MedXpiryTracker is an iOS app developed by Nitin Ramachandran ("we", "us", or "our"). The app helps you track medicine expiry dates using on-device text recognition, local notifications, and optional photo attachments.
We do not collect, transmit, or share any of the following with us or any third party:
All data you enter into MedXpiryTracker — including medicine names, expiry dates, and any photos you choose to attach — is stored exclusively on your device inside the app's encrypted private storage (iOS Application Support). This data never leaves your device.
Photos are stored as compressed JPEG files alongside their medicine records. When you delete a medicine, its photo is deleted with it. Photos are not saved to your system photo library.
We do not use iCloud sync, third-party databases, or any remote server to store your information.
Scanning medicine labels: When you tap the Scan button, the camera is used to capture text from the medicine label. This processing is performed entirely on-device using Apple's Vision framework. Scanned images are not saved anywhere after the scan completes.
Attaching a photo to a medicine record: You may optionally attach a photo — taken with the camera or chosen from your photo library — to any medicine record before saving it. This photo is stored in the app's encrypted private storage on your device only. It is not uploaded to any server, not copied to your photo library, and is permanently deleted when the medicine record is deleted.
You can revoke camera or photo library access at any time in iOS Settings. Scanning and photo attachment features will be unavailable without the respective permission, but manual entry and all other features continue to work.
The app requests permission to send local notifications when you save your first medicine entry. Notifications are generated and delivered entirely by iOS — no data is sent to any external server to trigger them. Notification content describes only when a medicine is expiring; it does not include the medicine name. You can revoke notification permission at any time in iOS Settings.
The app lets you export your medicine records as a JSON file that you can save to Files or transfer via AirDrop. This export includes medicine names and dates but does not include photos. Photos are device-local attachments and are not part of any backup or export. The export file is protected with iOS's full-disk encryption while it is being created.
MedXpiryTracker does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, or tracking SDKs. There are no third-party trackers in the app.
MedXpiryTracker does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since no data is collected or transmitted, the app is safe to use regardless of age.
If we update this privacy policy, the revised version will be posted at this URL with an updated date at the top. As the app does not collect your contact information, we cannot notify you directly of changes.
