Q: Does Gemini app (personal Google account) sign a HIPAA BAA?

Not confirmed. Google publishes no BAA route for the Gemini app used with a personal Google account, and it asks users not to enter confidential information that a human reviewer might see. The same app is a HIPAA-covered service only when used with a Google Workspace account under the organization's BAA (see Gemini for Google Workspace).

By plan

Plan	BAA	How to get it	Conditions
Personal Google account (free or paid Google AI subscription)	Not confirmed	Not stated	Google's HIPAA pages describe BAA coverage only for Google Workspace and Google Cloud customers. They list the Gemini App as a Workspace service but say nothing about personal accounts. The Gemini Apps Privacy Hub says a subset of chats is reviewed by humans and asks users not to enter confidential information. Google never says outright that it won't sign a BAA here, so the verdict is unknown rather than no.[1],[2],[3]

Are the AI features covered?

Vendors often sign a BAA for the core product but leave some AI features out. Here is what Google says about each one.

AI feature	Under the BAA	Details
Gemini app chats (web, mobile)	Not stated	With a personal account, a subset of chats goes to human reviewers after being disconnected from the account. Licensed Workspace users instead get enterprise data protections, with no human review and no model training.[1],[3]

A signed BAA is necessary but not sufficient for HIPAA compliance, which also depends on configuration, access controls, and your own policies.
