Privacy Policy

Effective date: 14 July 2026  •  Publisher: Ogun State Ministry of Health, developed with the Solina Centre for International Development and Research (SCIDaR).

This Privacy Policy explains how the Ogun EML mobile application and its administrative dashboard (together, the “Service”) handle information. By using the Service you agree to this policy.

1. Summary

Ogun EML is a reference tool for the Essential Medicines List. The mobile app requires no account and does not collect personal information. It works fully offline and connects to our servers only to download updates to the medicines catalogue.

2. Information we do not collect

• We do not require you to create an account or sign in to use the mobile app.
• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or location.
• We do not use advertising, and we do not embed third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.

3. Information stored on your device

• Your saved (bookmarked) medicines and recently-viewed history are stored only on your device. They are not transmitted to us and are removed if you uninstall the app or clear its data.
• Your theme (light/dark) and onboarding preferences are stored locally on your device.
• The medicines catalogue is stored locally so the app works without a network connection.

4. Network use

• When your device is online, the app contacts our catalogue server to check for and download a newer edition of the Essential Medicines List.
• These requests transmit only a catalogue version identifier; they do not include personal data.
• Standard technical information (such as your IP address) may be processed transiently by our hosting provider to deliver content, and is not used to identify you.

5. Administrative dashboard

The Ogun EML administrative dashboard is restricted to authorised Ministry personnel and requires a username and password. Credentials are used solely to control access to content-management functions and are not shared.

6. Permissions

The app uses network/internet access to download catalogue updates. It does not request access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, or files.

7. Children’s privacy

Ogun EML is a professional reference resource. It does not knowingly collect personal information from any person, including children.

8. Data security

Because the mobile app stores its data only on your device and collects no personal information, no personal data from app users is held on our servers. Administrative access is protected by authentication.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Effective date” above and, where appropriate, communicated within the app.
