What Pendo says
“Pendo supports HIPAA customers via a Business Associate Agreement.”
“Customers with BAA (healthcare)”
“Pendo observes key industry best practices and regulatory schemes to protect the security and privacy of our customers’ data: SOC2, GDPR, TX-RAMP, and HIPAA.”
What this means for ad tracking
Pendo installs in your web application and records how people use it. Its help center says that on each page load, Pendo collects “the URL, some browser information, such as language and browser version, and the title of the page (if enabled)” (Pendo Help Center).
Pendo also says the names of page elements are captured by default and “can include PII displayed in your application UI,” and that text capture can be turned off (Pendo Help Center). On a patient portal, page addresses and titles can carry health information, so have the BAA signed before Pendo runs there.
A BAA binds only the vendor that signs it. This directory lists Meta and Google Ads as not signing one, so conversions sent to them need to leave PHI behind. Our HIPAA-compliant analytics comparison covers BAA terms for other analytics 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 Pendo 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.
