HIPAA
HIPAA at Duo Practice. How we protect your patients' information.
Duo Practice (duopractice.com) is built for practices that keep protected health information under HIPAA. There is no such thing as a “HIPAA certified” product: the government does not certify software. What we can do is tell you plainly what is in place today.

Safeguards
6 of 6 in place
Encryption in transit and at rest
Every connection to Duo runs over HTTPS (TLS). What Duo stores, in its database and its file storage, is encrypted at rest.
In placeAccess rules in the database itself
Every table that holds practice or patient information has row-level security turned on, so access is checked by the database on each request, not only by the screens of the app.
In placeVisit recordings deleted once transcribed
A visit's audio is kept only until its transcript is saved. A weekly job then deletes the recording file. The transcript stays with the visit; recordings that have not been transcribed yet are never touched.
In placeHosting under a BAA
Duo's database and file storage run on Supabase, which has signed a Business Associate Agreement with us.
In placeDaily backups
The database is backed up every day, so your records can be restored after a failure.
In placeBusiness Associate Agreement
We sign a Business Associate Agreement with every practice, by e-signature, before any patient information goes into Duo.

Who does what
Your practice is the covered entity.
You decide who sees your patients' information, and you give patients your Notice of Privacy Practices.
Duo Practice is your business associate.
We handle your patients' information only to run the service for you. It is yours, and we do not sell it.
If you leave, your data leaves with you.
When an account is closed, its data stays available to export for 30 days. After that it is deleted.
