# Notice of Privacy Practices

> Track your facility's HIPAA § 164.520 NPP version acknowledgments in ImaraCare.

The **Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP)** tells residents and their representatives how your facility uses and discloses their protected health information (PHI). HIPAA § 164.520 requires covered entities to maintain a current NPP and document acknowledgment.

## Where to find it

Go to **Settings → Data → Notice of Privacy Practices**.

## Acknowledging the current version

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Data tab in Settings">
    Go to **Settings → Data**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Locate NPP section">
    The current ImaraCare NPP version and your last acknowledgment date are shown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and acknowledge">
    Click **Acknowledge NPP** (or **Re-acknowledge NPP** if already current) to record that your facility has reviewed the current version.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What is recorded

Each acknowledgment stores:

* NPP version number
* Timestamp of acknowledgment
* User who performed the acknowledgment

A full acknowledgment history is visible in the same section.

## When a new version is released

ImaraCare will show an **Action required** badge when a newer NPP version is available. Re-acknowledge as soon as practical to remain compliant.

<Note>
  NPP acknowledgment in ImaraCare is an internal compliance record. You are still responsible for distributing your facility's NPP to residents at or before their first service.
