Privacy policy

VAT Validate is designed for lightweight validation without storing the VAT numbers entered into the checker.

VAT checks

When you run a VAT check, the country code and VAT number are sent to the VIES service so the check can be performed.

VAT Validate does not save the VAT ID in application storage. Operational logs may include a short hash, country code, timing, and upstream status for debugging and abuse prevention.

Waitlist submissions

If you join the API or batch validation waitlist, we process the contact details you submit so we can evaluate demand and follow up.

Waitlist submissions may be delivered to a configured internal webhook or appear in operational logs used by the site operator.

No tax advice

The service provides informational responses from VIES and is not legal, accounting, or tax advice.

Do not enter confidential data beyond the VAT number required for validation and the contact details you choose to submit.
