Breach of privacy
 

I am an attendant with one client, and once when I used the app. it displayed two employees and 5 clients on my screen, and listed their names and contact information.  I was actually able to call the numbers listed.  This isn't just a breach of privacy, it violates HIPPA  by disclosing disabled individuals' medical information to complete strangers.
