Data Security & Privacy Compliance

At VELOFINE, we understand that handling traffic violations and payment data requires the highest level of trust, integrity, and security. Our platform is built with a "Privacy by Design" approach to ensure the protection of both government data and citizen privacy.

1. Regulatory Compliance

We are fully committed to adhering to the strictest international data protection standards:

• GDPR Compliant: Our operations and data processing protocols meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

• Swiss nFADP: We comply with the new Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, ensuring the highest level of privacy for Swiss residents and authorities.

• PCI-DSS Level 1: All financial transactions are processed through payment gateways that meet the highest security standards for credit card data.

2. Architecture & Encryption

Your data is protected by multiple layers of advanced security:

• End-to-End Encryption: All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2/1.3, and data at rest is secured using AES-256 encryption.

• Secure API Integration: Our automated link between traffic authorities and rental fleets uses encrypted, tokenized API calls, ensuring no sensitive data is exposed or stored unnecessarily.

• Zero-Knowledge Principles: We minimize data retention. Once a fine is settled, sensitive personal identifiers are anonymized or purged according to regulatory requirements.

3. Infrastructure & Resilience

• Local Hosting Options: To comply with Swiss sovereignty requirements, we offer data hosting on Swiss-based cloud servers (e.g., Azure Switzerland or AWS Zurich) to ensure data remains within the jurisdiction.

• Continuous Monitoring: Our systems undergo regular automated vulnerability scans and third-party penetration testing to preemptively identify and mitigate risks.

• Access Control: We implement strict Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Role-Based Access

• Control (RBAC) to ensure that only authorized personnel can access relevant systems.

4. Commitment to Transparency

VELOFINE acts as a Data Processor with the utmost transparency. We provide our partners with detailed Data Processing Agreements (DPA) and maintain a comprehensive audit trail for all automated transactions.

5. Renter & Driver Privacy Protection We prioritize the privacy of the individual driver. Our system is designed to minimize data exposure:

• Data Minimization: We only access the specific data points required to facilitate the payment of the fine (e.g., contact info for notification).

• Encrypted Notifications: All communication sent to the driver’s smartphone is delivered via secure, encrypted channels.

• Automated Purging: Once the settlement is confirmed by the authority, the connection between the specific rental contract and the violation is decoupled in our active processing database to prevent unnecessary profiling.
