## Is Tabflows HIPAA-compliant?

Tabflows handles protected health information (PHI) as a Business Associate — the HIPAA term for a vendor that handles patient data for a healthcare provider and takes on its own legal obligations to protect it.

Two more things matter here. Tabflows **never asks for or stores passwords** for your healthcare systems. And Tabflows prepares drafts and actions, while a person on your team reviews or approves them before anything goes to a patient.

---

## Do I need to request a BAA?

No. The standard Tabflows BAA applies automatically to covered entities and healthcare organizations using the service, so no separate request is required.

During signup, the person creating your clinic's account confirms they have the authority to accept the current agreement on behalf of the clinic.

> **Good to know:** Read the current BAA at [www.tabflows.com/baa](https://www.tabflows.com/baa).

---

## Do you sell my data?

No. Tabflows does not sell or monetize patient data, and your clinic's data is partitioned from every other customer's.

## What am I responsible for?

Your organization remains responsible for its own HIPAA obligations — your policies, who has access, and what your staff sends.

---

## Where do I send a security review?

Email [security@tabflows.com](mailto:security@tabflows.com) for security documentation, a questionnaire, or a current subprocessor list.
