What ShareFile (Progress Software Corporation) says
“Customers must have a signed BAA in place with ShareFile (Progress Software Corporation).”
“Within ShareFile, we make it easy for administrators to sign a BAA, outlining the responsibilities for protecting PHI and ensuring HIPAA compliance.”
What the BAA covers and excludes
Excludes or limits, in ShareFile (Progress Software Corporation)'s words:
- "Certain features may be limited or unavailable."
What this means for ad tracking
ShareFile often holds intake packets, referral letters and exported lead lists, so files that tie a person to their care can end up there.
A BAA with ShareFile covers the files ShareFile handles for you. It does not cover an ad platform, so a lead list or conversion file that goes from ShareFile to Meta or Google leaves that BAA behind and should carry no health details. This directory lists Meta and Google Ads as not signing a BAA, and our guide to HIPAA compliant cloud storage compares the options.
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 ShareFile 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.
