Hey! I use a free fax app to send medical paperwork to my clinic, but now I’m hearing about potential privacy breaches. Should I be concerned?

Hi there! Yes, you should treat medical documents with the highest level of caution. Many free fax apps don’t comply with strict privacy regulations like HIPAA in the US. This means your sensitive health data could be stored in ways that aren’t fully secure, or even shared with third parties without your explicit consent.

Before sending more documents, you should confirm the app’s compliance and encryption practices. If privacy is a top priority, a paid, certified service might be a safer choice.
