What the BAA covers and excludes

Covers, in Microsoft's words:

Excludes or limits, in Microsoft's words:

  • "However, using Microsoft services doesn't on its own achieve HIPAA compliance."

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 Microsoft covers the responses Microsoft Forms stores in your Office 365 subscription. It does not cover Meta or Google Ads, so the lead should count as a conversion without the form's contents.

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 Microsoft Forms 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is Microsoft Forms HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Microsoft Forms is an in-scope service under Microsoft's HIPAA BAA for Office 365 Commercial and GCC subscriptions, and the BAA comes by default through Microsoft's Data Protection Addendum. With a signed BAA, Microsoft 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 Microsoft Forms sign a BAA?

Yes. Microsoft Forms is an in-scope service under Microsoft's HIPAA BAA for Office 365 Commercial and GCC subscriptions, and the BAA comes by default through Microsoft's Data Protection Addendum. In Microsoft's words: “Yes. Microsoft offers its covered entity and business associate customers a Business Associate Agreement that covers in-scope Microsoft services.” We checked Microsoft's own pages on October 5, 2026.

Which Microsoft Forms plans are covered by a BAA?

Microsoft lists Forms among the in-scope Office 365 services for Commercial and GCC subscriptions. Its BAA is available by default through the Microsoft Online Services Data Protection Addendum to customers that are covered entities or business associates. The list is for Office 365 subscriptions, so confirm your accounts are on one before Microsoft Forms handles PHI.

Does a BAA with Microsoft Forms cover my ad pixels?

No. A BAA covers the data Microsoft 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 Microsoft.

Does Curve Compliance sign a BAA?

Yes. Curve Compliance signs a BAA on every plan, and Curve's team does the HIPAA-compliant setup for you. Book a call to get started.
