Trust & Privacy

Built for healthcare-grade privacy

Senior Navigator is designed so employees can plan care for a family member without anyone at work knowing — including their employer.

Your employees' information is never shared with you

Employers receive only aggregate, anonymized usage data — total sessions, completion rates, and general engagement metrics. No individual-level data is ever included in employer reporting.

Specifically, the employer never receives:

  • Individual employee names or identifiers
  • Whether a specific employee used the tool
  • Assessment answers or care plan results
  • Health information about the employee or their family member
  • Financial information, income, assets, or insurance details
  • Chat conversations with the AI advisor
  • Contact request details or advisor consultation records

There is no mechanism for an employer to access individual employee data — it does not exist in the reporting system. This is by design, not by policy.

HIPAA-compliant by design

Data encryption

All data in transit encrypted via TLS 1.2+. Data at rest encrypted with AES-256 through AWS RDS and S3 managed encryption keys.

Access control

Role-based access with method-level authorization. Secrets and credentials managed through AWS Secrets Manager — never stored in application code.

Infrastructure

Hosted on AWS us-east-1. PostgreSQL on RDS with automated backups. VPC network isolation with security groups restricting all inbound access.

Authentication

AWS Cognito identity management with OAuth2/PKCE authorization flow. JWT token validation on every request. Session cookies are HttpOnly and Secure.

No account required to get started

Employees can complete the Guided Care Plan and view their Cost Estimate without creating an account — no email, no name, no login. A secure anonymous session tracks their progress automatically.

The Care Funding Planner — which involves entering sensitive financial details like income, assets, and insurance — requires a free account. This protects that information with a secure login. Requesting an advisor consultation also requires an account, since the advisor needs a way to follow up.

When an account is needed, employees can sign in with Google, Apple, or Facebook — or create one with just an email address. There's no separate username or password to remember.

At no point does creating an account notify the employer or share any information with them. The employer has no visibility into whether an employee created an account, what they entered, or whether they used the tool at all.

What data is collected and how it's used

What is collected

  • Assessment answers about a family member's care needs (cognition, mobility, daily living activities, safety)
  • Financial inputs for cost and funding projections (income, assets, insurance, VA eligibility)
  • ZIP code for location-adjusted cost estimates
  • Chat messages with the AI care advisor
  • Basic account information (email or social login identity) — only if the employee creates an account for financial planning or advisor consultation

How it's used

  • Generating a personalized care plan and care type recommendation
  • Calculating location-specific cost estimates
  • Building a financial projection showing how long funding covers care
  • Providing contextual responses through the AI care advisor
  • Preparing background for a human advisor consultation (if requested)

How your information is NOT used

  • Never shared with your employer at an individual level
  • Never sold to lead aggregators or marketing platforms
  • Never used for advertising or unsolicited outreach
  • Never shared with insurance companies or government agencies without your consent

Who built this

Senior Navigator is built by Concierge Care Advisors, a senior care advisory firm founded in 2009 by industry veterans who helped define the senior care placement category in Washington State. The founding team has personally overseen thousands of care transitions and built the company's practices into the model for Washington's landmark senior placement regulation HB 1494.

The platform brings that same methodology online — informed by a physician advisory board for clinical accuracy and designed by a healthcare technology executive whose career spans clinical nursing, health insurance, and large-scale digital product development. The care planning methodology is patent-pending.
