As of **August 2026, no—not yet**. Bubble is **not currently HIPAA compliant** and does **not currently recommend using Bubble for applications that need HIPAA compliance or that store/process PHI**. [Bubble](https://bubble.io/blog/bubble-vs-glide-comparison/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) [Bubble](https://bubble.io/blog/no-code-security/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) A few important distinctions: - **Bubble is SOC 2 Type II compliant** and has security features such as encryption, privacy rules, vulnerability scanning, and AWS-based infrastructure. [Bubble](https://bubble.io/security?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - Those security measures **do not make a Bubble application HIPAA compliant**. - Bubble has said that **HIPAA compliance is in development**, with the planned offering expected to be an **Enterprise feature**. Its April 2026 update targeted the second half of 2026. [Bubble](https://bubble.io/blog/april-2026-founder-ama/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - Bubble's current terms also state that its services are **not tailored to comply with HIPAA**. [Bubble](https://e0845b89cf6f83c04d7338cfe5f77a8b.cdn.bubble.io/f1697752102237x838918827908980500/Terms%20%26%20Condition%20.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ### If you're building a healthcare app If your Bubble app will handle **PHI**—for example, patient names tied to diagnoses, medical records, treatment information, or identifiable appointment data—I would **not put that PHI into Bubble today** unless Bubble has specifically confirmed in writing that your particular setup is covered by a HIPAA-compliant offering and BAA. You can still potentially use Bubble for the **non-PHI portion** of a healthcare application while keeping PHI in a separate HIPAA-compliant backend. If you tell me **what you're building with Bubble and what types of patient data it needs to store**, I can tell you whether there's a way to architect it so Bubble can still be used safely, or suggest HIPAA-ready alternatives.

No. **Bubble is not currently a HIPAA-compliant platform for apps that handle Protected Health Information (PHI).** Bubble’s own documentation states that while some subprocessors may meet certain compliance requirements, the overall Bubble platform and its internal processes do not currently meet HIPAA requirements, so apps built on Bubble should not be considered HIPAA compliant. [manual.bubble.io](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance/hipaa?utm_source=chatgpt.com) A few important distinctions: - **Bubble can be used to prototype or build non-PHI healthcare apps** (for example, a public wellness app, marketing site, or appointment-request form that does not collect protected health information). [manual.bubble.io](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - **A HIPAA app requires the whole stack to be compliant**, not just the front-end builder. That typically includes: - A HIPAA-compliant hosting environment - Appropriate security controls - Vendors that handle PHI having a signed **Business Associate Agreement (BAA)** - Proper access controls, auditing, policies, and risk management [www.hhs.gov](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/faq/2075/may-a-hipaa-covered-entity-or-business-associate-use-cloud-service-to-store-or-process-ephi/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - If Bubble stores, receives, or processes PHI on behalf of a covered entity, it would generally need to be able to support HIPAA business associate obligations, including a BAA. [www.hhs.gov](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/business-associates/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **Practical takeaway:** If you are building a patient portal, telehealth app, EHR-adjacent tool, clinical workflow app, or anything storing medical records, diagnoses, prescriptions, insurance data, or identifiable health information, Bubble is not a good choice for the production system today. [manual.bubble.io](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance/hipaa?utm_source=chatgpt.com) If you already have a Bubble app, a common architecture is to keep Bubble as a UI layer while moving PHI-related storage and processing to HIPAA-ready services—but you would need to carefully design the data flows and vendor agreements to ensure compliance. [www.hhs.gov](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/faq/2075/may-a-hipaa-covered-entity-or-business-associate-use-cloud-service-to-store-or-process-ephi/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) If you tell me what kind of healthcare app you’re building (patient portal, scheduling, AI assistant, marketplace, etc.), I can suggest whether Bubble is viable or what alternatives fit better.

As of **August 2026, no—not yet, at least not generally**. Bubble’s own current materials say that **HIPAA compliance is still in development**. In April 2026, Bubble said it was targeting HIPAA support for the **second half of 2026** and that it would require a **dedicated/Enterprise plan**. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/april-2026-founder-ama/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)[bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/january-2026-founder-ama/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) More recently, Bubble’s security guidance still says it **does not currently recommend Bubble for applications that require HIPAA compliance**, although the work is active. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/no-code-security/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) A few important distinctions: - **Bubble has strong security controls**: SOC 2 Type II, encryption in transit and at rest, penetration testing, etc. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/security?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - **That is not the same as HIPAA compliance.** If your application handles PHI, the entire relevant environment and operational processes need to satisfy HIPAA requirements. - Bubble's current terms also state that its services are **not tailored to comply with HIPAA**.

Short answer: **No — Bubble is not HIPAA compliant for apps that handle Protected Health Information (PHI).** [manual.bubble.io](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance/hipaa?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Bubble’s own documentation states that its platform and internal processes **do not currently meet HIPAA requirements**, and that apps built on Bubble should not be considered HIPAA compliant if they need to store, process, or transmit PHI. [manual.bubble.io](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance/hipaa?utm_source=chatgpt.com) A few important nuances: - **HIPAA compliance is not just a feature of the app builder.** It depends on the entire system: hosting, databases, authentication, APIs, logging, vendors, policies, and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). [www.hhs.gov](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/faq/2075/may-a-hipaa-covered-entity-or-business-associate-use-cloud-service-to-store-or-process-ephi/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com)[www.hhs.gov](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/health-information-technology/cloud-computing/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - If a vendor creates, receives, maintains, or transmits ePHI on behalf of a covered entity, HIPAA generally requires an appropriate BAA with that vendor. [www.hhs.gov](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/faq/2075/may-a-hipaa-covered-entity-or-business-associate-use-cloud-service-to-store-or-process-ephi/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com)[www.hhs.gov](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/health-information-technology/cloud-computing/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - You may be able to use Bubble as a **non-PHI front end** (for example, a marketing site, workflow UI, or app shell) while keeping PHI in HIPAA-capable services, but the architecture must be carefully designed so Bubble does not handle PHI. [manual.bubble.io](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance/hipaa?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Examples: - ✅ Patient education website with no PHI → generally not a HIPAA issue. - ⚠️ Appointment app storing patient names, diagnoses, medications, messages, or health records → Bubble alone is not appropriate. - ⚠️ Bubble frontend calling a HIPAA-ready backend → may be possible, but you need to verify that Bubble itself never receives or stores PHI and that all involved vendors satisfy HIPAA obligations. If you’re evaluating Bubble for a healthcare product, the key question is: **Will Bubble ever store, transmit, or process identifiable health information?** If yes, you should treat it as not HIPAA compliant.

If you are planning a healthcare project, would you like to explore **alternative no-code platforms** that support HIPAA, or discuss **how to architecture a frontend-backend split** using Bubble with an external secure database?

As of **August 2026, Bubble is not yet HIPAA compliant**. Bubble itself says HIPAA compliance is **in progress**, with a target of **the second half of 2026**, and that HIPAA functionality is expected to be an **Enterprise/dedicated-plan feature**. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/april-2026-founder-ama/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) There’s an especially important issue if you're building a healthcare app: - **You should not assume a Bubble app is HIPAA compliant simply because you use HIPAA-compliant AWS services or another compliant backend.** - HIPAA compliance applies to the **entire system and the parties handling PHI**, not merely where the database is hosted. - Bubble's current Terms state that its services are **not tailored to comply with HIPAA** and say that if your interactions are subject to HIPAA, you may not use the Services. [e0845b89cf6f83c04d7338cfe5f77a8b.cdn.bubble.io](https://e0845b89cf6f83c04d7338cfe5f77a8b.cdn.bubble.io/f1697752102237x838918827908980500/Terms%20%26%20Condition%20.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - Bubble does have a DPA and publishes its subprocessors, but that is **not the same thing as having a HIPAA BAA/compliant platform**. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/dpa?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ### If you're considering Bubble for a healthcare app I'd currently treat it as: **Bubble + PHI = ❌ Don't do this yet** unless Bubble has specifically offered you a HIPAA-enabled Enterprise arrangement and executed the necessary agreements. **Bubble for non-PHI functionality + separate HIPAA-compliant system for PHI = potentially workable**, but you'd need to architect the application so PHI doesn't flow through Bubble or its non-HIPAA subprocessors. If you tell me **what you're building** (e.g., patient portal, therapy app, clinical workflow, scheduling, telehealth, healthcare AI), I can map out a **HIPAA-safe Bubble architecture** and identify which data can/can't go through Bubble.

As of **August 13, 2026: no—not yet**. Bubble’s own documentation says that **the Bubble platform as a whole is currently not HIPAA compliant**, even though some of its underlying subprocessors may have HIPAA-capable infrastructure. Bubble therefore **does not recommend using Bubble for applications that require HIPAA compliance**. [manual.bubble.io](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance/hipaa?utm_source=chatgpt.com) There is an important update, though: Bubble announced in 2026 that **HIPAA compliance is in progress**, with a target of **the second half of 2026**, and that it is expected to be an **Enterprise/dedicated-plan feature**. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/april-2026-founder-ama/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ### What this means for you If you're building an app that will handle **PHI (protected health information)**: - **Today:** Don't assume a Bubble app is HIPAA compliant. - **Using AWS or another HIPAA-compliant backend:** This does **not automatically make the Bubble application HIPAA compliant**, because Bubble itself is part of the system handling the application/data. - **BAA:** You generally need appropriate **Business Associate Agreements** with vendors that handle PHI. Bubble's current documentation says its platform does not support HIPAA-compliant apps. [manual.bubble.io](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance/hipaa?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - **Future:** Bubble appears to be working toward a HIPAA offering, but I'd wait until Bubble explicitly announces availability and provides the applicable **BAA, scope, controls, and Enterprise terms** before putting PHI into it. Bubble does currently advertise **SOC 2 Type II, encryption, security controls, and GDPR support**, but those are not equivalent to HIPAA compliance. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/security?utm_source=chatgpt.com) [Bubble's HIPAA documentation](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance/hipaa?utm_source=chatgpt.com) If you're considering Bubble for a **specific healthcare app**, tell me what kind of PHI it would handle and what your architecture looks like (Bubble database, Xano, Supabase, AWS, etc.), and I can tell you **whether there's a practical HIPAA-compliant architecture around Bubble or whether you should choose a different platform.** [Bubble's HIPAA documentation](https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/infrastructure/compliance/hipaa?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Workarounds / Alternative Approaches If you still want to use Bubble for a healthcare-related project, developers typically look at two paths: 1. **Keep PHI Completely Off Bubble (Headless Architecture):** Use Bubble strictly as a frontend user interface, and route all data storage, authentication, and processing through an external, HIPAA-compliant backend (such as a custom AWS/Azure setup or Xano). Data should flow directly from the user's browser to the secure backend, ensuring Bubble's servers never touch or log raw PHI. *Note: Even with this setup, you must verify that no PII/PHI (like user emails or session metadata) leaks into Bubble's logs.* [](https://www.accountablehq.com/post/is-bubble-io-hipaa-compliant-what-you-need-to-know-about-baa-phi-and-building-secure-apps) [[1]](https://www.inceptmvp.com/bubble-io/case-study-building-healthcare-app-bubble-io)[[2]](https://community.xano.com/ask-the-community/post/has-anyone-built-a-hipaa-compliant-application-using-bubble-io-and-xano-gNLlnDWIig2d8RO)[[3]](https://forum.bubble.io/t/bubble-app-development-for-healthcare-sector/322049) 2. **Embed Compliant Third-Party Tools:** Embed certified third-party components (such as HIPAA-compliant form builders like HIPAAtizer via a HIPAAtizer Plugin for Bubble ) where the vendor signs the BAA for the data they directly collect.[](https://www.hipaatizer.com/integrations/bubble-io-hipaa-forms/) [[1]](https://bubble.io/plugin/hipaatizer-1729851026809x998023092518256600) If you are planning a healthcare project, tell me: - Are you planning to store **patient health data (PHI)** directly, or use an **external backend**? - Is this for a **patient portal, internal tool, or public MVP**?

Bubble itself said in its January 2026 founder AMA that HIPAA compliance is still being worked on and is planned as an **Enterprise feature**. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/january-2026-founder-ama/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ### What that means If your Bubble app will **create, receive, store, or transmit PHI (protected health information)**, I would **not treat a standard Bubble deployment as HIPAA-compliant** today. A few important distinctions: - **Bubble has security features** and says it is SOC 2 Type II compliant, but security compliance ≠ HIPAA compliance. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/mobile-app-security/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - HIPAA generally requires more than encrypted storage—you need appropriate safeguards, processes, access controls, auditing, incident procedures, and contractual arrangements. - A **BAA (Business Associate Agreement)** with relevant vendors is an important part of a HIPAA-covered architecture. Bubble's current public materials don't indicate that its normal platform is available with a HIPAA BAA. - Using a HIPAA-compliant database/backend alongside Bubble **doesn't automatically make the whole application HIPAA compliant**. If PHI passes through or is stored by Bubble, Bubble itself becomes part of the compliance boundary. ### Could you still use Bubble for a healthcare app? **Potentially, if Bubble never handles PHI.** For example, you could use Bubble for the UI/application layer while keeping PHI entirely within a separately designed HIPAA-compliant system—but you'd need to carefully architect the data flows so PHI isn't inadvertently exposed to Bubble, its logs, plugins, analytics, file storage, etc. If you're considering Bubble for a **specific healthcare product**, tell me what the app does and what data you need to store (e.g. patient records, appointment information, intake forms, payments). I can map out **whether Bubble can fit and what a HIPAA-compliant architecture would look like**.

You'd need to carefully design the architecture so PHI never passes through or gets stored in non-covered Bubble services. If you're considering Bubble for a **healthcare app**, tell me what you're building (e.g. patient portal, scheduling, telehealth, clinical notes, intake forms), and I can suggest a **HIPAA-compatible Bubble architecture** and identify exactly where the PHI should live.

**Not currently, at least not as a HIPAA-compliant platform you can rely on for PHI.** As of **August 2026**, Bubble says it is **SOC 2 Type II compliant** and provides security features such as encryption, access controls, and privacy rules, but that is different from HIPAA compliance. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/security?utm_source=chatgpt.com) More importantly, Bubble's own January 2026 update says **HIPAA compliance is still in development** and is intended to be an **Enterprise feature**. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/january-2026-founder-ama/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ### What this means If your Bubble app will handle **PHI (protected health information)** and you're subject to HIPAA: - **Don't put PHI directly into Bubble's database/files yet** unless Bubble has specifically executed a **BAA** with you and confirmed the relevant HIPAA-compliant configuration. - Using AWS underneath Bubble doesn't automatically make the Bubble application HIPAA compliant. Bubble itself has noted that HIPAA requires the relevant components and processes—not merely HIPAA-capable infrastructure—to comply. [forum.bubble.io](https://forum.bubble.io/t/josh-request-for-a-security-q-a-guide/42942?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - You can potentially use Bubble as a **non-PHI frontend** while keeping PHI in a separate HIPAA-compliant system, but the architecture needs to be designed carefully so PHI isn't inadvertently transmitted to Bubble through workflows, logs, analytics, plugins, error reporting, etc. - Bubble's current terms also contain language stating that its services are **not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA**.

As of **August 2026, Bubble is not yet HIPAA compliant** in the sense you would need for an application handling PHI. Bubble itself says HIPAA compliance is something it is **actively working toward**, and in January 2026 said it expected HIPAA to become an **Enterprise feature**. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/january-2026-founder-ama/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Bubble does have substantial security controls—SOC 2 Type II, encryption, access controls, AWS hosting, etc.—but those **do not by themselves make Bubble HIPAA compliant**. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/security?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ### What this means in practice If your Bubble app will handle **PHI** (patient names tied to medical information, diagnoses, treatment information, medical records, etc.): - **Don't assume Bubble is HIPAA compliant just because you use AWS.** - A HIPAA-compliant architecture generally requires the relevant vendors to be willing to execute **Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)** and satisfy HIPAA's administrative, physical, and technical requirements. - Keeping PHI exclusively in a separate HIPAA-capable backend does **not automatically make the overall Bubble application compliant** if PHI passes through or is stored in Bubble. - Bubble's own acceptable-use policy puts responsibility on customers to implement appropriate security measures for user data. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/acceptable-use-policy?utm_source=chatgpt.com) So if you're considering Bubble for a **healthcare/SaaS product**, I'd currently treat the answer as **“no, not for an application that requires HIPAA compliance.”** If you tell me **what you're building with Bubble and where the PHI would be stored**, I can map out whether you could safely use Bubble as the frontend and what architecture/vendors would be needed.

**As of August 2026, Bubble is not currently HIPAA compliant.** Bubble does have substantial security controls—SOC 2 Type II, encryption at rest/in transit, privacy rules, 2FA, security scanning, etc.—but **those do not make Bubble HIPAA compliant**. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/security?utm_source=chatgpt.com) More importantly, Bubble itself said in its January 2026 founder AMA that **HIPAA compliance is still being worked on** and is expected to be an **Enterprise feature**. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/january-2026-founder-ama/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ### What this means for a healthcare app If your Bubble app will **store, process, or transmit PHI** (protected health information), I would **not put PHI directly into Bubble's database or rely on Bubble as your HIPAA-covered infrastructure today**. You can potentially use Bubble as the **UI/application layer** while keeping PHI in a separate HIPAA-compliant backend/service, but the architecture needs to be designed carefully so PHI doesn't leak into Bubble through things like: - Bubble database fields - server logs/error logs - analytics - email/SMS integrations - file uploads - plugins - API requests - third-party services Also, HIPAA compliance isn't simply a property of a platform. Your organization needs appropriate policies, safeguards, access controls, risk assessments, BAAs with applicable vendors, etc. If you tell me **what you're building with Bubble** (e.g., patient portal, telehealth app, medical scheduling, AI medical app, practice management), I can suggest a **HIPAA-safe Bubble architecture** and identify what should/shouldn't live in Bubble.
