Storage location: Frankfurt am Main

The Polygon One platform stores its data with Amazon Web Services in the Europe (Frankfurt) region, identifier eu-central-1. This includes what you and your suppliers enter in the platform, such as product data and CN codes, suppliers, geodata of the plots of production, documents and declarations.

The web app's interface (app.polygon-one.com) is delivered by Vercel Inc.

Data centre certifications

According to AWS, it is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (information security) and to ISO/IEC 27017:2015 and ISO/IEC 27018:2019 (cloud security, protection of personal data in the cloud); the certification is audited by EY CertifyPoint. The Frankfurt region (eu-central-1) is within the scope of the ISO/IEC 27001 certificate (AWS ISO/IEC 27001).

For the Frankfurt region, AWS also holds an attestation under the Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue (C5) of Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) (AWS C5).

These certifications and attestations cover the AWS infrastructure. They are not a certification of HRG Polygon One GmbH.

Data processing

If Polygon One processes personal data on your behalf, for example contact details of your contact persons at suppliers, Art. 28 GDPR requires a data processing agreement. Please contact us about it before the contract starts: kontakt@polygon-one.eu.

Due diligence statements and TRACES

For the EUDR, Polygon One generates the due diligence statement from the data collected and submits it through the interface to TRACES, the European Commission's information system under Art. 33 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115. The content of the statement under Annex II is then held there as well; the reference number comes back into the record in Polygon One.

Connection

The web app app.polygon-one.com can only be reached encrypted over HTTPS; unencrypted requests are redirected to HTTPS. In a test on 29 Sep 2026 the connection used TLS 1.3.
