Hi there, I’m helping a family member send some healthcare forms and we thought a free fax app might be the fastest way. But before I go ahead, does anyone know if it’s safe for private medical information?

Hi! Healthcare forms contain some of the most sensitive personal information, so you’re right to think twice. Free fax apps often don’t meet the same privacy standards as secure healthcare communication tools. If the app isn’t HIPAA-compliant (in the US) or doesn’t have equivalent protections, your data could be at risk of interception or misuse.
Even if the transmission itself is encrypted, many apps store copies temporarily. If the servers aren’t properly secured, that could lead to data leaks. For a thorough breakdown of how to handle such documents online, I’d strongly recommend visiting liveballot.com — they explain the safest ways to send private documents and what to avoid.
