What the BAA covers and excludes

Excludes or limits, in Cognito Forms's words:

  • "Cognito Forms is not an Electronic Medical Record system and does not track patients as individuals."

What this means for ad tracking

A form submission is a lead conversion, and healthcare forms often ask about symptoms, treatments or insurance. A thank-you page pixel or a form integration can pass that context to an ad platform.

A BAA with Cognito Forms covers the answers Cognito Forms stores. It does not cover a pixel that fires when the form is submitted, so the conversion should reach your ad platforms without the answers.

Curve Compliance closes that gap: it sends the conversion itself server-side, under a BAA it signs on every plan, so your campaigns keep a conversion signal without a pixel carrying patient data. 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. To compare form builders, see our guide to HIPAA compliant forms.

How Curve helps

  • Curve Compliance carries the conversion signal to your ad platforms separately, under its own BAA, so you can keep Cognito Forms for what it does well.
  • Curve sends conversions server-side to Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, Microsoft Advertising and LinkedIn from its own servers, with neutral event names and SHA-256 hashed identifiers.
  • Curve flags PHI-like patterns, such as condition names, form answers and emails in URLs, before data reaches an ad platform, so they can be stopped at the source.
  • Curve offers Curve Forms, HIPAA-hosted intake and lead forms with ad attribution attached.
  • Curve signs a BAA on every plan, and Curve's team does the HIPAA-compliant setup for you in about a week.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cognito Forms HIPAA compliant?

Yes, on the Enterprise plan. Your organization must be on Enterprise, not a trial, to enter into a BAA. With a signed BAA, Cognito Forms can handle patient information for you, set up the way the vendor describes. The BAA does not cover ad pixels or tags on the same pages, because they send data to other companies.

Does Cognito Forms sign a BAA?

Yes, on the Enterprise plan. Your organization must be on Enterprise, not a trial, to enter into a BAA. In Cognito Forms' words: “Your organization must be on the Cognito Forms Enterprise plan (and not a trial) in order to enter into a BAA.” We checked Cognito Forms' own pages on October 1, 2026.

Which Cognito Forms plans include a BAA?

The Enterprise plan, and not a trial. An Owner of your Cognito Forms organization signs the BAA from the Compliance section of the Plan & Billing menu in Settings.

Does a BAA with Cognito Forms cover my ad pixels?

No. A BAA covers the data Cognito Forms handles for you. A pixel sends data from the visitor's browser straight to Meta, Google or TikTok, and none of those platforms is a party to your BAA with Cognito Forms.

Does Curve Compliance sign a BAA?
