HIPAA information
How Lova Health approaches HIPAA and the privacy of protected health information.
Our approach to HIPAA
Lova Health is a privacy-first platform. Where Lova processes protected health information (PHI) on behalf of covered entities — such as healthcare providers or health systems — we are prepared to enter into Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) as required by HIPAA.
There is no official HIPAA certification program
HIPAA does not establish a formal government-administered certification program. No government body issues an official HIPAA stamp of approval, and Lova makes no such claim. What matters is whether an organization has implemented appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards — and whether it will enter into required Business Associate Agreements.
BAA readiness
If your organization is a covered entity under HIPAA and you wish to use Lova in a capacity that involves PHI, please contact our partnerships team to discuss a Business Associate Agreement.
Privacy-first architecture
Lova's on-device data model means your health data stays on your device by default and is never transmitted to Lova servers without your explicit action. This architectural choice reduces PHI exposure by design.
Consumer use
When you use Lova as an individual consumer, Lova is not acting as a Business Associate of your healthcare provider. In this context, HIPAA does not govern Lova's handling of your data — instead, Lova's Privacy Policy applies.
