What the BAA covers and excludes

Excludes or limits, in Mailchimp's words:

  • The Data Processing Addendum defines Sensitive Data to include "employment, financial, credit, genetic, biometric or health information".

What this means for ad tracking

Mailchimp holds leads and patients, and teams often sync its lead stages, email clicks or purchases back to ad platforms as conversions or audiences. Each sync sends data from Mailchimp to Meta, Google or TikTok.

Without a BAA, patient data should not go into Mailchimp in the first place, and nothing from it should reach an ad platform with health details attached.

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

  • Curve gives you a conversion signal that does not depend on Mailchimp or a browser pixel carrying patient details.
  • Server-side conversion tracking in place of pixels: conversions reach your ad platforms from Curve's server, not from the patient's browser.
  • 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.
  • Identifiers are hashed with SHA-256 to each platform's requirements.
  • Attribution is kept through booking tools, so a booked appointment is credited to the ad that brought the patient in.
  • Consent management for your site, alongside the tracking.
  • A HIPAA-compliant setup done by Curve's team, in about a week, with a BAA signed on every plan.

Can I use Mailchimp with patient data?

Not under a BAA from Mailchimp, based on its own pages. Keep Protected Health Information out of Mailchimp, and check what it sends to other services.

Can I still track ad conversions that come through Mailchimp?

Yes, when the conversion reaches your ad platforms without health information. Curve sends conversions server-side under a BAA it signs on every plan, with neutral event names and SHA-256 hashed identifiers.
