What we checked
We looked for a statement about a BAA on Profound's own pages and could not find one we could quote. These are the pages we checked:
- Profound blog, Profound achieves HIPAA compliance for healthcare AEO
- Profound Trust Center
- Profound Trust Center, Resources
- Profound Trust Center, FAQ
Until Profound puts a BAA in writing for you, treat it as a tool that has not agreed to protect patient data.
What this means for ad tracking
Profound announced on November 14, 2025 that it “has successfully completed an independent HIPAA compliance assessment, conducted by Sensiba LLP,” and that “HIPAA compliance is available now for all Profound enterprise customers” (Profound). Its Trust Center lists a SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA report (Profound Trust Center). None of the pages we checked say whether Profound signs a BAA, so ask Profound for one before any patient data reaches it.
An AI visibility tool should never need patient data. With Curve Compliance's AI Visibility, only the marketing question you track is sent to AI assistants, screened for PHI first, and never anything about a patient. Curve is SOC 2 Type II and signs a BAA on every plan. For a side-by-side view, see our Profound alternative for healthcare guide and HIPAA-compliant AI visibility tracking.
AI Visibility is a feature in Curve Compliance, and Curve also offers it as a managed service. AI Visibility shows how often AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini, name and cite your practice for the questions your patients ask. Book a call to see AI Visibility on your own questions, or to talk about the managed service.
A business associate agreement binds only the vendor that signs it, so each vendor that handles patient information for you needs its own.
