Security is important to us too.

Here is information about 1000Minds data and system security. Please contact us if you have any questions.

User security and your information

A minimal amount of personal information is collected when users register for a 1000Minds account. Apart from your name and email address, how much you record is up to you.

Communications between your computer and 1000Minds are encrypted by default. The login page allows you to disable this security protocol, but this is not recommended.

Keeping your data secure also depends on you maintaining the security of your account by using a sufficiently complicated password and storing it safely. You should also ensure that you have sufficient security on your system.

Physical security

1000Minds’ server equipment was purchased, installed and configured by 1000Minds staff. Our server equipment is housed at Intergen Ltd in Wellington, New Zealand (though Intergen’s staff has no administrative access to the operating system environment).

We’ve visited Intergen’s data centre many times and have been impressed with its security and controls. More information about the data centre security is available from:

Operating environment and application security

The server environment is kept up-to-date with current versions of software and security patches. Backups are encrypted and sent off-site with a further layer of encryption on a daily basis. Our software engineers use best practices and industry-standard secure coding guidelines to ensure a secure system.

Our logs record your use of 1000Minds for security, troubleshooting and internal audit purposes. These logs are also stored and processed securely.

Confidentiality agreements

If you desire it, we’re happy to enter into a contractual agreement to guarantee the confidentiality of your information in 1000Minds.
