What the BAA covers and excludes

Excludes or limits, in Slack's words:

  • "Please note that GovGrid plans are not currently eligible for BAA coverage."

What this means for ad tracking

Marketing teams share lead alerts, form notifications and campaign reports in Slack, and those alerts often include a patient's name next to the service they asked about.

A BAA with Slack covers those messages on an eligible plan. It does not cover ad platforms, so the conversion signal your campaigns learn from needs its own route.

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 carries the conversion signal to your ad platforms separately, under its own BAA, so you can keep Slack for what it does well.
  • Curve tracks conversions server-side in place of pixels, so they reach your ad platforms from Curve's server, not from the patient's browser.
  • Curve checks every event for PHI-like patterns before it goes out, and its neutral event names keep conditions and treatments out of what the platforms see.
  • Curve hashes identifiers with SHA-256 to each platform's requirements.
  • Curve adds consent management to your site, alongside the tracking.
  • Curve signs a BAA on every plan, and Curve's team does the HIPAA-compliant setup for you in about a week.

Frequently asked questions

Is Slack HIPAA compliant?

Yes, on an Enterprise-level Slack plan with the Slack HIPAA Enabled SKU. With a signed BAA, Slack 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 Slack sign a BAA?

Yes, on an Enterprise-level Slack plan with the Slack HIPAA Enabled SKU. In Slack's words: “On or after March 20, 2023, Customer must purchase the “Slack - HIPAA Enabled” SKU, along with a covered enterprise plan.” We checked Slack's own pages on September 29, 2026.

Which Slack plans include a BAA?

Slack's BAA prerequisites, published by Salesforce, require an Enterprise-level Slack plan, and since March 20, 2023 the “Slack - HIPAA Enabled” SKU along with it. GovGrid plans are not currently eligible.

Does a BAA with Slack cover my ad pixels?

No. A BAA covers the data Slack 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 Slack.

Does Curve Compliance sign a BAA?

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