Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 29, 2026  ·  Effective: May 29, 2026

MediGlobe is an offline-first reference catalog for travelers. We collect no personal accounts, sell no data, and store sensitive health data exclusively on your device.

1. Who We Are

MediGlobe is an independent mobile application developed by David Pikalov (mediglobe@gmail.com). The app is published on Google Play and available as a standalone Android APK.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store or transmit:

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The following data is stored only on your device and never leaves it:

Sensitive medical fields (blood type, allergies, chronic conditions, emergency contact) are stored in the Android Keystore — the same secure hardware-backed storage used by banking apps. This data cannot be accessed by other apps and is never transmitted over the network.

MediGlobe makes network requests to the following services when the device is online:
