What Abridge AI, Inc. says
“Our processing of such information, which we refer to as "Customer Data," is governed exclusively by the terms of our agreements with those customers, including our Business Associate Agreements (BAAs).”
“We are a "Business Associate" to your provider and process your data solely on their instruction.”
What the BAA covers and excludes
Covers, in Abridge AI, Inc.'s words:
- "Abridge processes Customer Data, which may include Protected Health Information (PHI), solely on behalf of our customers."
What this means for ad tracking
Abridge says it “offers an AI platform for clinical conversations used by leading health systems” (Abridge Trust Center), so the conversations and notes it handles put a patient's name next to their condition.
Abridge names its customers as organizations such as “hospitals, healthcare systems” and handles their data under agreements that include its BAAs (Abridge). That BAA covers Abridge. A BAA binds only the vendor that signs it. This directory lists Meta and Google Ads as not signing a BAA, so data from your practice website should reach them with no health details. Our guide to HIPAA compliant AI tools covers other AI tools.
Curve Compliance helps with that part: it sends the conversion itself server-side under a BAA it signs on every plan, sends each platform only a fixed list of fields, and detects PHI-like patterns before data reaches an ad platform. Book a call to see it on your own funnel.
A business associate agreement binds only the vendor that signs it, so each vendor that handles patient information for you needs its own.
How Curve helps
- Curve carries the conversion signal to your ad platforms separately, under its own BAA, so you can keep Abridge for what it does well.
- Curve replaces browser ad pixels with one script and sends conversions server-side to Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, Microsoft Advertising and LinkedIn from Curve's servers.
- Curve detects PHI-like patterns, such as condition names, form answers and emails in URLs, before data reaches an ad platform, and flags them so they can be stopped at the source.
- Each platform receives only a fixed list of fields. Contact identifiers are off by default on Meta, Google Ads and TikTok, and events can use neutral names.
- Event Logs show what Curve sent to each platform and what the platform accepted.
- Curve signs a BAA on every plan, and Curve's team does the setup for you, typically live in about a week.
