Pillar is a medicine reminder and carer notification app for iOS developed by Breneer. "We", "us", and "our" refers to Pillar. "You" refers to the person using the app.
The following is entered by you and stored only on your iPhone or iPad using Apple's SwiftData framework. It never leaves your device except as described in Section 3.
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Medicine names, dosages, schedules | Core reminder functionality |
| Doctor names, phone, specialties | Reference and medical card |
| Your first name (optional) | Personalised greeting and carer verification |
| Dose logs (taken, missed, skipped) | History, adherence tracking, PDF export |
| Appointment dates and details | Calendar and notification scheduling |
| Medical conditions & allergies (optional) | Emergency card and PDF report |
| Proof photos (optional) | Personal records — stored locally only |
| Prescription photos (optional) | Reference and AI scanning |
If you enable Carer Push Alerts, the following is stored on Supabase servers:
Used solely to deliver missed-dose push notifications to your carer. No medicine names, dose history, or health data is stored on Supabase. Leave the household at any time to remove this data.
When you use AI auto-fill or scan a prescription, only the medicine name or label photo is sent to Groq's API. No personal data, dose history, or identity information is ever included. AI features are optional — all fields can be filled manually.
Dose reminder notifications are scheduled locally on your device using iOS's notification system — no notification content passes through our servers. Missed-dose alerts to carers are delivered via APNs using only your device token and display name (see Section 3).
The camera is used to scan a prescription label (photo sent to Groq AI — see Section 3) or take a proof-of-dose photo (stored locally, never uploaded). No photos are sent anywhere other than the AI scan feature described above.
Pillar requests contacts access solely to import a doctor's or carer's name and phone number when you tap "Import from Contacts". The app does not read, store, upload, or transmit your full contacts list.
If you enable Apple Health Sync in Settings, Pillar writes a dose-taken event to your Apple Health app each time you mark a dose as taken. Pillar does not read any data from Apple Health.
Pillar uses Apple's Multipeer Connectivity framework to broadcast real-time dose updates to other household members on the same Wi-Fi network. No data leaves your local network via this feature.
Pillar is rated 4+ on the App Store. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. It contains no advertising, no social features, and no in-app purchases targeted at children.
