I looked for "HIPAA" and didn't find it anywhere. Nor the ability to request that data be deleted. I wish they would take privacy for this more seriously than Google's baseline level of privacy.

from the FAQ:

Project Baseline follows federal and state regulations governing the collection and use of an individual's data, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

That's the general project baseline FAQ, the COVID-19 project FAQ has a similar question which does not address HIPAA: “We are committed to maintaining high privacy standards and keeping your data safe. Project Baseline follows federal and state regulations governing the collection and use of an individual's data. Data is stored in advanced systems with security and privacy protocols.”

Note that this text only appears under "How will you protect my privacy" _under the FAQ page_. If you look at the question with the same title on the landing page, HIPAA is not mentioned

That's because one is about Project Baseline in general (the one that mentions HIPAA) and one is about the special COVID-19 project (the one that does not.) They are different FAQs about different efforts.

There is an on page link to the applicable privacy policy: https://www.projectbaseline.com/covid-19-privacy/

For some reason, the text under https://www.projectbaseline.com/faq/ is different than that on the COVID-19 page. The FAQ page does explicitly mention HIPAA compliance
Re:California Covid-19 risk screening and testing by dragonwriter on Monday March 16, 2020 @12:13AM (#22589877)
Because despite using the Project Baseline webpage, the Verily COVID-19 effort is distinct from Project Baseline and operates under different processes, probably.

Still no mention of HIPAA?
