alpinDent: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

alpinDent is practice management software for dental clinics from Alpinify GmbH in Emmenbrücke. It bundles a drag-and-drop calendar for chairs and staff, digital patient records with a colour-coded odontogram, billing, reporting and automatic reminders by SMS and email. The software is cloud-based and works from any device, in several languages including German, French and Italian. Online booking is available via the sister product alpinBook.

Alpinify GmbH is a Swiss company. According to its privacy policy, all customer and end-user data is stored on servers in Switzerland and/or the European Union, without naming a location per customer; for patient data Alpinify acts as the practice's processor. The policy refers to the Swiss FADP and, where applicable, the GDPR. Switzerland is not an EU member state but is an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision. Ask where your data is kept and which sub-processors are used.

Why digital sovereignty matters with alpinDent

alpinDent is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

alpinDent hosts data in the EU and in Switzerland. Switzerland is covered by a European Commission adequacy decision, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. If you require strictly EU hosting, check the data processing agreement for which data is stored in Switzerland.

alpinDent is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs alpinDent together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
