Is Sound Safari HIPAA Compliant?

Sound Safari is a clinical practice tool designed for individual therapists and parents. It is not HIPAA compliant and we do not offer a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).

What this means:

- Sound Safari is appropriate for private practice, independent therapists, and home use

- If you work in a hospital, school district, or organization that requires HIPAA compliance, consult your compliance officer before using Sound Safari with patient data

Privacy protections built in:

- All data is stored locally on your device or in your personal iCloud account

- We cannot access your student data

- No data is sent to external servers (except anonymous homework practice scores)

- No analytics tracking that identifies users

Best practices for clinical settings:

- Use student initials or first names only (not full names)

- Avoid entering sensitive health information in notes fields

- Use your organization's approved tools for official clinical documentation

- Sound Safari's SOAP notes and reports are intended as clinical aids, not official medical records
