Share what partners need to act — without creating privacy or governance risk.
Health departments, partner agencies, and community organizations need to share enough information to coordinate and report — without standing up a new data system or taking on legal risk. Hub starts with what's safe today: privacy-respecting reach and engagement reporting, verified-source coordination, and governance-aware research partnerships.
Start with what's live and safe today — privacy-respecting reporting and verified-source coordination — and scope deeper data sharing with your governance team.
Coordinated decisions need shared information. Sharing it safely is the hard part.
Data-driven decision-making across a region runs into the same barriers everywhere:
- Information is trapped in silos — each agency and partner holds part of the picture.
- Privacy, legal, and governance risk makes teams cautious about sharing anything at all.
- Funders want reporting — programs have to show reach and outcomes without a heavy lift.
- No one wants another surveillance system — or the liability of a new data broker in the middle.
What Hub supports today.
Reach & engagement reporting
Portal by Hub gives agencies basic reach and engagement reporting you can share with partners and funders — how guidance is reaching residents across channels and languages.
Multilingual public reach
Verified guidance delivered in 50+ human-reviewed languages, so the information you share actually reaches the communities it's meant for.
Verified-source coordination
A shared public layer built on official sources — CDC, NWS (NOAA), FDA, USDA, and local agencies — so partners coordinate from the same verified information.
Governance-aware research partnerships
Hub collaborates with the University of Arizona on research with established data-governance protocols — a model for sharing insight responsibly.
What this is — and what it isn't.
Here's exactly what we do — and what we don't.
What it is:
- Privacy-respecting reach and engagement insight.
- A shared, multilingual public layer partners can coordinate around.
- Governance-first collaboration, including research data partnerships.
What it isn't:
- Not a health information exchange (HIE) or an EHR.
- Not a surveillance system and not a data broker.
- No ads, no tracking, no data sales — ever.
Controlled data exchange between agencies is a governance-first conversation we scope with you — not something you switch on. We start with what's safe and live, then design the rest with your team.
Privacy isn't a setting. It's the model.
Hub is built so that protecting people is the default, not an add-on.
- No ads, no tracking, no data sales. The business model never depends on resident data.
- Purpose-limited by design — information flows out to residents; PHapp® doesn't gather data back from your community.
- Community and tribal data respected — when a jurisdiction turns PHapp® on, no information about its members leaves the community.
- Public-benefit governance — Hub Public Benefit Corp is chartered to serve the public, with accountability built into how it operates.

Common questions
-
Is Hub a health information exchange or a data exchange?
No. Hub is not an HIE, an EHR, or a data exchange. We provide a privacy-respecting public information layer with basic reach and engagement reporting. Controlled data exchange between agencies is a separate, governance-first conversation.
-
Do you sell or share resident data?
Never. There are no ads, no tracking, and no data sales. Information flows out to residents; PHapp® does not gather data back from your community, and nothing about a jurisdiction's members leaves that community.
-
Can you support data sharing between our agencies and partners?
That depends on governance, and we treat it as a scoped conversation rather than a product you switch on. We start with what's safe and live today — reach and engagement reporting, multilingual public reach, and verified-source coordination — and design anything beyond that with your governance and legal teams.
