HIPAA Compliance in Zoho Survey - Online Help Guide

HIPAA Compliance

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, Zoho Survey provides features (as described below) to help its customers use their surveys in a HIPAA-compliant manner. HIPAA requires Covered Entities to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with their Business Associates. You can request our BAA template by sending an email to legal@zohocorp.com.
