HIPAA Compliance Explained: Why Our App Is Not Certified
Updated: Aug 19
Hi There!
The short answer to this is No, we are not HIPAA compliant.
While we fulfill most of the privacy and security requirements needed to be certified, we can't have our App being certified HIPPA compliance since we simply don’t know what data our customers are storing in our App.
