This Notice describes how Tendly handles Protected Health Information as a Business Associate under HIPAA. It is separate from and supplements the Tendly Privacy Policy. If you are a practitioner using the Tendly App, both documents apply to you.
This Notice of Privacy Practices ("Notice") is published by The Price Group Holdings LLC, doing business as Tendly ("Tendly"). It describes how Tendly, acting as a HIPAA Business Associate, handles Protected Health Information ("PHI") that practitioners store, transmit, and process through the Tendly application.
Tendly is a Business Associate — not a Covered Entity. Tendly provides practice management software to healthcare providers, therapists, coaches, and other wellness practitioners ("practitioners"). Practitioners are the Covered Entities (or work for Covered Entities) under HIPAA. Tendly processes PHI on their behalf pursuant to a Business Associate Agreement ("BAA").
This Notice is provided for transparency. Your practitioner clients' rights with respect to their PHI are governed by your own Notice of Privacy Practices, which you as a practitioner are required to provide to your clients.

PHI is individually identifiable health information that relates to:
Within the Tendly App, PHI includes but is not limited to: client names, dates of birth, contact information, diagnoses, session notes, treatment plans, progress notes, assessments, medications, insurance information, and clinical correspondence.
As a Business Associate, Tendly uses and discloses PHI only as permitted or required by the BAA and applicable law. Tendly does not use or disclose PHI in a manner that would violate HIPAA if done by the practitioner directly.
Tendly uses and discloses PHI only for the following purposes:
Providing contracted services to practitioners:
For Tendly's own operations as a Business Associate:
As required by law:
Tendly discloses PHI to the following subprocessors, each of which has signed a BAA with Tendly:
| Subprocessor | Nature of disclosure |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database storage — all PHI stored in the App resides in Supabase infrastructure |
| Vercel | Application hosting — PHI transits through Vercel's infrastructure when accessed |
| Daily.co | Telehealth video — video session content for practitioners using built-in telehealth |
| OpenAI | AI note generation — session audio or text descriptions submitted by practitioner for note drafting; not retained or used for training |
| Twilio | SMS reminders — client phone numbers and appointment details for notification delivery |
| Resend | Email delivery — client email addresses and appointment details for transactional emails |
| Claim.MD | Insurance billing — claim data and clinical information for claim submission and ERA processing for practitioners using the insurance billing add-on |
Tendly does not disclose PHI to any subprocessor not listed above without updating this Notice and, where required, obtaining appropriate authorisations.
Tendly maintains administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI in accordance with the HIPAA Security Rule:
Administrative safeguards:
Physical safeguards:
Technical safeguards:
In the event of a breach of unsecured PHI involving data entrusted to Tendly, we will:
Practitioners remain responsible for notifying their affected clients, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"), and where applicable, prominent media outlets, as required by the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule (45 CFR §§ 164.400–414).
Tendly will cooperate fully with any practitioner's breach response and investigation, and will provide all information in Tendly's possession reasonably necessary for the practitioner to fulfil their breach notification obligations.
The Business Associate Agreement you entered into with Tendly upon account creation includes the following terms relevant to PHI:
Access and amendment: Tendly will make PHI available to you as the practitioner in the manner described in the BAA to allow you to fulfil access and amendment requests from your clients.
Accounting of disclosures: Tendly will make available to you information about disclosures of PHI made by Tendly in a manner that allows you to respond to requests for an accounting of disclosures.
Minimum necessary: Tendly accesses and uses the minimum amount of PHI necessary to carry out its obligations under the BAA.
Return or destruction: Upon termination of the BAA (i.e. closure of your Tendly account), Tendly will destroy all PHI in its systems within 30 days, unless retention is required by law, in which case Tendly will maintain the protections described in this Notice for so long as it retains the PHI.
HHS access: Tendly will make its internal practices, books, and records available to HHS for purposes of determining compliance with HIPAA, as required by 45 CFR § 164.504(e)(2)(ii)(H).
PHI stored in the Tendly App is retained for the duration of the practitioner's active account. When an account is deleted or terminated:
Practitioners may request deletion of specific client records at any time from within the App. Practitioners may request complete account deletion by contacting privacy@tendly.health.
If you believe Tendly has violated your rights or the terms of the BAA with respect to PHI, you may:
Tendly will not retaliate against any practitioner for filing a complaint.
Tendly reserves the right to change this Notice at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Notice, except that for material changes to how we handle PHI, we will provide at least 14 days' advance notice by email to affected practitioners.
The current version of this Notice is always available at app.tendly.health/legal/notice-of-privacy-practices and will reflect the effective date of the most recent revision.
