HIPAA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Maple54, operating under the brand name MapleVoice ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), provides AI voice agent services to businesses across healthcare, legal, financial, and other regulated industries. This HIPAA Compliance Statement explains how MapleVoice supports Covered Entities and Business Associates that use our platform to handle calls involving Protected Health Information (PHI).
This page is intended as a disclosure of our compliance posture and operational practices. It does not replace the Business Associate Agreement (BAA) that must be executed between MapleVoice and any Customer that transmits, stores, or processes PHI through the platform.
By using MapleVoice in a HIPAA-regulated workflow, you agree that production use of the platform with PHI requires a signed BAA and adherence to the responsibilities described below.

- Customer connects MapleVoice to an EHR, practice management system, scheduling system, or other system containing PHI
3.2 Executing a BAA
To request a BAA, contact compliance@maplevoice.ai. Our standard BAA is available for review prior to execution and follows the minimum required elements under 45 CFR § 164.504(e).
3.3 Permitted Uses and Disclosures

7. AI PROCESSING OF PHI
7.1 Scope of AI Processing
MapleVoice uses speech-to-text, large language models, and text-to-speech technologies to operate AI voice agents. When PHI is present in a call, all AI processing is performed in HIPAA-aligned environments under the terms of the BAA.
7.2 No Training on Customer PHI
MapleVoice does not use Customer PHI to train general-purpose or shared AI models. Any model tuning that involves Customer data is limited to that Customer's own deployment and is governed by the BAA.
7.3 Sub-Processor AI Providers
Where MapleVoice uses third-party AI providers to deliver the Services, each such provider is contractually bound by a BAA or equivalent terms that restrict the use of PHI to service delivery and prohibit training on Customer data.
8. MINIMUM NECESSARY STANDARD
MapleVoice applies the Minimum Necessary Standard under 45 CFR § 164.502(b). Workforce access to PHI is limited to personnel whose job functions require it, and access is scoped to the minimum data necessary to perform the task at hand.
