Case Magic Privacy Policy
Effective date:
Case Magic collects only the information needed to run the service, never sells it, and protects health information as HIPAA requires.
1. Who we are and what this policy covers
Case Magic is a web application operated by Case Magic, LLC (“Case Magic,” “we,” “us”). It helps service providers vendored by California Regional Centers manage consumer records, staff, documentation and billing.
This policy explains how we handle information when you:
- visit our website or sign up for an account
- use the Case Magic application on a desktop or mobile device
- connect to Case Magic through our API or a sign-in provider
- contact us for support
Our role with client data. Our customers (“Clients”) are the organizations that subscribe to Case Magic. Clients decide what consumer records to enter and how to use them. For that data, we act as the Client’s service provider and, where HIPAA applies, as its business associate. The Client’s own privacy practices govern those records, and we handle them only as our agreement with the Client allows.
For account, billing and website information about the people who use Case Magic, we decide how it is used, and this policy describes those practices directly.
2. Information we collect
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Account information | Name, work email, job title, organization, role and permissions, password hash | You or your organization’s administrator |
| Client records (may include PHI) | Consumer names, Unique Client Identifiers (UCIs), dates of birth, service authorizations, case notes, attendance, uploaded files in Cloud Chart | Entered or uploaded by Client staff |
| Billing and eBilling data | Service units, rates, invoice data, Regional Center vendor numbers, files prepared for eBilling | Generated from Client records |
| Subscription payment data | Billing contact, plan, payment status | You; card details are handled by our payment processor, not stored by us |
| Sign-in provider data | Name, email, and a unique account ID from Google or Microsoft | The provider, with your permission |
| Messages and announcements | In-app messages between users, read status of system announcements | You and other users in your organization |
| Usage and device data | IP address, browser and device type, pages and tabs opened, timestamps, error logs | Collected automatically |
| Audit logs | Who viewed, created, changed, exported or deleted a record, and when | Collected automatically, as HIPAA requires |
| Support communications | Emails, call notes, screenshots you send | You |
We do not use client records for advertising, and we do not collect information from consumers directly unless a Client gives them access to the service.
3. How we use information
We use information to provide and protect the service, and for no unrelated purpose:
- Run the service: create accounts, sign you in, store and display records, keep several in-app tabs open at once, and sync your work across devices.
- Prepare billing: generate invoices, spreadsheets and eBilling files your organization submits to Regional Centers.
- Communicate: deliver in-app messages, send announcements about new features and scheduled maintenance, and answer support requests.
- Secure the service: authenticate users, detect suspicious activity, keep audit logs and investigate incidents.
- Improve the service: fix errors and measure feature use, relying on usage data that does not include record contents wherever possible.
- Meet legal duties: comply with HIPAA, state law, valid legal process and our contracts.
We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use client records to train artificial intelligence models.
4. Protected health information and HIPAA
When a Client is a HIPAA covered entity, we sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) before handling its protected health information (PHI). The BAA controls if it conflicts with this policy.
Under the BAA and the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules, we:
- use and disclose PHI only to provide the service, as the BAA permits, or as required by law
- limit staff access to the minimum necessary for support, maintenance or security work, and log that access
- apply administrative, physical and technical safeguards (see Section 8)
- require any subcontractor that handles PHI to sign its own BAA with equivalent protections
- report breaches of unsecured PHI to the Client without unreasonable delay, and no later than 60 days after discovery
- help the Client respond to individuals’ requests to access, amend or get an accounting of disclosures of their records
- return or destroy PHI when the agreement ends, where feasible
California confidentiality laws. Records of people served through Regional Centers are also confidential under the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Welfare and Institutions Code section 4514) and, for medical information, the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. We handle these records consistently with those laws and the Client’s instructions.
5. How we share information
We share information only in these situations:
- Within your organization. Users in the same Client account see records, messages and files according to the roles their administrator assigns.
- Regional Centers and DDS. When your organization submits billing, the eBilling files and related data go to the Regional Center or Department of Developmental Services systems your organization chooses.
- Service providers. Vendors that host our servers, store backups, send email or process payments handle data on our behalf under written contracts, and under a BAA whenever PHI is involved.
- Integrations you turn on. If your organization connects another application through our API, we share the data that connection is authorized to access (see Section 7).
- Legal requirements. We disclose information when required by law, subpoena or court order, or to protect someone’s safety. Where allowed, we notify the affected Client first.
- Business transfers. If Case Magic, LLC is merged or sold, information may transfer to the new owner, which must honor this policy and any BAA in effect.
We do not sell or rent personal information to anyone.
6. Signing in with Google or Microsoft
You can sign in with a Google or Microsoft account instead of a Case Magic password. We use the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect standards for this.
- We request only your name, email address and a unique account identifier.
- We never see or store your Google or Microsoft password.
- We do not read your email, files, calendar or contacts in those accounts.
- Your organization’s administrator decides which sign-in methods are allowed and can require multi-factor authentication.
Google’s and Microsoft’s own privacy policies govern what those companies collect when you sign in with them. You can remove Case Magic’s access at any time from your Google or Microsoft account settings; you will then need another sign-in method.
7. API and third-party integrations
Case Magic offers an API so Clients can connect other systems. An organization administrator must approve each connection.
- Every API client is authorized through OAuth 2.0 with scopes that limit which data it can read or change.
- API traffic is encrypted in transit and recorded in the same audit logs as activity in the app.
- Administrators can see and revoke active connections at any time.
- A third-party application that receives PHI through the API is the Client’s responsibility to vet, including obtaining any BAA the Client needs with that vendor.
We are not responsible for how an outside application handles data after your organization authorizes it to receive that data.
8. How we protect information
We follow the HIPAA Security Rule and review our safeguards through a regular risk assessment. Our safeguards include:
- Encryption: TLS 1.2 or higher for all traffic; encryption at rest for databases, uploaded files and backups.
- Access control: unique user accounts, role-based permissions, optional or required multi-factor authentication, and automatic sign-out after 30 minutes of inactivity.
- Separation: each Client’s data is logically separated so users can reach only their own organization’s records.
- Audit logging: record views, changes, exports and sign-ins are logged and retained for at least six years.
- Staff controls: background checks, HIPAA training, confidentiality agreements and least-privilege access for our team.
- Resilience: encrypted backups, tested restore procedures and a written incident response plan.
No system is perfectly secure. If you believe your account or data has been compromised, contact us right away at security@casemagic.net.
9. Cookies and local storage
Case Magic uses only the cookies and browser storage needed to run the service. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
| Type | Purpose | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Keeps you signed in and protects against cross-site request forgery | Until you sign out or the session expires |
| Preference storage | Remembers display settings and which in-app tabs you had open | Until you clear it or sign out |
| Sign-in state | Completes Google or Microsoft sign-in securely | Minutes |
We do not store PHI in cookies or in your browser’s local storage. Blocking these cookies will prevent you from signing in. Our public website may use Google Analytics; it is never loaded inside the application.
10. How long we keep information
We keep information only as long as the service, the law or our agreements require.
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Client records and files | For the life of the subscription, then returned or deleted within 60 days of the Client’s request or contract end |
| Backups | Deleted on a rolling 7-day cycle |
| Audit logs | At least six years, as HIPAA documentation rules require |
| Billing and invoice records | 5 years, for tax and accounting obligations |
| Account and support records | Up to 2 years after the account closes |
Clients remain responsible for keeping consumer records as long as their own legal obligations and Regional Center contracts require. We can export a Client’s records before deletion on request.
11. Your rights and choices
If a provider holds your records. If you or your family member receive services from a Case Magic Client, that provider controls your records. Send requests to see, correct or get copies of records, or to learn who received them, to the provider directly. If you contact us, we will forward your request to the provider and help it respond.
