How We Handle GDPR & Data Privacy.

If you're wondering whether a CO2 reporting tool like Verdio handles your data, here's how we keep your data safe, simple, and private.

“What about my data privacy?”

It’s a fair question.

When you’re uploading operational or supplier data, you want confidence that it’s handled with care and not just for compliance, but because it’s your business.

From day one, Verdio was built with privacy at the core. Not as an afterthought, but as part of our commitment to clarity, control, and trust.

What Is GDPR, and Why Does It Matter?

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the EU’s gold standard for data protection.

If your business operates in Europe or works with European clients, you’re expected to handle data responsibly — including how you collect, store, and process it.

What Kind of Data Does Verdio Use?

Unlike many SaaS tools, Verdio doesn’t rely on personal data.

We focus on business activity data — not individual identities.

Examples include:

• Emissions sources (e.g. energy use, transport types)

• Supplier spending and categories

• Business travel or logistics data

You typically won’t need to upload anything personally identifiable (PII).

And if you do, it’s optional — and handled securely.

How Verdio Keeps Your Data Safe

We follow privacy best practices by default, including:

• Data Minimization → Only the data you need to generate a report

• Access Control → Only your team can access your account and reports

• Right to Be Forgotten → You can permanently delete your data at any time

• EU-Based Hosting → All data is stored on GDPR-compliant European servers

Privacy-First by Design

Verdio isn’t a patched-together system of spreadsheets or third-party tools.

We’re built for modern, collaborative teams — with transparency at the center.

• No surprise tracking

• No hidden data flows

• No vendor lock-in

Why This Matters for Sustainability Teams

Many platforms focus only on the output, the CO₂ report.

We believe how we handle your data is just as important as what it tells you.

Because carbon reporting is ongoing.

And you deserve a tool that respects your trust every step of the way.

The takeaway

• Verdio is fully GDPR-aligned

• We don’t rely on personal data, just operational signals

• You control your data at all times

• Privacy isn’t just a box we tick it’s how we operate
