Data Security and Protection

Protecting your personal information is a top priority at belarianthov. We implement comprehensive security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Technical Safeguards

Our platform uses industry-standard encryption to protect data transmission and storage. All sensitive information is encrypted both in transit and at rest using AES-256 encryption. We employ secure socket layer (SSL) technology for all data transfers and maintain regular security audits of our systems.

Access Controls

Access to your personal information is restricted to authorized belarianthov employees who need it to perform their job functions. All staff members undergo regular privacy training and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements. We use multi-factor authentication and role-based access controls to limit system access.

Data Backup and Recovery

We maintain secure backups of your information to prevent data loss and ensure business continuity. Backup systems are encrypted and stored in geographically distributed locations with the same security standards as our primary systems.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

International Data Transfers

belarianthov primarily processes and stores data within the United Kingdom and European Economic Area. However, some of our service providers may process data outside these regions to provide essential services.

When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office, adequacy decisions, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms. All international transfers maintain the same level of protection required by UK data protection laws.

Cross-Border Service Providers

Our cloud infrastructure providers and email services may process data in multiple locations to ensure reliability and performance. We maintain detailed records of all international transfers and regularly review the adequacy of protection measures with our partners.

When information reaches the end of its retention period, we use secure deletion methods to ensure it cannot be recovered. This includes overwriting stored data multiple times and physically destroying hardware when necessary. We maintain logs of deletion activities for audit purposes.

Children's Privacy

belarianthov's financial analysis courses are designed for adult learners and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 16 years of age. Our registration process includes age verification, and we require all students to confirm they meet the minimum age requirement.

If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from someone under 16, we will delete that information immediately and terminate any associated accounts. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information to us should contact our privacy team immediately.
