Privacy Concerns

What Data is Collected

MedKid collects usage activity and crash diagnostics through Sentry and Firebase. No account registration is required, so user names, email addresses, or other personal identifiers are not collected during normal use. Google ML Kit and Google Play Services provide on-device functionality and do not send personal information to external servers.

Third-Party Data Sharing

Usage activity and crash reports are shared with Sentry for error monitoring and Firebase for analytics. None of the third-party services used by this app receive user data for advertising or marketing purposes.

Understanding the Scores

• Security: 58/100
• Privacy: 62/100
• Data Security: 48/100
• Network Security: 92/100
• Code Safety: 94/100
• Data Collection: 100/100
• Data Sharing: 100/100
• User Control: 100/100

Positive Security Features

• No account or login required, which keeps the amount of personal information the app can collect to a minimum
• Network communications are well-protected, keeping data safe as it travels between the device and external services
• The app's code reflects careful, safety-conscious development practices

Areas for Improvement

• The way data is saved locally on the device falls short of current best practices and warrants caution if the app is used on a shared device or in a professional setting.
• One network connection uses a configuration that falls short of current best practices, though overall communication security remains strong.
• Addressing local data storage protections would significantly raise the overall safety profile of this app.
