The shape of the work

Built around the work DPOs actually do.

01

Clients

Keep every controller, contact and engagement in one place.

02

DSARs

Track requests, deadlines, searches, exemptions and responses.

03

ROPA

Maintain records of processing without spreadsheet sprawl.

04

DPIAs

Assess risk, document decisions and retain the evidence.

05

Breaches

Keep the 72-hour clock visible from the moment you’re aware.

06

Evidence

Create a defensible record of what happened, when it happened and why.

The difference

Veld can’t read
your client data.

Veld is designed so that your client data remains unreadable to Veld. Your encryption key stays with you.

On this device

The default, and the free plan. Nothing is transmitted at all — the portal is served with connect-src 'none', so the browser itself refuses to let it open a connection. On this setting Veld is not a processor of your clients’ data, because Veld receives none of it.

Synced across your devices

Veld stores the sealed workspace so any device can open it, and holds ciphertext with no key that opens it — the key is derived from your password by PBKDF2 and never leaves your machine. On this setting Veld is a processor, under an Article 28 contract.

The security page also sets out what this design does not protect against. Lose the password and the recovery key and nobody can help — including Veld.

Practitioner-led

You decide. Veld documents it.

Veld doesn’t replace professional judgement. It helps you record it.

Cited, not generated. You choose the searches, the outcome and the exemptions. Veld assembles the letter around those decisions and quotes the provision in full — Article 15(4), Schedule 2 Part 3 paragraph 16, not “an exemption applies”.

Integrations

Works with what you already run.

Veld exports a documented, versioned file with a SHA-256 of every record in it. Anything that reads JSON or a spreadsheet can read your registers — no API key, no connector to trust, nothing of yours held by us.

Vanta Outlook calendar Google Calendar Apple Calendar Your auditor Your next DPO Your client
JSON interchange CSV PDF Word .docx Excel .xlsx Calendar .ics SHA-256 manifest

The file is the integration. One documented format, versioned separately from anything inside Veld, carrying a digest the recipient can recompute. A compliance platform, an auditor and the practitioner who takes over from you all read the same thing.

Vanta also has a connector you run yourself, so the push happens on your machine under your own credential — which is why connecting it adds no sub-processor to your Article 28 arrangements. Requests and breaches travel as counts and dates; nothing identifying a data subject ever leaves in an assurance export.

Less administration. More privacy work.

Veld is built for people who manage data protection professionally. It handles the structure, deadlines, records and evidence so you can focus on the decisions that actually require your expertise.

Why Veld exists

Built from the work.

Veld was not commissioned, funded or road-mapped. It grew out of a single data protection practice that needed a tool no vendor was selling — one place for the controllers, the statutory clocks, the registers and the evidence that were otherwise spread across a dozen files.

That is still the test every feature has to pass: not would this look good in a demo, but would this have survived a Tuesday when a request landed while you were on site with someone else.

Getting started

You don’t need us to let you in

The free portal opens in your browser, creates the workspace on your machine and starts working — no account, nothing for us to provision. Evaluate it on your own book before you speak to anyone, including us. Add syncing later if you want it on more than one device.

  • Open it now — no account, no card, no sales call
  • Every register works from the first minute, uncapped and free — it is not a trial
  • Your data is yours, and the key that opens it is only ever on your machine

These details reach Kay and nobody else, and are used only to reply to you — see our privacy notice. Note that this form does post to our server; the portal itself never does.

Your practice deserves better
than a spreadsheet.
