NOVA is safe

In the context of digitization and technical progress, more and more personal data is being collected in order to make digital processes more efficient and simple. Which systems are used and where, by whom and in what form data is processed and stored is not always transparent.

For NOVA, the security of your personal data is the top priority.
We have therefore decided that all of our software and hardware systems are programmed and manufactured in Germany and also operated in Germany.

In the best of company – NOVA partner DERMALOG

With our partner DERMALOG, we also rely on secure and sophisticated technology for biometric face recognition, which is also used by the German Federal Government and in 84 other countries in various areas.
