HIPAA Compliance for healthcare
With just a few lines of code, developers can embed HIPAA-compliant video calls. Both Daily Prebuilt — our ready-to-use embeddable video chat interface — and custom interfaces built using Daily call object can be used to build HIPAA-compliant applications.
Business Associate Agreement (BAA)
To partner with you and build HIPAA-compliant applications, we've designed our APIs with data security and privacy as our top concern. We will sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) at no additional cost.
Room names
To create HIPAA-compliant rooms, you can use the REST API or the Daily dashboard.
Whether you're using the dashboard or our REST API programmatically, the Daily REST API will create a randomized name for your room in order to prevent room name information from including any PII or PHI. Trying to set a name manually will result in an error.
HIPAA-compliant recording types
We offer three HIPAA-compliant recording options:
"local"recordings"cloud"recordings, but only when configured to store recordings in an S3 bucket"raw-tracks"recordings
These recordings are not stored on Daily servers.
In addition to recording types being limited, accounts with HIPAA enabled cannot use live streaming. This is to maintain HIPAA compliance.
Text chat
We offer HIPAA-compliant text chat by default. When using Daily Prebuilt, text chat can be enabled via the enable_chat room property. Chat messages in Daily Prebuilt are never stored on Daily servers.
Developers can also build their own HIPAA-compliant text chat implementation with Daily's sendAppMessage() method, which is what Daily Prebuilt's chat uses, as well. Chat data sent by sendAppMessage() is HIPAA-compliant by default. Developers are responsible for maintaining compliance in custom implementations by ensuring chat messages are not stored externally by their app.
