Security

Built to protectwhat matters most.

We work with your most sensitive data, and we know how much security matters to every dealership. That's why evolane is built on modern, state-of-the-art technology, running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the same cloud trusted by the world's leading banks, insurers and healthcare companies, and even government intelligence agencies.

At a glance

Security, built in.

  • Your numbers stay private.

    Each dealership's data is securely isolated, and department-level permissions let you decide exactly who on your team sees what. Any market comparisons use combined, anonymous figures from many dealerships, never one dealer's numbers on their own.

  • Hosted in your region.

    Canadian dealerships' data is stored on AWS servers in Canada.

  • Your password stays yours.

    Sign-in goes through Amazon's own secure login service. evolane never sees or stores your password.

  • We don't keep customer personal data.

    We never store your customers' personal information.

  • Insured.

    evolane carries errors and omissions (E&O) and cyber liability insurance. Certificates available on request.

Our commitments

How we treat your data.

  • Your data is yours.

    Your store owns its data. We use it only with your consent, and only for the purposes your agreement sets out.

  • Nothing changes without your approval.

    We recommend; your people decide. Nothing is done on your behalf, in our platform or in your DMS, unless your store has approved it.

  • Every change is on the record.

    Every change is recorded and auditable: who made it and when, whether it came from your team, ours or the system. The audit trail is protected from tampering, earlier values are kept when a figure changes, and your store's history is available to you on request.

  • Private to your store.

    No other dealer sees your store's data. On Marketplace, other dealers see only what you choose to publish. Anything learned across stores uses de-identified data, under terms you've agreed to.

  • Access only when needed.

    Our team accesses your data only when it's needed to support you or run the service, and that access is recorded.

  • AI on your terms.

    Any AI in our platform works within your store's permissions. Your store's identifiable data is never used to train AI for other dealers.

Data residency

Where your data lives

Where your data is hosted depends on where your store operates and the privacy and regulatory requirements that apply to it. Data for Canadian stores is stored in Canada, and backups stay in the same region as the data they protect.

Our databases aren't reachable from the public internet; only our own services can connect to them.

Encryption

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher, and at rest with AES-256, including backups and the credentials we hold for you. Encryption keys are managed in a dedicated key management service and rotated automatically.

DMS connection

Certified. Connected. Under your control.

Every DMS integration we offer is certified by the provider and meets or exceeds their security standards. You decide what we can see. We use only the data you approve, and only what's needed to deliver data-driven insights and automate the workflows that matter to your store and your market.

Privacy

Privacy

We handle personal information in line with the privacy laws that apply where your store operates, including Canada's PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25. Our Privacy Officer is accountable for how we handle it and can be reached at privacy@evolane.ai.

If you leave, you can request a copy of your data, and we handle what remains as your agreement sets out.
