In relation to processing highly sensitive data. VEED takes security and data privacy very seriously. However, we note there are types of particularly sensitive data (such as patient health data or national security information) that certain jurisdictions do not allow to be processed outside of their territory or would require additional controls that VEED does not have in place. As such we request:

  1. Users do not upload or request processing by VEED of data that would require privacy and security standards higher than those set out under GDPR.

  2. We can discuss specific or custom data processing requirements for Enterprise contracts. Please contact our sales team to find out more.

  3. Specifically, please do not upload the following data to VEED:

    1. social security numbers or other government-issued identification numbers;

    2. protected health information subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or other information regarding an individual’s medical history, mental or physical condition, or medical treatment or diagnosis by a health care professional;

    9. data relating to criminal convictions and offences or related security measures
