What we checked

We looked for a statement about a BAA on Telegram's own pages and could not find one we could quote. These are the pages we checked:

Until Telegram 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

Telegram Business adds automated messages, quick replies and chatbot integration, so some clinics use it to answer new enquiries, and a started chat can be what they count as a lead.

Without a BAA, patient questions and booking details should not go through Telegram, and a chat you count as a conversion should reach your ad platforms with nothing from the conversation.

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 Telegram 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.

Book a call with Curve and Curve's team will walk through your tracking setup with you.

Does Telegram sign a BAA?

No public statement. We found no statement about a BAA or HIPAA in Telegram's terms of service, its Telegram Business terms, its FAQ or its privacy policy. We checked Telegram's own pages on October 5, 2026.

Can I use Telegram with patient data?

Not until Telegram signs a BAA with you. We could not find a statement from Telegram offering one on its own pages, so ask Telegram directly and keep Protected Health Information out of Telegram until a BAA is in place.

Can I still track ad conversions that come through Telegram?

Yes, when the conversion reaches your ad platforms without health information. Curve sends conversions server-side under a BAA it signs on every plan, with neutral event names and SHA-256 hashed identifiers.

Does Curve Compliance sign a BAA?

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