| 5 | ElevenLabsElevenLabs | BAA on enterprise tiers | PHI only on covered tier | ElevenLabs executes a BAA only for Enterprise subscriptions, which must run a HIPAA-compliant configuration with Zero Retention Mode enabled; customers contact Sales to sign the BAA before handling PHI. | 2026-06-01 |

| 10 | Notion AINotion | BAA on enterprise tiers | No PHI | Notion signs a BAA only on the Enterprise plan (100+ members), and the Notion AI add-on is explicitly carved out of that BAA — so PHI may never be processed through Notion AI even on an Enterprise BAA. | 2026-06-01 |

| 13 | TabnineTabnine | BAA on request | PHI only on covered tier | Tabnine fits HIPAA workflows via its Enterprise self-hosted, VPC, on-prem and air-gapped deployments with zero code retention, where customer code never reaches Tabnine's servers; a BAA is handled through enterprise engagement rather than a self-serve click-through. | 2026-06-01 |
| 14 | Adobe FireflyAdobe | No BAA | No PHI | Adobe acts as a Business Associate only for designated HIPAA-Ready Services (e.g. Acrobat Sign Enterprise and select Document/Experience Cloud capabilities); Firefly is a creative generative-AI app and is not a HIPAA-Ready Service, so no Firefly BAA is available. | 2026-06-01 |
| 15 | Amazon Q DeveloperAmazon Web Services | No BAA | No PHI | AWS signs a single BAA covering eligible services, but Amazon Q Developer is NOT on the AWS HIPAA Eligible Services Reference list (only Amazon Q Business is); AWS states Q Developer is not designed to transmit, store or process ePHI. | 2026-06-01 |

| 23 | Google NotebookLMGoogle | No BAA | No PHI | NotebookLM is absent from Google Workspace's 'HIPAA Included Functionality' list, so it is not covered by the Google Workspace HIPAA BAA; the free consumer app is likewise out of scope. | 2026-06-01 |

AI data policies shift quietly. Leave your email and we'll alert you when a tool we track changes how it uses your data.
These HIPAA / BAA verdicts are cited public information, not legal or compliance advice. Whether an AI tool will sign a BAA — and on which plan tier PHI is permitted — changes and depends on your specific plan, region and contract. Always confirm a current BAA directly with the vendor before sending any protected health information.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools sign a HIPAA BAA?
Of the 34 AI tools we track, 1 sign a BAA on a standard or qualifying paid plan (Google Gemini). A further 9 offer one only on enterprise tiers (ChatGPT, Claude, Codeium / Windsurf, ElevenLabs, Grammarly, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and others), and 3 sign one on request (Fireflies.ai, Grok, Tabnine). 21 do not sign a BAA at all. Every verdict on this page links a dated public source.
Is ChatGPT HIPAA compliant?
PHI is permitted only on a BAA-covered Enterprise, API or ChatGPT-for-Healthcare account — never on Free, Plus or Pro. OpenAI trains on consumer ChatGPT (Free, Plus, Pro) conversations by default unless you switch it off, but does not train on ChatGPT Team, Enterprise, Edu or the API by default.
Does Perplexity sign a BAA?
No — Perplexity does not sign a BAA — not even on Enterprise Pro. There is no HIPAA-covered Perplexity tier. Do not enter PHI into Perplexity — it does not sign a BAA on any plan, including Enterprise Pro.
Can I put PHI (protected health information) into an AI chatbot?
Only when the vendor has signed a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) that covers your specific plan, and only on that covered tier. On most tools a BAA is enterprise-gated or unavailable, so consumer and free tiers are never PHI-eligible. Confirm a current BAA directly with the vendor before sending any PHI — this page is cited public information, not legal advice.
What does “BAA on enterprise tiers” mean for HIPAA?
It means the vendor will sign a BAA, but only on a specific (usually enterprise or business) plan — the free and consumer tiers are contractually excluded and cannot lawfully process PHI. The plan-tier column on this page names the exact tier each tool gates its BAA behind.
