European Union Standard

Privacy by Design.

Veritag is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We ensure that verification never comes at the cost of consumer privacy.

Data Minimization

We only collect the absolute minimum data required to verify a product's authenticity.

Anonymous Scans

Product scans are anonymous by default. No personal tracking is required for verification.

EU Residency

Data for EU clients is stored exclusively on encrypted servers within the European Union.

DPA Included

Our standard Data Processing Agreement is integrated into every enterprise contract.

1. Roles and Responsibility

In the context of Veritag services:

  • Veritag as Data Processor: We act as a processor for our business clients (manufacturers) who use our platform to manage their product authenticity.
  • Manufacturer as Data Controller: Our clients are the controllers of the data they collect during the product verification journey (e.g., warranty registrations).

2. Data Subject Access Rights

We provide tools to our clients to ensure they can honor the following GDPR rights for their customers:

Right to Access

Instant exports of all data associated with a specific user ID.

Right to Erasure

Automated "Forget Me" requests that purge user-product associations.

Right to Portability

Standard JSON/CSV exports for easy data movement.

Right to Rectification

Simple interfaces for users to update their product registrations.

3. Data Collection Logic

Our verification technology is uniquely engineered to provide security without tracking. Here is our default data collection logic:

Data Point Collected? Purpose
IP Address Temporary Fraud detection & Rate limiting only
Geo-Location Coarse Regional authenticity heatmaps (City-level)
User Identity No Verification works without an account
Browser Specs Yes Optimizing the mobile scan interface

4. Approved Sub-processors

To deliver our service, we use a limited number of sub-processors who meet our strict security standards:

  • Google Cloud (Belgium/Germany) Infrastructure & Hosting
  • Postmark (EU Instance) Transactional Email
  • Cloudflare CDN & WAF Security
