What the BAA covers and excludes

Excludes or limits, in Dropbox's words:

  • "Dash doesn’t support compliance with HIPAA, including Dash in Dropbox."
  • Third-party apps and integrations: "they're not covered by your Dropbox terms of use, including a BAA that you might sign with Dropbox."
  • "The ability to sign an electronic BAA via the Admin Console is available only to US-based customers."

What this means for ad tracking

Dropbox often holds intake forms, referral letters and exported lead lists, so files that tie a person to their care can end up there.

A BAA with Dropbox covers the files Dropbox stores for you. It does not cover an ad platform, so a lead list or conversion file that goes from Dropbox to Meta or Google leaves that BAA behind and should carry no health details.

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.

How Curve helps

  • Keep Dropbox for what it does well. Curve carries the conversion signal to your ad platforms separately, under its own BAA.
  • Server-side conversion tracking in place of pixels: conversions reach your ad platforms from Curve's server, not from the patient's browser.
  • A fixed field list per platform, so each ad platform receives only the fields set for it.
  • PHI-like pattern detection checks every event before it goes out, and neutral event names keep conditions and treatments out of what the platforms see.
  • When identifiers are enabled, Curve hashes them with SHA-256.
  • Consent management for your site, alongside the tracking.
  • A HIPAA-compliant setup done by Curve's team, with a BAA signed on every plan.

Book a call with Curve and Curve's team will walk through your tracking setup with you.
