Prototype: still in development SIMBA is not up and running yet. This website and the web app are an early test version that we are still building. Program rules, clinics, alerts, and contacts are examples that have not been reviewed by lawyers or translators. Don't use SIMBA to make health, insurance, or immigration decisions.

Our privacy promise

This is the same promise you see in the app.

Sample text: needs legal review before launch.

Your information stays on your phone

SIMBA never asks for your name, address, Social Security number, or immigration papers.
Your answers are saved only on this phone, and they are locked with encryption.
There is no account and no password. In this version, nothing is sent to us.
You can delete everything with one tap, at any time.

California protects Medi-Cal information

California law says information you give Medi-Cal must be kept confidential.
It may be used only for purposes connected to running Medi-Cal.
If you have questions about your own situation, a trusted navigator or legal aid group can help.

We do not share with immigration enforcement

SIMBA is made by Lionheart Health Alliance, a community health organization. We are not the government.
We do not share information with immigration enforcement or any other agency.
In this version, your answers never leave your phone, so there is nothing to share.
SIMBA gives general information, not legal advice.

In this version, nothing you enter is sent to us or anyone else. No ads. No trackers.
We never share information with immigration enforcement.
You can delete everything in the app with one tap.
