Location information is not shared with third parties and is used strictly to improve the accuracy of nearby disposal center recommendations.

• If enabled, users may be asked to grant SMS permission to receive one-time passwords (OTP) via SMS.
• SMS access will be used strictly for verification purposes only.
• PillBin will not read, store, or share personal SMS messages.
• SMS permissions will be requested only when this feature is actively implemented and required.

Data Security

We take user privacy seriously and apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption, restricted access, and regular security monitoring.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
