MyPillBox is a public reading site, not a patient portal or a place to store your medication history. The blank examples in our articles are for you to copy into your own private records. They are not submission forms.
Keep health details private
Do not enter personal medical information into website search, public comments or general correspondence. Choose storage and sharing arrangements that suit the sensitivity of your records and the people you have agreed may access them.
Website requests
Loading a website sends connection information to the systems that deliver it. This can include an IP address, the requested page, browser information and the time of the request. The site’s hosting and security systems may process this information to deliver pages and investigate technical problems. This page does not promise that browsing is anonymous.
Messages sent through the contact form
The contact form stores your message, the email address you provide and your name if you choose to include it in the site’s private editorial inbox. Submitting the form does not send an email to an outside mailbox. These details are used to review your enquiry. Please do not include medication lists, diagnoses, identity documents or other sensitive personal records.
Contact submissions are scheduled for deletion after 90 days. The daily WordPress cleanup removes eligible entries when scheduled tasks run; deletion may therefore occur after the exact 90-day boundary. To limit repeated submissions, the form uses a temporary hashed IP identifier for one hour. This form-specific identifier is separate from any connection information handled by the hosting and security systems.
Links to other services
Our articles link to sources and resources on other websites. Those services have their own privacy practices. Following a link takes you outside MyPillBox; review the destination’s policies before providing personal information.
Downloads and printed copies
If you copy a template into your own document, the completed record belongs in storage you control. Printing on a shared printer, using a shared cloud folder or forwarding a file can expose its contents to other people. Check the destination before adding private details.
We do not offer historical account recovery or a facility to retrieve records from the former MyPillBox service. See contact and help for the current communication arrangements.
Removing a message sooner
A site administrator can delete a contact submission before its scheduled cleanup. Use the contact form to identify the earlier message without repeating private health details. Messages are not made public or automatically sent to a marketing service.
