title: HIPAA
description: Learn about Appwrite Cloud's measures to achieve HIPAA compliance.
---

Appwrite is compliant with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations.
HIPAA is an important regulation that protects patients' health data from being disclosed without consent or knowledge.

If you're building apps that handle information that is considered [PHI (Personal Health Information)](https://privacyruleandresearch.nih.gov/pr_07.asp)
for an U.S. user base, data must be stored in a HIPAA-compliant environment.

To attain HIPAA compliance, we've taken extensive measures, ensuring that our practices align with the highest data protection standards.
We have implemented robust measures to safeguard personal information, updating our policies, procedures, and infrastructure to meet the strict requirements of HIPAA regulations.

- A strict data backup schedule.
- An extended business continuity plan.
- Data retention rights for individuals as outlined in our [Privacy Policy](https://appwrite.io/privacy).
- Intrusion detection and penetration testing.
- Encryption of data transmitted between Appwrite and users using transport layer security (TLS) and HTTP strict Transport Security,
ensuring confidentiality both at rest and during transmission.
- Access to environments containing customer data is strictly controlled,
requiring authentication and authorization through multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Appwrite safeguards personal information to the same extent it protects its own, complying with relevant privacy laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where its services are offered.

Please note that while Appwrite Cloud serves as a HIPAA-compliant platform to handle data,
it is the responsibility of developers to ensure that their application is also compliant with HIPAA regulations.
