How Do We Keep Your Information Secure?

Asexualise Academy takes appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to, or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of, data that You share and We collect and store. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the data we collect and store.

Asexualise Academy has taken strong measures to protect the security of your personal information and to ensure that your choices for its intended use are honored. We take strong precautions to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

When you place orders or access your personal account information, you’re utilizing a secure socket layer SSL, which encrypts your personal information before it’s sent over the Internet. SSL is one of the safest encryption algorithm technologies available.

Asexualise Academy protects the security of your personal information and respects your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, loss, destruction or alteration, and take every step we can to ensure your information stays safe. This is why we chose Invantofor Our own, and Our User, courses, products and services, hosting. Although Asexualise Academy is hosted with Just host and it’s root files are built on WordPress, we use security plugins such as Wordfence, and all information is processed through CloudFlare servers who encrypt it using https technology and they have inbuilt firewalls providing extra protection. And most importantly, AsexualiseAcademy.com has it’s own subdomain within Invanto, which is mapped to AsexualiseAcademy.com, so all data pertaining to the courses, products and services that go through Invanto, benefit from all of their high levels of security, including a similar https technology, and in the event the WordPress site was ever hacked, which all procedures are in place to prevent that happening, your data would remain safe within that subdomain of Invanto (subject to their own security procedures and systems, working correctly and keeping your data safe), where they are stored, and you could still access that subdomain. Please note, as Invanto in a third party which Asexualise Academy uses, we cannot be held liable or responsible for any failure or security breach of our customers and Users, within their own platform and the subdomain on their site.
