Keeping your information safe
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that appropriate technical and organisational controls are in place to protect it.
Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with the following software: 2048-bit RSA Signature Key. Our website is protected by Let’s Encrypt Wildcard SSL certificate which secures our site with TLS encryption. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear to the left of the web address of web browsers such as Google Chrome.
When you make a payment via our website, your financial details are captured by our payment processor (Stripe). Stripe uses 2048-bit RSA Signature Key to protect your payment details. They are never seen by our server and are not stored. AY Academy can, however, use Stripe to access a list of payments made without seeing credit/debit card numbers, to match against the entries made online.
Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone, and we will never ask you for your password.
How long we keep your data
We are required under UK tax law to keep your basic personal data (name, address, contact details) for a minimum of 6 years after which time it will be destroyed. Your information that we use for marketing purposes will be kept with us until you notify us that you no longer wish to receive this information.
Marketing
Amy Yuan Academy Ltd would like to send you information about products and services of ours that we think you might like.
If you have agreed to receive marketing, you will always have the opportunity to opt-out of marketing communications at a later date.
You have the right at any time to stop Amy Yuan Academy Ltd from contacting you for marketing purposes.
