Alan - Privacy Policy
Alan - Privacy Policy
A privacy policy is often a big, intimidating block of text that is supposed to reassure you but you don't read.
We have written ours to be as clear and accessible as possible, so that you understand exactly how your personal data is used by Alan.
Enjoy your reading.
Table of contents
In the course of its activity as an health insurer and as a health and management services provider, Alan is required to process your personal data, including sensitive data. We attach the utmost importance to the security and confidentiality of the data of Alan's services’ users, whether on the alan.com website or on the mobile application made available to them.
The purpose of this privacy policy is to help you understand how we treat the personal data you provide us with, in accordance with the GDPR.
This privacy policy may be updated regularly, to enrich it, according to Alan's needs, circumstances or if required by law. We therefore invite you to check for updates on a regular basis, although we will always notify you of any significant changes affecting the way your data is processed.
Version dated February 18th, 2026
Above all, we have set ourselves two key principles which are also included in our contracts:
- Alan will never sell the data collected about its members in connection with the services offered. We make our living by building and managing insurance products and services around health, not by reselling our users' data. Users remain in control of their data.
- As a health insurer, Alan will never use health data to apply differentiated rates based on a member's situation or history. We strongly believe in the strength of solidarity and risk sharing between insured members.
Furthermore, in accordance with the regulations and particularly the GDPR, we undertake to collect and process only the data that is strictly necessary for their purpose. Similarly, we undertake to ensure that the data collected is kept in a form that allows your identification for a period that does not exceed the time required for the purposes for which the data is collected and processed.

Alan, including all of its affiliates (Alan Insurance, Alan Services, Alan Tech, Alan CA, Marmot BE and Marmot Iberia) is a health insurer and does not mainly act as a data processor for our clients but as a data controller in the sense of article 4 of the GDPR on all operations relating to its insurance and health services described in this policy :
- Alan determines the means and purposes of data processing necessary for the implementation of the complementary health protection of employees. In practice, only employees' professional email addresses are transmitted by the company to Alan. Other information is directly communicated by the employee or his beneficiary;
- The operations carried out on the data by Alan are necessary for its own activity as a health insurer and not for that of the companies that choose Alan as insurer for their employees. The criteria mentioned in the data processor’s guide issued in September 2017 by the CNIL exclude Alan's qualification as a subcontractor.
However, Alan can also process personal data on behalf of its client companies, within the scope of certain services provided on the Alan platform, in particular administrative management assistance services for human resources. Alan acts as a "data processor" of the company, and the processing of personal data is done under the responsibility of the company, which then acts as the data controller. The General Conditions governing the relationship between Alan and the client companies include a data processing agreement (DPA) reflecting this distribution. You can take a look at the privacy policies of the client companies directly for more details on how they process your personal data.
If you have any questions regarding security and personal data, or to exercise your rights of access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent, limitation of processing, opposition to processing or portability, you may contact us and our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at [email protected]. Alan will ensure that you receive a response promptly.
For any complaint concerning your personal data, you can either contact our DPO or contact the Data Protection Authority.

Alan treats the personal data of the beneficiaries in the same way as those of any other user insured member in this capacity.

By default, both the insured members and the beneficiaries (if they are of legal age and choose to access Alan's online insurance or management services themselves) will be able to view all account information related to the insurance services, without separation. Information about health services (such as private chat as part of Alan Clinic) is not shared. Members with an Alan account can also choose to restrict visibility of their care acts to other members covered under the same policy.

Data security is an extremely important issue for Alan: we do our utmost to be worthy of the trust you place in us. Here are a few examples of the measures we have taken. If you have any questions on a specific point, we will be happy to answer them at [email protected].
Alan achieved ISO27001:2022 certification with SGS (certification body), validating our information security management system and our data protection measures. This certification covers all of Alan’s activities.
We use Datadog App Security to detect and block in real time attacks such as XSS, SQL injection, account theft, etc.
We also use Cloudflare to protect us from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
All HTTP traffic to and from alan.com and api.alan.com is encrypted (HTTPS / TLS). You can evaluate our configuration here.
The first time a user logs on, we tell their browser (via the HSTS mechanism) that all subsequent connections must be encrypted (HTTPS), including when a link to alan.com starts with http:// instead of https://.
When using the Alan Clinic services, your questions to our medical team, answers and attached documents are secured by an additional layer of application encryption entirely and exclusively under the control of our medical team. No one other than the Alan medical team is technically able to consult these exchanges.
We use PostgreSQL databases. The data is encrypted using the AES-256 standard and the encryption keys are managed by AWS.
The backup archives are also encrypted.
We use the open-source zxcvbn-ts library to let users know the strength of the password they choose. The minimum size is 16 characters, including alphanumeric characters and symbols, and the minimum score is 4.
We do not store these passwords: we only store a non-reversible hash calculated by the open-source bcrypt library, with the following parameters :
- a cost of 12 (i.e. 4096 iterations) to limit brute force type attacks
- one random salt per user to protect against rainbow tables
All Alan employees receive mandatory training in security (including social engineering) and data privacy. They use complex and unique passwords and strong authentication (2FA) whenever possible. The use of a password manager such as 1Password is also mandatory.
Our computers are automatically updated and have their hard disk encrypted (in case of theft). Our screens lock automatically.
Access to our internal administration tools requires individual access from an authorised IP address and all data modifications (by an Alan employee or by a user himself) are audited.
We organise intrusion tests by independent companies.
All Alan services and applications are developed in-house. Our code is validated by automated tools (static analysis, security, etc.) and manually by a second pair of eyes.
In order to protect your data on your computer or mobile phone, you can take a few simple measures:
- apply regular system updates to benefit from security patches;
- use antivirus software to detect the presence of malware or spyware, or to disable security features;
- protect your passwords well (your Alan account password, your mailbox password...);
- enable two-step authentication in the mobile application. After entering your email and password at login, you will receive an email with a unique code to enter the application.
You can also consult the official recommendations on good IT security practices.

Can I refuse?
Of course you can! During your first visit on our website (or if you use your browser's private or incognito browsing), a banner (called a cookie banner) will be displayed asking you for permission to use cookies. Simply refuse and no cookies (other than those we need to operate the site and allow you to use our online chat) will be set. If you accept, your consent will be valid for 13 months from the date of registration.
Simply put, no.
You will receive emails from us, but in the vast majority of cases it will be in the context of the execution of our contract, for example to invite you to register, to ask you for additional information to enable a refund or to inform you of contractual modifications or changes related to your account. There is no escaping this, but it is for your own good.
A small minority of emails are not directly related to our contract with you or your employer, but are still for a legitimate interest (e.g. to offer to sponsor a relative with a financial reward, to send you a quote, or to announce new services similar to those you currently enjoy).
If you are an administrator, you may also receive commercial offers from us. In these cases, you always have the possibility of unsubscribing from this type of message by following the link in each of our emails (opt-out).
You can also choose to subscribe to our newsletter or to our waiting lists to be notified of the availability of our new services (opt-in).
As for push notifications, we will ask for your permission directly in the mobile application and you will be able to deactivate or reactivate them from your phone.
