How do you stop the automatic back-up to iCloud?

iMore Question

iPhones automatically back up data to iCloud every 24 hours, or at anytime if done manually. I have sensitive health information that I dictate into my iPhone and I am concerned that this may be getting backed-up automatically to iCloud. How do I turn that off to ensure healthcare privacy and security regulations are followed?

Setting - iCloud then turn OFF "Backup".

Any HIPPA complaint app should store data in an encrypted manner such that backing up that data is not a risk. If any app or process you're using is NOT HIPPA compliant, you should stop using/doing it.
