Privacy policy for iPhone.

Binding information on how the RemMedy app for iOS handles personal data – under Art. 13/14 GDPR.

Last updated:

1. Overview

This privacy policy covers the RemMedy iOS app for iPhone, including its widgets, Live Activities and shortcuts. The Android app has its own privacy policy.

In short: RemMedy stores all health data only locally and encrypted on your iPhone. We run no servers this data is sent to. There is no user account, no cloud sync by us, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking SDKs. The app makes no network requests of its own; only the optional premium purchase runs through Apple's App Store.

2. Controller

The controller within the meaning of Art. 4(7) GDPR is:

Data protection officer

Appointing a data protection officer is not required under § 38 BDSG and Art. 37 GDPR (sole proprietorship without employees; health data stays on users' devices). Please send privacy requests directly to remmedy@70six.de.

3. Data the app stores on your iPhone

The following data is created while you use the app and stored only locally on your iPhone. It is never sent to us or to third parties:

  • Medications including name, dosage, intake times and stock.
  • Intake logs (taken, skipped, missed, undone).
  • Measurements and custom measurement types (e.g. blood pressure, blood glucose, pulse, weight, temperature).
  • Diary entries, injection logs and injection sites.
  • Appointments, contact details of your doctors and vacation periods – if you enter them.
  • Progress, achievements and the history of your companion's messages.
  • App settings (e.g. times, reminders, companion).

The data lives in a local database inside the protected app container. So that the widgets can show the same data, the app and its widgets share a container (App Group) on your device. The database is encrypted with iOS hardware-backed Data Protection (protection class "until first user authentication"); the companion message history uses the strictest class and can only be read while your iPhone is unlocked.

This data belongs to the "special categories of personal data" under Art. 9(1) GDPR (health data). We have no access to it. The legal basis for storing it locally is your use of the app (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and your explicit consent by entering it (Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR).

4. Device backups (iCloud or computer)

RemMedy itself syncs nothing to the cloud. If you have turned on iCloud Backup for your iPhone, or you back up your iPhone to a Mac or PC, iOS includes RemMedy's data in that backup – just like the data of other apps. This way your data survives a switch to a new device.

You manage these backups yourself; we have no access to them. Apple encrypts iCloud backups, end to end with Advanced Data Protection for iCloud. Computer backups can be encrypted with a password. If you do not want RemMedy data in iCloud, you can exclude RemMedy under "Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Storage → Backups" or turn off iCloud Backup. Apple's processing is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.

5. Apple Health (optional)

If you turn on "Sync with Apple Health" in the settings and allow access in the iOS dialog, RemMedy also writes new measurements to the Health app and can take over values from Health. Only these data types are involved: blood pressure (systolic/diastolic), blood glucose, heart rate, body temperature and weight.

The exchange happens only on your iPhone, between RemMedy and the Health app. Data from Apple Health is never sent to us or to third parties and is not used for advertising, marketing or analytics. Whether Apple syncs your Health data to iCloud depends on your settings in the Health app. You can revoke access at any time in the Health app under "Sharing → Apps → RemMedy" or under "Settings → Apps → Health → Data Access & Devices".

Legal basis: your explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.

6. Notifications, widgets, Live Activities and shortcuts

  • Notifications: Reminders are scheduled locally on your iPhone (no push servers). They can contain medication names, dosage and times and – depending on your iOS settings – may be visible on the lock screen. Under "Settings → Notifications → Show Previews" you can hide their content while your iPhone is locked. You can turn reminders off in RemMedy or in the iOS settings at any time.
  • Widgets and Live Activities: They show your next dose or measurement on the home screen, lock screen or in the Dynamic Island. Their content is created locally. You can turn off Live Activities under "Settings → Apps → RemMedy".
  • Shortcuts and Siri: The shortcuts only open the Today overview or the measurement entry. RemMedy passes no health data to Siri. If you use Siri by voice, Apple processes your speech under its own terms.

None of these features sends data to us.

7. Premium purchase through the App Store

The optional premium version is a one-time purchase (no subscription). Purchases and restoring purchases are handled entirely by Apple's App Store. We receive no payment data and no data that identifies you. The app only receives a signed proof of purchase from Apple, which it checks locally to unlock premium.

Apple's processing is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract).

8. No tracking SDKs, no analytics, no advertising

RemMedy contains no tracking or analytics SDKs, no advertising, no advertising identifier (IDFA) and no third-party crash reporters. The app makes no network requests of its own.

If you have turned on "Share With App Developers" under "Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements", Apple provides us with anonymized crash reports and aggregated usage statistics. These contain no health data from the app and do not identify you. You can turn this option off at any time.

9. Exporting your data

With premium you can export measurements and your intake history as PDF or CSV, e.g. for a doctor's appointment. The file is created locally and only leaves your iPhone if you share it yourself through the share sheet with another app or person. From then on, the recipient's terms apply.

10. Deleting data

You can delete measurements, measurement types and medications in the app at any time. Medications can also be archived and restored later; when you delete a medication for good, the app also removes its intakes and reminders.

To delete all data, delete the app from your iPhone. iOS then also removes the widgets' data. Values you wrote to Apple Health are managed in the Health app; copies in device backups disappear once those backups are deleted or replaced. We hold no server-side copy that would also need deleting.

11. The website remmedy.70six.de

Visiting this website is covered by section 9 of the general privacy policy: server log files kept for at most 14 days, self-hosted fonts, no cookies and no analytics.

12. Your rights under the GDPR

Because we store no personal data centrally, all data is with you anyway. Formally you have these rights:

  • Access (Art. 15) – we hold no central data.
  • Rectification (Art. 16) – directly in the app.
  • Erasure (Art. 17) – in the app or by deleting the app.
  • Restriction of processing (Art. 18).
  • Data portability (Art. 20) – through the PDF/CSV export.
  • Withdrawal of consent (Art. 7(3)), e.g. for Apple Health.
  • Objection to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21).
  • Complaint to a supervisory authority (Art. 77). The authority responsible for us is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany – www.lda.bayern.de. You can also contact the authority where you usually live.

13. Children and young people

RemMedy is not designed for users under 16. Minors should only use the app with the consent of a parent or guardian.

14. International transfers

We make no transfers to third countries. Apple may process data outside the EU for App Store purchases, iCloud backups or Siri; the Apple Privacy Policy has the details.

15. Not a medical device

RemMedy is an organizational tool and not a medical device under EU Regulation 2017/745. The app does not replace medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

16. Changes to this privacy policy

We update this privacy policy when legal requirements or the app change. The current version is always available at this URL; the date at the top shows the last revision.
