HIPAA (pronounced "hippa") is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It was introduced into the US as law in 1996 and, among other things, governs how health information can be stored and accessed, and what measures need to be put in place by any organisation dealing with health information in the US.

You may have heard of HIPAA in the term "HIPAA Compliance". A HIPAA compliant organisation has taking the necessary steps to ensure compliance with the Act — both technical and procedural.

Since February 2026, Finger-Ink has maintained the administrative, technical and physical safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule — so we're HIPAA compliant!

Our production infrastructure is hosted by Healthcare Blocks in a HIPAA-compliant AWS environment, and we have Business Associate Agreements in place with all sub-processors that handle electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI).

If you are a Covered Entity or Business Associate under HIPAA and require a Business Associate Agreement with Finger-Ink, you can request one through our Trust Center. Please also contact us through the chat bubble within the app or the portal, and we'll enable extra HIPAA-compliance controls for you in the app.
