Privacy Policy — MyDoseLog (جرعاتي)

English

What data does MyDoseLog collect about you?

None for us. The developer (Hashem Alsaggaf) does not collect, transmit, or receive any of your data. There are no servers we run. There is no account to create with us.

The app stores ONLY the information YOU type into it:

• Patient names + optional photos
• Carb ratio, correction factor, target sugar, active insulin duration
• Meal records (date, time, weight, carbs, insulin, blood sugar, notes, photo)
• Correction doses and correction meals (Pro)
• Time-based ratio profiles (Pro)
• Custom food library entries you add or edit
• Reminder preferences (sensor install date, pump install date, quiet hours, etc.) — v1.5.0
• Theme preference and language choice

Where is your data stored?

1. Locally on your device — in the app's private sandboxed storage. This is the primary copy.
2. iCloud (Apple), if you're signed in — the app uses Apple's CloudKit framework to sync your data between YOUR devices on the same Apple ID, and to share patient data with family members you explicitly invite (CKShare).

Your iCloud data lives in your own private iCloud database. The developer cannot see it. We do not have any way to read your patients, meals, photos, or any other data.

iCloud Sync (v1.3.x and later)

When you're signed in to iCloud in iOS Settings, MyDoseLog automatically syncs your data between all your devices on the same Apple ID (iPhone ↔ iPad). This is handled by Apple's CloudKit framework — the data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple, and it lives in your own private iCloud database. You can disable iCloud sync from iOS Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → MyDoseLog.

Family Sharing of Patients (CKShare, v1.3.1+)

The "Family Share" feature lets you share a patient's full card (including meals and time profiles) with someone else (e.g. another parent). This is handled by Apple's CKShare:

• You generate a share link from inside the app.
• You forward the link via iMessage, WhatsApp, email — your choice.
• The recipient (on a different Apple ID) accepts the share. Their device then sees and edits the patient through Apple's iCloud shared database.
• You can revoke the share at any time from Settings → Family Share.

The share is private between you and your invited members. No third party (including the developer) can read it.

AirDrop / WhatsApp file sharing

When you choose "Share Meals" via AirDrop, a .dose file is transferred peer-to-peer between two nearby devices without going through any server. Sharing via WhatsApp transfers the file through WhatsApp's own infrastructure (governed by WhatsApp's privacy policy).

Local Notifications (v1.4.0+)

The app schedules four types of LOCAL reminders on your device:

• Post-meal blood-sugar check
• Active insulin (IOB) expiry
• Sensor expiry (when configured)
• Pump / pod / reservoir expiry (when configured)

These are scheduled via Apple's UNUserNotificationCenter and fire on your device only. They do not transmit anything off the device.

In-App Purchases (Pro)

MyDoseLog offers a one-time Pro upgrade via Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment. The developer never sees your credit card, name, or Apple ID. Apple gives the app a signed entitlement to unlock Pro features; that's it.

Camera and Photo Library access

Camera: Used only when you tap "Camera" to take a meal photo.
Photo Library: Used only when you tap "From Library" to pick an existing photo.

Both run locally. Photos you add are stored in the app's sandboxed Documents folder, synced through iCloud the same way as the rest of your data.

Health Data / HealthKit

MyDoseLog does NOT access Apple Health or HealthKit. It does not read or write to any health framework. The blood sugar and insulin values you enter are stored only inside the app's own storage.

Analytics, ads, and third-party SDKs

None. MyDoseLog contains no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, no crash reporter (e.g. no Firebase, no Mixpanel, no Sentry, no Facebook SDK, no Google SDK), and no third-party tracking. The only outside services involved are Apple's own iCloud and StoreKit, both governed by Apple's privacy policies.

Children's privacy

MyDoseLog is intended to be used by parents or caregivers of diabetic patients. It does not knowingly collect data from anyone since it does not collect data at all. The "kids themes" added in v1.5.0 are purely cosmetic — they change colours and add cartoon emoji backgrounds, with zero data-collection implication.

Deleting your data

• You can delete individual patients, meals, correction doses, and food-library entries from inside the app at any time.
• Settings → "Erase all iCloud data" wipes every patient + meal + photo from this device AND from iCloud across every device on your Apple ID.
• Uninstalling the app removes the local copy.
• Apple's iCloud retention rules apply to the iCloud copy.

Changes to this policy

If anything changes, this document will be updated and the effective date above will change.
