Your Data Security

At Legacy Share, we understand the immense trust you place in us when you share your most personal and significant information. As the dedicated guardians of your legacy data, your data security is not just a priority – it is the cornerstone of our operations and an unwavering commitment. We believe that building and maintaining your trust begins with absolute transparency and robust protection of your valuable information.

A Professional Approach to Protecting Your Data

From the moment your data enters our systems, it is treated with the highest level of security protocols, mirroring the rigorous standards demanded by cybersecurity professionals worldwide.

1. The Principle of Least Privilege & Encrypted Access:

Your personal data is handled with the utmost care, ensuring restricted access is a fundamental principle of our operations. This means only a select group of key Legacy Share team members – those whose roles absolutely require it – are granted access to your data. This strict adherence to the "Principle of Least Privilege" significantly minimizes potential exposure, safeguarding your information against unauthorized viewing or accidental mishandling.

Furthermore, all personal data benefits from encrypted access. This vital technical safeguard means that your login information is scrambled into an unreadable format both in transit (when it travels across networks) and at rest (when it's stored on our servers). Even in the unlikely event of unauthorised access, the data remains incomprehensible, providing a critical layer of protection against breaches. We utilise industry-standard encryption algorithms and meticulous key management practices to ensure this security.

2. Adherence to Leading Data Protection Regulations:

Our commitment to data protection is deeply embedded in our operational framework, fully aligning with the most stringent data privacy laws. All personal details and program data are diligently protected in accordance with the:

• Data Protection Act (2018)
• UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR)

• These comprehensive regulations mandate a proactive approach to data privacy, ensuring that we uphold your rights as a data subject.

3. Secure Third-Party Storage & Due Diligence:

In some instances, we may utilise third-party storage providers for personal details where it offers the most secure and appropriate data storage option. Our selection process for these providers is rigorous. We conduct extensive due diligence, meticulously reviewing their security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001), their own robust security measures (including physical security of data centers, encryption, and access controls), and ensuring they commit to strict  agreements that mirror our own high standards for data protection. Your data's security remains our ultimate responsibility, even when managed by a trusted partner.

4. Continuous Assessment and Evolution of Security:

The landscape of cyber threats is constantly evolving. Therefore, our responsibility to keep the information collected about you safe and secure is an ongoing commitment. We continuously assess and ensure that data is held in the most appropriate and secure way. This adaptive approach includes:

• Regular risk assessments
• Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing
• Staying abreast of the latest security technologies and best practices
• Adapting our defenses to counter emerging threats

This proactive mindset ensures that your data is not just secure today, but remains protected against the challenges of tomorrow.
