Privacy policy

Last updated 11 November 2026

This policy explains what information MehfoozDawa.pk ("we", "us", "the site") collects when you use the website at mehfoozdawa.pk, how it is used, and the choices you have. MehfoozDawa.pk is an independent information website and is not operated by the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) or any government body.

Summary

  • We do not ask for your name, phone number, CNIC or address to use any tool.
  • Camera images and photos you choose are processed on your own device and never uploaded.
  • To verify a pack, only the code details (GTIN, batch, serial number and expiry) are sent.
  • The site is funded by Google AdSense, which uses cookies to show and measure ads.

Information processed when you use the tools

Medicine scanner

When you scan a code or upload a photo, the image is read inside your browser. The camera feed and photos are not sent to us or stored. The decoded details, meaning the GTIN, batch number, serial number and expiry date, are sent to our server, which forwards them to DRAP's public track and trace system and returns the result to you. We do not link these requests to you, and we do not keep a history of what you scanned.

Recall search, price search and checklist

Medicine names, batch numbers and registration numbers you type into the recall or price search are sent to our server only to return search results. The fake medicine checklist runs entirely in your browser; your answers are not sent anywhere.

Contact by email

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and use them only to reply. We do not add you to any mailing list.

Server and security logs

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any website, our hosting provider processes technical data such as IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request, in order to deliver pages, keep the site secure and block abuse such as automated scraping of our tools. This data is handled under Cloudflare's own privacy policy and is not used by us to identify individual visitors.

Where the law requires it, for example for visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we use a consent message to ask for your permission before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used.
