Progyny Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025 | Reviewed: February 2026

Employer-sponsored fertility benefits create complex data flows between patients, providers, employers, and Progyny. Sensitive reproductive data is shared more broadly than many patients realize.

25
Grade D
Privacy Summary: Progyny collects extensive sensitive health data including treatment details, genetic testing results, and reproductive outcomes. As an employer-sponsored benefit, aggregated and sometimes identifiable data flows to employers. HIPAA provides some protection, but business associate arrangements allow broad data sharing with vendors and partners.

Key Findings

🔎 Employer Data Flows
As an employer-sponsored benefit, Progyny shares data with employers including utilization metrics, aggregate outcomes, and cost information. While individual health details are protected by HIPAA, the employer knows who is using fertility benefits.
"We provide your employer with aggregate utilization data and may share individual enrollment status as permitted by applicable law and your employer's plan."
🔎 Genetic Information Collection
Progyny facilitates genetic testing including PGT-A and PGT-M. Genetic testing results, carrier screening data, and related information are collected and shared with laboratories and clinic networks.
"We may collect genetic testing information in connection with your fertility treatment, including results from preimplantation genetic testing."
🔎 Extensive Vendor Network
Data is shared with a broad network of fertility clinics, laboratories, pharmacies, and technology vendors. Each entity has its own privacy practices and data retention policies.
"We share information with our network providers, laboratory partners, pharmacy benefit managers, and technology service providers to administer your benefits."
🔎 Long-Term Data Retention
Health records are retained for extended periods as required by law and for operational purposes. Your fertility journey data may persist long after treatment ends or employment changes.
"We retain your information as required by applicable law and for legitimate business purposes, which may extend beyond your participation in the program."

Recommendation

High Privacy Risk: Progyny's employer-sponsored model creates inherent privacy tensions. Your employer knows you're using fertility benefits, and extensive data flows to clinics, labs, and vendors.

For Users: Understand that using employer-sponsored fertility benefits reduces privacy. Consider whether sensitive genetic testing should be done through the benefit or independently. Request copies of all privacy authorizations before treatment.
