Will Braze sign a HIPAA BAA?
Yes — Braze will sign a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
Braze publishes a HIPAA Business Associate Addendum and will sign a BAA. The BAA permits customers to submit PHI to the Braze Services when done pursuant to the BAA, but is narrowly scoped to engagement / marketing: it explicitly prohibits storing or submitting medical records, medical images, diagnoses, test results, or similar sensitive medical information, and states the service 'is not intended to be relied upon as part of patient treatment.'
PHI eligibility
PHI is permitted only under a signed BAA and only for engagement / CRM / marketing; do not store clinical data (records, images, diagnoses, test results). Contact-level PHI for messaging is acceptable, clinical content is not.
