    Hi,

    We need to create some HIPAA complaint forms for one of our web application and considering using JotForms for it.

    We have some queries regarding its usage:

    1. Do you save form data in mysql database?
    2. Can we connect and access this database in our web application?
    3. Can we add some additional tables as well to this database?

    Please note that data is saved in our database but you will not have access to the database directly. If you want to send a copy of the submission data to your own MySQL database, with  a little workaround, it is possible to achieve your requirement. You may like to take a look at the following guide which should help you:  https://www.jotform.com/help/126-How-to-send-Submissions-to-Your-MySQL-Database-Using-PHP

    Since you want to create form in HIPAA complaint account, I am not sure if sending the data to your own database violates the HIPAA compliance.
