Freshpaint vs Ours Privacy vs Curve Compliance (2026)
Freshpaint, Ours Privacy and Curve Compliance compared on BAA terms, ad destinations, appointment attribution, PHI handling, consent and setup.
Freshpaint, Ours Privacy and Curve Compliance all offer a BAA and send conversions to ad platforms from their own servers instead of browser pixels. They differ in how attribution reaches the appointment and in who does the setup. For teams that want each ad click credited through the booking and the EHR to the attended visit, with setup done for them, Curve Compliance is the one to choose. It carries attribution through schedulers such as IntakeQ, Calendly and Jane App, credits completed visits from your EHR or CRM, shows what each platform accepted, and Curve's team typically has it live in about a week.

BAA
Curve Compliance signs a BAA on every plan. Freshpaint's FAQ says it "is built specifically for HIPAA-regulated environments and offers a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)". Ours Privacy says "As part of every contract, we will accept redlines and sign a BAA", and that "Every third-party vendor in our infrastructure that could potentially access PHI operates under a signed BAA" (Ours Privacy). Whichever you choose, read what the BAA actually covers.
Ad destinations
Curve Compliance sends conversions from its servers to Meta Conversions API, Google Ads, TikTok, Microsoft Advertising and LinkedIn, and each platform receives only a fixed list of fields. Freshpaint lists "Google Search, Meta retargeting, and conversion-focused ads on Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, Microsoft, and Snapchat", plus display and CTV platforms. Ours Privacy's destination list runs from Google Ads and Facebook to OpenAI Ads, Amazon DSP, Roku and Yelp, and its Google docs say "Ours Privacy proxies all events through the server, so Google does not directly interact with your clients' browsers or receive their IP addresses."
Attribution to appointments
Freshpaint says its Ad Performance product pulls "appointment data, including booking status, attendance status, and appointment dates, via direct connections and secure SFTP", and that "Some integrations are standard, while others require custom implementation." (Freshpaint). Ours Privacy names healthcare integrations including Healthie, NexHealth, Tellescope, Yosi Health, Loyal Health and Keragon.
Curve Compliance follows the patient from the ad to the visit. When a visitor clicks through to a scheduler such as IntakeQ, Calendly, Acuity, Jane App, OptiMantra, Boulevard or ZocDoc, Curve carries the ad click across with the booking link, so a booking made days later still matches. Embedded widgets and GoHighLevel funnels are set up by Curve's team. Outcomes then come back from your EHR, CRM or scheduler through incoming webhooks, through Keragon connections to tools such as Healthie, Athenahealth and OptiMantra, or through an offline upload, and Curve credits each one to the original ad click before sending it on. Campaign Reporting shows spend next to those conversions for every campaign, and the journey of any single prospect from ad click to booking.
PHI handling
Freshpaint describes a "block-by-default" approach and says it "does not collect sensitive input values (like form text)". Ours Privacy lets you "Redact, rename, hash, or otherwise anonymize each event and control what gets sent, where", and says "Your data stays secure, hosted exclusively on AWS servers in the U.S." Curve Compliance gives each ad platform a fixed list of permitted fields, so a field that is not on the list cannot leave. Contact identifiers are off by default and SHA-256 hashed when enabled, events can use neutral names, and PHI-like values such as a condition in a URL are flagged so they can be stopped at the source. Event Logs show what Curve sent to each platform and what the platform accepted.
Consent
Freshpaint says that "when users opt out, data flows actually stop" (Freshpaint). The Ours Privacy pages cited here don't cover consent, so ask Ours Privacy. Curve Compliance's consent management applies an opt-in or opt-out rule for each visitor's region, shows a banner where opt-in is required, records every decision in an audit log, honors Global Privacy Control, and holds back or limits ad forwarding for visitors who decline advertising. If you already run a consent tool, it can pass each visitor's choice to Curve Compliance instead.
Setup
Curve Compliance is set up for you by Curve's team, typically live in about a week. That covers the script and the event mapping for each ad platform, plus the scheduler and EHR connections, which the team configures with you, so your marketing team doesn't take on a project. Whichever vendor you choose, ask who does that work and what your team will need to provide.
