Report Security Vulnerabilities Responsibly: If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it privately to security@valiyou.com rather than publicly disclosing it. We appreciate responsible disclosure.
Is Valiyou GDPR compliant and what does that mean for my data?
Yes, Valiyou is fully GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliant, which means we adhere to strict EU data protection requirements. This includes transparent data processing, the right to access and delete your data, data portability, breach notification within 72 hours, and privacy by design. You maintain complete ownership of your sponsorship data and can export or delete it at any time. We only collect data necessary to provide our services, never sell your information to third parties, and provide clear documentation on how we process your data. Enterprise customers can request a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for their compliance requirements.
What encryption standards does Valiyou use to protect my data?
Valiyou uses industry-standard encryption to protect your data both in transit and at rest. All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 (Transport Layer Security), the latest and most secure protocol. Data stored in our databases is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by banks and government agencies. Additionally, we implement encrypted backups, secure key management, and regular security audits to ensure your sponsorship valuations, sponsor information, and financial data remain completely protected from unauthorized access.
How does Valiyou handle data backups and disaster recovery?
Valiyou implements comprehensive backup and disaster recovery procedures to ensure your data is never lost. We perform daily automated backups with point-in-time recovery capabilities, allowing us to restore your data to any specific moment. Backups are encrypted, geographically distributed across multiple data centers, and tested regularly for integrity. Our infrastructure is hosted on enterprise-grade cloud platforms (Vercel, Supabase) with 99.9% uptime guarantees. In the unlikely event of a system failure, our disaster recovery procedures can restore full service within hours, with recovery point objectives (RPO) of less than 24 hours and recovery time objectives (RTO) of less than 4 hours.
What is ISO 27001 certification and why does it matter?
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Valiyou’s ISO 27001 certification means we have implemented and maintain comprehensive security controls covering physical security, access management, encryption, incident response, business continuity, and regular risk assessments. This certification is awarded after rigorous third-party audits and requires continuous compliance monitoring. For you, this means your sponsorship data is protected by systematically managed security processes that meet global best practices, not just ad-hoc security measures. ISO 27001 is particularly important for enterprise customers who need to demonstrate vendor security compliance to their own auditors and stakeholders.
Can I get a SOC 2 Type II report for vendor security assessments?
Yes, Valiyou maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance and reports are available upon request for enterprise customers and those undergoing vendor security assessments. SOC 2 Type II is an auditing standard that evaluates our security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls over a minimum six-month period. Unlike SOC 2 Type I (which evaluates design), Type II examines whether controls are actually operating effectively over time. To request our SOC 2 Type II report, contact security@valiyou.com with your company information and intended use. Reports are shared under NDA and typically processed within 2-3 business days.
How does Single Sign-On (SSO) improve security for my organization?
Single Sign-On (SSO) significantly enhances security by centralizing authentication through your existing identity provider (Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace). Benefits include: eliminating password reuse across systems, enforcing your organization’s password policies and multi-factor authentication requirements, enabling immediate access revocation when employees leave, providing centralized audit logs of user access, reducing phishing risks through federated authentication, and simplifying user onboarding and offboarding. SSO is available on Valiyou’s Enterprise plan and supports SAML 2.0 and OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect protocols. We can also enable automated user provisioning (SCIM) to sync your directory changes automatically.
What happens to my data if I cancel my Valiyou subscription?
Data ownership and portability are core principles at Valiyou. If you cancel your subscription, you retain complete ownership of your data and have several options: 1) Export all your data using our CSV and API export features before cancellation, 2) Request a complete data package from our support team, 3) Maintain read-only access for 30 days after cancellation to facilitate data migration. After 30 days, your data enters a 60-day retention period where it can be restored if you reactivate your subscription. After 90 days total, all data is permanently and securely deleted from our systems. Enterprise customers can negotiate custom data retention terms in their contracts.
How does Valiyou protect against unauthorized access and data breaches?
Valiyou implements multiple layers of security to prevent unauthorized access: Role-based access control (RBAC) with granular permissions, row-level security (RLS) ensuring users only see their authorized data, mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA) for sensitive operations, IP whitelisting for enterprise customers, session management with automatic timeouts, API key-based authentication with rate limiting, intrusion detection and prevention systems, regular penetration testing by third-party security firms, and 24/7 security monitoring. All access attempts are logged in our immutable audit trail. In the unlikely event of a security incident, we have an incident response plan and comply with GDPR’s 72-hour breach notification requirement.
Does Valiyou comply with industry-specific regulations for sports organizations?
Yes, Valiyou’s compliance framework supports various industry requirements beyond general data protection. For sports organizations, this includes: Financial data handling for sponsorship valuations and contracts, personally identifiable information (PII) protection for sponsor contacts and team members, intellectual property protection for brand assets and marketing materials, audit trail requirements for financial reporting, international data transfer compliance for global organizations, and integration with enterprise compliance systems. Our infrastructure meets requirements for SOX compliance (financial controls), PCI DSS considerations (payment data handling through third-party processors), and regional regulations like CCPA (California), LGPD (Brazil), and PIPEDA (Canada). Contact our compliance team for specific regulatory requirement discussions.
How can I verify Valiyou's security claims and certifications?
Transparency is fundamental to our trust model. You can verify our security posture through several channels: 1) Request our SOC 2 Type II report for detailed audit findings, 2) Review our ISO 27001 certification certificate (available upon request), 3) Contact our security team (security@valiyou.com) for completed security questionnaires or custom assessments, 4) Request penetration testing reports from our annual third-party security audits, 5) Review our public-facing security documentation at valiyou.io/trust-center, 6) Schedule a security call with our team to discuss specific concerns or requirements. For enterprise customers, we can provide additional documentation including Data Processing Agreements (DPA), Business Continuity Plans (BCP), and Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP).
