Privacy Policy
Effective Date: November 14, 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how Pedi Calc ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our Pedi Calc mobile application (the "Service").
We are committed to protecting your privacy and the privacy of any data you enter. Our philosophy is simple: Pedi Calc is a tool, not a data collection service. The calculations you perform are for your eyes only.
Summary: What You Need to Know
We designed Pedi Calc with privacy as a primary concern. Here are the key points:
- We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) like your name, email, or phone number.
- We do not collect, transmit, or store any Protected Health Information (PHI). All patient data (age, weight) and calculation results stay exclusively on your device.
- We do collect anonymous, non-personal analytics (like crash reports and feature usage) to improve the app's stability and functionality.
- The app is supported by ads, which may use device identifiers to show relevant (non-personalized or personalized) ads.
Information Collection and Use
Our Service is designed to function almost entirely on your device, minimizing any data transmission.
Data That Stays On Your Device (No PHI Collected)
Pedi Calc is a standalone, offline-first utility. Any and all information you enter for calculation purposes, including but not limited to:
- Patient age, weight, or height
- Drug dosages or calculations
- Equipment sizes
- Any data saved to "Recents" or "Favorites"
...is processed exclusively on your device. This data is never transmitted to us, stored on our servers, or shared with any third party. It remains in the app's private storage on your phone or tablet until you clear it or uninstall the app.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any PII to use the Service. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or precise geographic location.
Anonymous Analytics Data
To help us improve the Service, we use third-party analytics tools to monitor and analyze app usage. This helps us understand which features are most popular, identify and fix app crashes, and make informed decisions about future updates.
Google Analytics for Firebase
We use Google Analytics for Firebase to collect anonymous, aggregated data. This data is not linked to you personally and does not include any PHI. The information collected may include:
- Device Information: Such as your device model, operating system version, and mobile network information.
- Usage Data: Such as which screens you visit, which features you use, and the time you spend in the app.
- Crash Reports: Anonymized logs to help us diagnose and fix bugs.
This information is crucial for us to maintain and improve the app. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page.
Advertising
To support the development of Pedi Calc and keep it free for all users, our Service displays advertisements. These ads are delivered by our third-party advertising partners.
Google AdMob
We use Google AdMob as our advertising provider. AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier (like the IDFA on iOS or Google Advertising ID on Android) to serve ads. Depending on your device settings and location, this may include personalized ads based on your interests.
- We do not share any PII or PHI from the app (like calculation data) with Google or any advertising partner.
- For more information on how Google uses data from its ad services, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Opting Out of Personalized Ads
You can opt-out of personalized advertising by adjusting the settings on your mobile device.
- On iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking > and turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track".
- On Android: Go to Settings > Google > Ads > and select "Delete advertising ID".
Please note that you may still see ads, but they will not be tailored to your interests.
Data Security
The security of your data is a priority. Since all sensitive PHI remains on your device, the primary security measure is the physical and digital security of your device itself (e.g., using a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID).
For the anonymous analytics and ad-related data that is transmitted, we and our partners (like Google) use commercially acceptable means to protect it. However, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
Children's Privacy
Pedi Calc is a medical calculator intended for use by trained medical professionals and/or adult caregivers. This Service is not directed at or intended for use by anyone under the age of 13 ("Children").
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Data (which should not be possible through the app), please contact us. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected Personal Data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information from our records.
Links to Other Sites
Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us (e.g., links to medical journals, drug reference websites, or advertisements). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
Your Data Rights (GDPR/CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data. However, as we do not collect PII, most of these rights are not directly applicable. For example:
- Right to Access/Portability: We cannot provide you with a copy of your personal data because we do not collect or store it.
- Right to Deletion: We cannot delete your personal data because we do not have it. You can delete any data stored in the app (like "Recents" or "Favorites") at any time, or by uninstalling the app.
If you have questions about the anonymous analytics data, you can contact us, and you can also opt-out of personalized ads and limit analytics tracking via your device settings.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
