy in Settings will remove app data from iCloud over time per Apple's data retention policies.

Your Rights

Since we do not hold your data, requests for access, correction, or deletion must be directed to Apple for iCloud data, and to RevenueCat for subscription records. You may contact us for guidance.

Children's Privacy

Meddy is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We will update this policy when features change or new permissions are introduced. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the app after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
