# HIPAA Compliance & Langfuse Business Associate Agreement (BAA)

Langfuse offers a dedicated HIPAA-ready cloud region for eligible customers with healthcare or life-sciences workloads. This region is separate from the EU, US, and Japan Langfuse Cloud regions.

Eligible customers can enter into a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Langfuse for HIPAA-regulated use. Customers with HIPAA requirements should [complete the BAA via DocuSign](https://powerforms.docusign.net/39437499-4b13-4604-b373-2b1f2ae6f6fd?env=eu&acct=33986eaf-fde8-48d4-8d61-cf8c0f573e98&accountId=33986eaf-fde8-48d4-8d61-cf8c0f573e98) before processing Protected Health Information (PHI) in Langfuse.

## Availability

- **Data region:** [https://hipaa.cloud.langfuse.com](https://hipaa.cloud.langfuse.com/)
- **Location:** Oregon, AWS `us-west-2`
- **Eligible plans:** Pro plan or higher

## Signed BAA

Customers on Pro plan or higher in the HIPAA data region can [complete and sign the BAA via DocuSign](https://powerforms.docusign.net/39437499-4b13-4604-b373-2b1f2ae6f6fd?env=eu&acct=33986eaf-fde8-48d4-8d61-cf8c0f573e98&accountId=33986eaf-fde8-48d4-8d61-cf8c0f573e98). Do not process PHI in Langfuse until the signed BAA is in place.

## How to get started

1. Create a fresh Langfuse Cloud account in the [HIPAA data region](https://langfuse.com/security/data-regions).
2. Subscribe to [Pro plan or higher](https://langfuse.com/pricing).
3. [Complete and sign the BAA via DocuSign](https://powerforms.docusign.net/39437499-4b13-4604-b373-2b1f2ae6f6fd?env=eu&acct=33986eaf-fde8-48d4-8d61-cf8c0f573e98&accountId=33986eaf-fde8-48d4-8d61-cf8c0f573e98) before processing PHI.
4. Configure your application to send HIPAA-regulated data only to `https://hipaa.cloud.langfuse.com`.

The HIPAA region is completely separate from the [other data regions](https://langfuse.com/security/data-regions). Data migration is possible via the [data migration cookbook](https://langfuse.com/guides/cookbook/example_data_migration).

## Agent Instructions

This page is part of the [Langfuse](https://langfuse.com) documentation, published as plain Markdown for AI agents. Every page is available as Markdown by appending `.md` to its URL, or by sending an `Accept: text/markdown` header. This page: `https://langfuse.com/security/hipaa.md`.

### Querying these docs

If the answer is not on this page, query the documentation instead of guessing:

- **Semantic search** across all Langfuse docs, returning an answer with the relevant pages and excerpts. Ask a specific, self-contained question:

  ```bash
  curl -sG "https://langfuse.com/api/search-docs" --data-urlencode "query=How do I trace a LangGraph agent?"
  ```

- **Index of every page**: <https://langfuse.com/llms.txt>, with per-section indexes [llms-docs.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-docs.txt), [llms-integrations.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-integrations.txt), and [llms-self-hosting.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-self-hosting.txt).

### Before writing Langfuse code

- **Install the [Langfuse Agent Skill](https://langfuse.com/docs/api-and-data-platform/features/agent-skill).** It encodes Langfuse's own best practices for instrumentation, prompt management, and evaluation, and materially improves results.
- **Read [What does a good trace look like?](https://langfuse.com/docs/observability/best-practices.md)** before instrumenting an application.
- **Verify endpoints, parameters, and response fields** against the [API reference](https://api.reference.langfuse.com) instead of inferring them from code examples.
- **Use the [Langfuse CLI](https://langfuse.com/docs/api-and-data-platform/features/cli)** (`npx langfuse-cli api <resource> <action>`) to read or write traces, prompts, datasets, and scores from the terminal.
