Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
1. Introduction
PediNex is a pediatric medication dosing calculator developed by Gwimed, a healthcare software company building tools for clinicians. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. This policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP No. 27/2022), and other applicable international privacy laws.
2. Summary
We respect your privacy. Here is the short version:
- ✓We do not collect personal information
- ✓We do not store patient data (only temporary calculation on your device)
- ✓We do not require account registration
- ✓We collect anonymous usage statistics to understand which medications are commonly used
- ✓We do not sell or share personal data
- ✓Patient weight and age stay on your device and are cleared when you close the app
3. What We Don't Collect
We believe in being upfront about privacy. Here's what we do not collect:
- No Personal Identifiable Information (PII) — We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any information that could identify you or your patients.
- No Patient Records — We do not store, transmit, or have access to any patient medical records.
- No Location Data — We do not access or track your GPS location.
- No Device Identifiers for User Tracking — We have disabled device ID tracking in our analytics.
- No Exact Patient Data — We do not collect exact weight or age values (only broad ranges for statistics).
- No Cookies — Our mobile app does not use cookies or web tracking technologies.
4. What We Collect
4.1 Calculation Data (Temporary, Device-Only)
When you use our dose calculator, you enter patient weight (in kg), patient age (in months), and selected medication and formulation. This information is:
- Processed entirely on your device (offline-first architecture)
- Used only to compute the appropriate medication dose
- Never stored on our servers
- Automatically cleared when you close the app or start a new calculation
- Not linked to any identifiable patient or user
4.2 Anonymous Usage Analytics
To improve our app and understand which medications are most commonly prescribed, we collect anonymous usage statistics using Mixpanel analytics:
What we track:
- Drug names (e.g., "Paracetamol", "Amoxicillin")
- Broad age groups (e.g., "infant", "toddler", "child") — not exact age
- Broad weight ranges (e.g., "10-15kg", "20-30kg") — not exact weights
- Route of administration and formulation types
- App usage patterns (screens viewed, searches performed)
Why this is not PHI (Protected Health Information):
- Drug names alone cannot identify patients
- We use broad buckets instead of exact values
- We have disabled device tracking — events are not linked to specific devices or users
- Events are independent — we cannot reconstruct patient histories
- No personal identifiers are collected or transmitted
4.3 Subscription Information
We use RevenueCat to manage premium subscriptions. RevenueCat receives anonymous device ID (for subscription validation), subscription status, and purchase history from Google Play Store. RevenueCat does not receive personal information. All payment processing is handled by Google Play Store.
5. How We Use Information
The limited information we process is used solely to:
- Calculate medication doses (offline, on-device)
- Display drug information (formulations, dosing guidelines)
- Understand medication usage patterns (to prioritize data updates)
- Improve app reliability (track errors, fix bugs)
- Manage subscriptions (validate premium access)
We do not use any information for:
- Advertising or marketing
- User profiling or identification
- Selling to third parties
- Tracking individual patients or healthcare providers
6. Data Sharing and Third Parties
