How to compare Curve Compliance with any alternative
Ask every vendor the same eight questions. Here is how Curve Compliance answers each one.
| Question to ask | Curve Compliance |
|---|---|
| Who signs the BAA, and on which plans? | Curve signs a BAA on every plan. |
| How do conversions reach ad platforms? | One Curve script replaces your browser ad pixels. Conversions go server-side from Curve's servers to Meta Conversions API, Google Ads, TikTok, Microsoft Advertising and LinkedIn. |
| What does each ad platform receive? | A fixed list of fields per platform. Contact identifiers are off by default and SHA-256 hashed when enabled, and events can use neutral names. |
| What happens to PHI-like data? | 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. |
| Can you see what was sent and accepted? | Yes. Event Logs show what Curve sent to each platform and what the platform accepted. |
| Does attribution survive the booking step? | Yes. Curve keeps the ad source when a visitor leaves to book in IntakeQ, Calendly, Acuity, Jane App, Boulevard, ZocDoc and other schedulers, and bookings made days later still match. |
| How are bookings and revenue reported? | Campaign Reporting puts Meta and Google Ads spend next to Curve-tracked conversions per campaign, with five attribution models and the list of conversions behind any number. |
| Who does the setup, and how long does it take? | Curve's team does the setup for you. Most customers are live in about a week. |
Curve Compliance also includes Curve Forms for HIPAA-hosted intake and lead forms, consent management, and session replay and heatmaps under the same BAA, plus Curve Analyst and Curve MCP. Curve is SOC 2 Type II. A BAA is one part of HIPAA compliance, not all of it, so talk to your counsel about your own setup.
