Data Security Measures

Protecting your information is fundamental to our educational mission. We implement multiple layers of security to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

Technical Safeguards

  • Encryption: All data transmission uses TLS 1.3 encryption, and sensitive data is encrypted at rest
  • Access Controls: Multi-factor authentication and role-based access limits who can view your information
  • Network Security: Firewalls, intrusion detection, and regular security monitoring protect our systems
  • Regular Updates: We maintain current security patches and conduct vulnerability assessments

Operational Security

Our team receives regular security training and follows strict protocols for handling personal information. We conduct background checks on employees with access to user data and limit access to only what's necessary for their job functions.

Data Backup and Recovery

Your educational progress and account information are backed up regularly to secure, geographically distributed locations. This ensures your learning history remains safe and accessible even in the event of technical difficulties.

While we implement strong security measures, no system is completely immune to risks. We promptly notify users of any security incidents that could affect their personal information.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide educational services and meet our legal obligations. Different types of data have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.

Account and Educational Data

Your account information and learning progress are retained for as long as your account remains active. After account closure, we keep educational records for 7 years to provide transcripts and verify completion certificates if requested.

Communication Records

Customer support interactions and educational communications are kept for 3 years to help resolve future questions and improve our services.

Financial Records

Payment information and enrollment records are retained for 7 years to comply with Canadian tax and business record requirements.

Marketing Communications

Automatic Deletion

We have automated systems that delete expired data according to these retention schedules. You don't need to take any action – old information is removed automatically when retention periods end.
