The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (including the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Breach notification Rule, and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) ("HIPAA"), requires Covered Entities and Business Associates to take certain measures to protect health information that can identify an individual. It also provides certain rights to individuals. Zoho does not collect, use, store or maintain health information protected by HIPAA for its own purposes. 

Zoho Commerce provides features (as described below ) to help its customers use Zoho Commerce in a HIPAA compliant manner.

HIPAA requires Covered Entities to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with its Business Associates. You can request our BAA template by sending an email to legal@zohocorp.com.

Member Portal & Access Restriction

Zoho Commerce provides role-based access to the features available. The member portal contains an access control list, where the store owner can restrict the website's access to employees/visitors. This allows the store owner to have complete authority over user's access permissions. Not all users can view or access the administrator's functions.

SSL Certificate

With Zoho Commerce, business owners can install their own SSL Certificates or purchase one from 'let's encrypt' for free. SSL protocol provides encryption, authenticity, and integrity for stores created through Zoho Commerce. More details available on this help link.
