Security Policy

This information security policy describes how KESWiN™ Academy (owned by Writing Diamonds Ltd) is committed to ensuring your information is secure.

We maintain a secure process for the collection, transmission, and storage of your personal information.

KESWiN™ Academy advises members to keep their browser software up to date to ensure a high level of security is maintained. Old versions of browsers are more likely to be open to malicious activity or make modern websites harder to use.

KESWiN.Academy no longer supports older versions of browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari. 

Protecting Your Personal Information

When you become a subscriber or member you need to provide us with personal information. For paid memberships, products and services, we use Stripe as our payment gateway. You will need to provide Stripe with your Stripe account or credit card details.

Our websites are secured by SSL Certificates. This means that your personal information is protected by encryption, so it cannot be read as it is transmitted over the Internet. The encrypted data is transmitted using a secure socket layer (SSL) connection.

How to Tell if a Website is Secure

Look for one or more of these “secure connection” indicators on your browser before providing any personal information:

• A security alert window may tell you that you are about to use a non-secure connection. Most browsers present a warning letting you choose whether to proceed or not.
• An SSL icon, usually a padlock, shows when your connection is secure.
• The website’s address changes to one that begins with “https” (check for the “s”).

Your Account Details

When you become a Subscriber, Customer, or Member you set up a KESWiN™ Academy account as part of the sign up process. Personal information, excluding Stripe or credit card details, are transferred to a KESWiN™ Academy Member Management system using a secure transfer mechanism.

Your account details are stored securely in our Membership Management System and by some third party service providers on our behalf.

You can review your personal information and update it as necessary. Your personal information is only able to be accessed by entering your email address and password or by contacting us directly.

Strong Passwords

We encourage the use of strong passwords on our site in order to protect our data and that of our customers.

We may use password audit tools to check the strength of your password. If your password is found to not meet our minimum strength requirements, we will contact you and request that you change it.

In general you should choose a password that is at least 12 characters long and consists of letters, numbers and symbols with as few English words as possible.

Here’s a graphic showing how quickly weak passwords can be hacked, and you can learn more about the graphic from Hive Systems and their latest research here. There is a lot of tech speak to start with, but do persevere with reading the full document.
