Is Discord HIPAA compliant?

Checked 6 Nov 2026 from 3 vendor sources

Not stated

No Discord 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. Discord’s privacy policy and processor addendum don’t mention HIPAA, BAAs or PHI. Ask Discord directly if you need a firm answer.

Proof from the vendor

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.
