Effective Date: April 16, 2026
Sendosha LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), operating as Empcare, is committed to protecting the privacy and security of all information collected through the Empcare care home management platform (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and your rights regarding your data.
Given the nature of our Service, we handle highly sensitive personal information including protected health information, Social Security Numbers, and other confidential records. We take this responsibility seriously and have implemented safeguards designed to meet or exceed applicable federal and state requirements.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect and process the following categories of information through the Service:
| Data Category | Types of Information |

We collect this information when Subscribers or their authorized users input it into the Service. We do not collect information directly from patients. All patient data is entered by care home operators (our Subscribers) or their authorized staff.
2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use the information collected through the Service for the following purposes:
- Service delivery: To provide, maintain, and improve the Empcare platform and its features
- Documentation management: To generate, store, synchronize, and manage care home documentation including patient records, caregiver files, facility records, LIC forms, and admission forms
- Account management: To manage Subscriber accounts, process payments, and provide customer support
- Communication: To send service-related notifications, updates, and respond to inquiries
- Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal obligations
- Security: To detect, prevent, and respond to security incidents, fraud, or technical issues
We do NOT use your information for: advertising or marketing to third parties, selling or renting data to any third party, automated decision-making or profiling of patients, or any purpose unrelated to the operation of the Service.
3. INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating the Service (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processing), subject to contractual obligations to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other governmental request
- Safety: We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of any person or to prevent illegal activity
- Business transfer: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of Sendosha LLC, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy
We will notify affected Subscribers before any material change in how their data is shared.
4. DATA SECURITY
Given the highly sensitive nature of the information we process, we implement the following security measures:
- Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher) and at rest using industry-standard encryption algorithms
- Access controls: Role-based access control (RBAC) ensures that users only see information appropriate to their role (e.g., caregivers see different data than care managers)
- Authentication: Secure authentication mechanisms protect account access
- Infrastructure: Data is stored on secure, access-controlled infrastructure with regular security monitoring
- SSN protection: Social Security Numbers receive additional protections including restricted access, encryption at rest, and access logging
- Incident response: We maintain procedures for detecting, responding to, and reporting security incidents
While we implement commercially reasonable security measures, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to promptly notifying affected parties in the event of a data breach in accordance with applicable law.
5. DATA RETENTION
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Upon termination of a Subscriber's account:
- Data export: Subscribers may request an export of all their data in a standard, machine-readable format within thirty (30) days of termination
