Privacy policy.
Covers pillcounted.com. Last updated September 27, 2026.
The short version: we keep your email so we can tell you about Pillcounted, plus anything you choose to tell us in the survey or ideas box. We don’t sell it, we don’t give it to advertisers, and you can remove it anytime at pillcounted.com/unsubscribe.
Who we are
Pillcounted is an independent medication app in development. You can reach us at pillcounted@gmail.com. This policy covers this website only. The Pillcounted app has its own privacy terms, shown inside the app.
What we collect, and why
- Waitlist. Your email address, the part of the page you signed up from, when you joined, and your place in line. We use it to email you about Pillcounted: a welcome email when you join, then launch news, beta invites, launch discounts and new features.
- Invite links. Your personal invite code, how many people joined with it, and, if you joined through someone else’s link, whose it was, so we can move them up the line. Your spot can be looked up with your code, which shows only the spot number and how many friends joined, never your email. To tell a genuine invite from someone inviting themselves, we keep the same scrambled one-way code described under “Abuse limits”.
- The optional survey. Your answers (who you manage medicines for, features you’d like, roughly how many medicines, and anything you type under “Other”), stored with your email. We use them to decide what to build.
- Feature ideas. The text you send in the ideas box. It isn’t linked to your email.
- The assistant demo. Your question, and the conversation so far, is sent to OpenAI to write the answer. Medication names are looked up in the FDA’s public openFDA database. We don’t store your questions or the answers. Please don’t include personal details.
- Abuse limits. To enforce things like the 3 free questions and to stop spam signups, we count requests using a scrambled one-way code made from your IP address. We don’t store the IP address itself, and the counts delete themselves automatically after between one hour and 30 days.
- On your device. The site saves a few settings in your browser: whether you’ve joined, when the signup popup may appear again, and how many free questions you’ve used. They stay on your device and are not sent to us. Our ad partner may also store cookies or similar data in your browser (see “Ads on this website”).
- Visitor counts. We may use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It uses no cookies and does not track you across other websites.
Ads on this website
This website shows ads from RichAds (Rich Partners) to help cover its costs. When you click on a page, an ad may open in a new tab or window. To show and measure ads, RichAds’ code runs on our pages and may collect your IP address, device and browser details, and set cookies or similar identifiers, under its own privacy policy. We don’t give RichAds your email, your survey answers, your ideas or your assistant questions. These ads are only on the website; ads in the Pillcounted app are covered by the app’s own privacy terms.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell or rent your information, and we don’t give your email, survey answers or anything you type on this site to advertisers.
Who handles it for us
- Cloudflare hosts the site, stores the waitlist and survey answers, and delivers our notification emails.
- OpenAI writes the assistant demo’s answers.
- Resend keeps our email list and delivers the welcome email, “you moved up” emails and our update emails. Unsubscribing, here or from any of those emails, takes you off both.
- RichAds shows the ads on this website, as described above.
- Google runs our Gmail inbox, where signup notifications arrive and where we write to you from.
How long we keep it
Your email and survey answers stay until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. Feature ideas are kept to guide development; ask and we’ll delete yours.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe anytime at pillcounted.com/unsubscribe. That removes your email, your invite code and your survey answers.
- Email pillcounted@gmail.com to see what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. You can also reply to any email we send.
Health information
This website gives general information, not medical advice. Please don’t send personal health details through the assistant, the survey or the ideas box.
Children
This website isn’t meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information. If you think a child has signed up, email us and we’ll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy we’ll update the date at the top, and tell people on the waitlist about any significant change before it takes effect.
