Data Ethics and Security

Responsible Data Handling

At VATLIFIED, responsible data handling is a core part of our service. We process only the information necessary to validate VAT numbers and ensure proper documentation. Our approach is based on the principles of data minimization, transparency, and strong data security.

Transparency in Validation

All VAT validations in VATLIFIED are performed directly against the official VIES database (VAT Information Exchange System). We do not modify, interpret, or enrich this data. We act solely as a verification service.

This ensures that all results are:

  • • Objective
  • • Traceable
  • • Based on official EU sources

Secure Data Storage

Validation results are stored in a secure web database that is accessible only to authorized users. We use modern security standards to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

Access to data is managed through secure login mechanisms and access control, ensuring that only relevant users can access the information.

Documentation and Traceability

VATLIFIED is not only a validation tool, but also a documentation platform. All lookups are stored and can be accessed later, ensuring full traceability.

This allows companies to:

  • • Document their validation process
  • • Present history during audits
  • • Ensure compliance in connection with EU trade

GDPR and Compliance

VATLIFIED is designed with a focus on applicable EU legislation, including the GDPR. We support companies in meeting requirements for documentation and proper data handling in connection with VAT validation. Customers remain in control of their own data, and we continuously work to ensure that our solutions comply with applicable standards and legal requirements.

No Use of Artificial Intelligence

VATLIFIED does not use artificial intelligence in the validation process. All lookups are performed directly against official databases to ensure maximum transparency, accuracy, and reliability.

Trust as the Foundation

We know that trust is essential when it comes to data. That is why security, transparency, and responsibility are not just features in VATLIFIED; they are the foundation of our entire service. With VATLIFIED, you can be confident that your data is handled correctly, securely, and in accordance with applicable rules.
