What we checked
We looked for a statement about a BAA on Signal's own pages and could not find one we could quote. These are the pages we checked:
Until Signal 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
Staff sometimes move patient questions to Signal because it is end-to-end encrypted, and Signal's privacy policy says it cannot decrypt or access the content of messages or calls. Encryption is not a BAA, though, and we found no BAA offered on Signal's own pages.
Without a BAA, patient conversations should not run through Signal, and a reply or booking you count as a conversion should reach your ad platforms with nothing from the thread.
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.
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 gives you a conversion signal that does not depend on Signal 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.
- 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.
