  • We are entirely using SSL/HTTPS throughout all our sites. This encrypts our user communications with the servers so personal identifiable information is never captured by third parties without authorization.
  • Encrypted cookies
  • User passwords are securely stored as hashes.
  • WordPress credentials provided by clients to ICanLocalize supporters are securely encrypted.
  • The entire codebase is continuously scanned with a vulnerability scanner specifically designed to find security issues in Ruby on Rails applications.

In case of a data breach, System administrators will immediately go through affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user.

What rights you have over your data

You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. In short, we cannot erase data that is vital to you being currently our customer (i.e. basic account information like an email address).
