I'm looking forward to replies from dannygrannick and david_l_lin if they are a "covered entity" under HIPAA, because that was the question asked, and hasn't been answered yet.

We self-impose HIPAA complaint protocols despite not being a covered entity. The answer to the question: "Is customer data protected by HIPAA?" is essentially the same.

1. Any data that can be considered PHI (survey data, medical data, genetic data) is stored under HIPAA complaint guidelines. 2. Yes, we are HIPAA complaint.

And it's likely never going to be answered.
