Security and Backup Add-on Plan
or
Business Associate Agreement (BAA)
iPlum provides BAA annually for each iPlum number after you get and maintain the “Security and backup” add-on plan along with iPlum number plan. BAA is free when you have iPlum Annual Unlimited Number, otherwise it is $20 per year.
