Consumer Health data Policy

 

This Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice explains how Allurion Technologies, Inc., with its registered office at 11 Huron Drive, 01760 Natick, MA, USA (“Allurion," “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects consumer health data when you use the Allurion website (https://allurion.com) and our App. It also outlines your rights and choices regarding this data. This policy supplements our general Privacy Policy.

1. What Consumer Health Data We Collect

When you use the App to support your health and overall wellness, we may collect the following types of consumer health data:

  • Individual health conditions, treatment, diseases, or diagnosis. We collect self-reported information through our App about your health, lifestyle and wellbeing. This may also include your height, weight, Body Mass Index, pregnancy status, and information about whether you have previously undergone procedures, data related to your weight, diet, lifestyle, medications (dosage, timing, frequency), images, and other information relevant to your care. Although we do not diagnose medical conditions, this information may reflect aspects of your health or perceived wellbeing and may be considered indicative of a health condition.
  • Social, psychological, behavioral, and medical interventions. Based on your responses and how you interact with the App, we may collect information about behavioral or medical routines related to your health, such as the amount and type of physical activity in which you engage, diet and eating behaviors, and the use of medications. These features are intended to support your ongoing health and wellness and to help facilitate communication with your healthcare provider.
  • Health-related surgeries or procedures. If you choose to voluntarily share information about past or planned medical procedures or surgeries, that information may be collected and stored as part of your account data.
  • Bodily functions, vital signs, symptoms, or measurements of the foregoing. You may choose to provide information about your physical state, such as digestive symptoms or other bodily measurements such as weight and body composition data collected through the App.
  • Any inferences drawn from the above categories of health data derived or extrapolated from non-health information. We may draw limited inferences about your wellbeing based on how you interact with the App, including how often you log in or complete symptoms check-ins and data that you upload to or via the App. While this information is not health data on its own, it may suggest wellness needs. These inferences are used only to personalize your experience and are not used or shared for advertising or promotional purposes.

2. How We Collect Consumer Health Data

We collect consumer health data in the following ways: (a) directly from you; (b) from your use of the App; and (c) from third-party services and devices that you choose to connect to the App (such as Fitbit, Apple Health, and other compatible services). Specifically, we collect consumer health data directly from you:

  • When you fill out questionnaires or assessments.
  • When you upload images or symptom information.
  • When you interact with the App features, such as wellness tools, reporting, conversational features, and when you upload information from any connected devices like our smart scale.
  • We may also receive health and fitness data that you choose to share from third-party services and devices that you choose to connect to the App, such as Fitbit, Apple Health, and other compatible third-party services.

We may also generate inferences from your App usage, for example, if you use a certain feature frequently, we may suggest similar content.

3. Why We Use Consumer Health Data

We collect and use your consumer health data as necessary to provide you with the products and services you request through the App to support your wellness, generate personalized insights, enable secure communication of your health information with your designated provider, support virtual consultations, and, with your consent, to conduct scientific research relating to the Allurion Program. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before collecting or using your consumer health data for purposes beyond what is necessary to provide the products or services you have requested. This includes:

  • Helping you manage your care. We use your data to deliver personalized summaries, reminders, scheduling assistance, and wellness tips based on the information you provide and provide relevant in-app content or alerts.
  • Sharing data with your doctor. With your consent, we make your submitted information (like images and symptom updates) available to your designated provider and their staff (such as technicians or assistants) for review during virtual or follow-up visits, to support your care.
  • Improving the App. We analyze anonymized or aggregated data to understand what features are most helpful and improve App design, content, and functionality.
  • LLM-based insights. We may use de-identified data with large language models (LLMs) to generate helpful summaries, wellness recommendations, or user insights. These tools do not receive identifiable health data.
  • Legal compliance and safety. We use data to meet legal obligations, protect the App and its users, and detect unauthorized or harmful activity.
  • With your consent. If you choose to share your data for a different purpose, we will explain how it will be used at that time.

4. When We Disclose Consumer Health Data

We may disclose your consumer health data in the following limited circumstances:

  • With service providers that help us operate the App and provide the Services (e.g., hosting, analytics, secure storage, AI technology providers, customer care management), who process consumer health data on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions.
  • With your healthcare providers and their staff, including your selected clinic, if you choose to share your information with them or as necessary to assess your eligibility for the Allurion Program.
  • With legal or regulatory authorities when required to comply with the law or protect rights, safety, or integrity.
  • In connection with a business transfer, such as a merger, financing, acquisition, sale of assets, or bankruptcy transaction or proceeding, in which case we may disclose your consumer health data to the prospective buyer or seller of such business or assets, as well as their and/or our business and legal advisors.
  • With others, but only if you direct us to or provide your explicit consent.

We do not sell your consumer health data.

5. Data Retention

We retain consumer health data for as long as is reasonably necessary and proportionate for the purposes described in this Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice, while we have a legitimate business need to do so, or as required by applicable law, whichever is longer. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.

6. Your Rights and How to Exercise Them
