Not statedIs Signal HIPAA compliant?
Checked 6 Nov 2026 from 2 vendor sources
No Signal statement about offering or refusing a BAA was found on the pages read. That isn’t proof either way. Treat it as unsafe for patient data until the vendor confirms in writing.
What we couldn’t confirm
A missing statement isn’t a refusal. Ask Signal directly if you need a firm answer.
Proof from the vendor
- Signal Terms of Service and Privacy PolicyNo mention of HIPAA, business associates or health data
- Can I use Signal for work?Says a company can use Signal; no mention of HIPAA or BAAs
This isn’t legal advice. A BAA is one requirement. Your clinic still has to set the tool up correctly and control who has access. Vendors change their terms, so confirm with the vendor before you sign. PHI means protected health information, which includes patient data.
