HIPAA Compliance with PDF Editor
INTRODUCTION
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. However, PDF Editor provides certain features (as described below) to help its customers use PDF Editor 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.
PDF Editor, as it a part of Zoho WorkDrive which is compliant with the HIPAA regulations, meets all the necessary HIPAA guidelines.
