Why are your prices exclusive of sales taxes?

Our prices are exclusive of sales taxes due to the global nature of our business. As we sell our instructor-led programs and digital content worldwide, the applicable sales taxes can vary significantly depending on the customer's jurisdiction.

Different countries, and even different states or regions within countries, have different sales tax, Value Added Tax (VAT), or Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates. Some jurisdictions may also have specific tax exemptions for certain types of products or services. Therefore, to accommodate these variances and provide accurate pricing, we calculate and add the applicable taxes to your purchase at checkout based on your location.
We use Quaderno, an automated tax compliance software platform, to handle these calculations. Quaderno accurately calculates and tracks VAT, sales taxes, and GST for online platforms, ensuring that the correct tax rate is applied to each purchase, no matter where the customer is located.

This approach ensures we comply with international tax laws, providing a seamless purchasing experience for our customers while maintaining tax compliance.

What forms of payment do you accept?

All major credit cards are accepted. Clients can purchase our digital products right from their mobiles with Google pay or Apple Pay, and skip multi-step authentication processes. We also accept Klarna and AfterPay/ClearPay. Off line payments may also be accepted (you can arrange this with TheInvestmentAnalyst.com).

Troubleshoot issues with Video

Our video player automatically tries to adjust the video quality to your internet speed, giving you the highest quality possible but in certain cases, for very slow connections, this might not be possible. If you’re experiencing excessive buffering during playback, it’s probably because your Internet connection cannot support continuous playback of the video. In this case try to reset your connection/internet router or, if possible, try accessing your online programs using a better internet connection.
You may also want to try one of the following:

1. Close extra browser tabs or other applications that may be using up your bandwidth.
2. Make sure you're using the latest version of your browser.

How long does it take to complete a program?

It depends on the program. Each program has different time requirements. Read the program's description or contact your instructor for more specific details.

What will you do with my e-mail address?

Your e-mail address is your key to TheInvestmentAnalyst.com. It is fully safe with us and we will use it only to communicate with you if necessary.

What are TheInvestmentAnalyst.com's internet security protocols?

TheInvestmentAnalyst.com operates (provided by its partner LearnWorlds) on a platform that supports the following measures to ensure data security and privacy:

Protection from Data Loss & Data Corruption
Isolated Databases
TheInvestmentAnalyst.com has its own, isolated Database. This means that even if a platform gets compromised or goes rogue, all other platforms will remain unaffected.
Regular Backups
Databases are mirrored and backed up off site, across multiple facilities. We keep daily database backups.
Customer data regulation
We never move any platform or user data outside of our secured environment for testing or any other reason.

Application Level Security
Password salting and hashing
TheInvestmentAnalyst.com uses the most up-to-date and secure cryptographic methods. Platform Admin Passwords are salted and hashed and never stored or transmitted as plain text. Employees cannot view or manually change passwords. If you forget your password it cannot be retrieved, even by our own CTO – the password must be reset by you.
Encrypted Data Storage
All user passwords are salted and hashed and never stored or transmitted as plain text.
We do not store credit card details on our infrastructure. All credit card transactions are processed using secure encryption on a PCI-Compliant network.

HTTPS everywhere
TheInvestmentAnalyst.com forces all requests over HTTPS, ensuring all traffic between TheInvestmentAnalyst.com and the user’s browser is encrypted. This means that anyone trying to eavesdrop on this data will not be able to decrypt and access the underlying data. All wesbites powered by LearnWorld get a free SSL certificate for lifetime. LearnWorlds uses TLS 1.2 exclusively, throughout its site and subdomains.
XSS vulnerability avoidance
All user inputs are properly treated to ensure that XSS vulnerabilities are avoided.

Secure Software Development Life Cycle
Vulnerability Scanning & Patching
We have automated systems in place that monitor all the software infrastructure that powers LearnWorlds for new versions and vulnerabilities. Our infrastructure is updated regularly with the latest security patches. Moreover, our in-house security expert is constantly on the lookout for things that could jeopardize our systems, ready to intervene. We test our systems regularly through simulated attacks from the outside and in.
Secure File storage
Your uploaded files can only be accessed through LearnWorlds. Your students can only access files intended for them. Only authorized LearnWorlds personnel can access your files, on a strict per-need basis.
Internal Controls
For our employees, access rights and levels are based on job function and role, on a need-to-know basis, match defined responsibilities. All employees must abide by our policies about protecting customer data.
Security by design
Our code is being developed following the latest patterns and industry best practices, and is constantly reviewed. Clear, readable and well-maintained code means secure systems.
Key management
We keep our keys secret and out of version control, to ensure access to critical resources cannot be compromised.

Data Center Security
The GDPR requires controllers and processors of personal data to “implement appropriate technical and organizational” measures to ensure a sufficient level of security.
LearnWorlds is a Google Cloud partner so we primarily use top-notch Google Cloud Platform servers as our third-party cloud storage subcontractor and we do not host customer data on our premises.
This means that all our servers are located at Google premises, in different world-class data centers around the world:
  • East USA (South Carolina & Virginia, USA, North America)
  • Central EU (Frankfurt, Germany, Europe)
  • South America (São Paulo, Brazil, South America)
  • Southeast Asia (Singapore, APAC)

Google Cloud Platform is a leading cloud provider, and holds industry best security certifications, such as SOC2/3 and ISO27001, and provides encryption in transit and at rest, without any action required from our customers. All servers are protected by biometric locks and round-the-clock interior and exterior surveillance monitoring. Only authorized personnel have access to the data center. 24/7/365 onsite staff provides additional protection against unauthorized entry and security breaches. For more info on Google Cloud Platform physical server security check here.
  • High availability. We’ve designed LearnWorlds to ensure high availability throughout the platform. At every layer of the stack, we have a suite of contingency mechanisms, including automatic failover, to ensure 24/7 application availability.

Protecting LearnWorlds Against rogue or hacked users
We can secure ourselves, but if your computer gets compromised or someone gets into your LearnWorlds account, that’s not good for either of us. Therefore,
  • We monitor and will automatically suspend accounts for signs of irregular or suspicious login activity.
  • Certain changes to your account, such as to your password, will trigger email notifications to the account owner.
  • We monitor accounts and platform activity for signs of abuse (both via automatic notifications and human reviewers).

LearnWorlds is working continuously to make our systems secure. But modern software is amongst the most complex artefacts ever created by humans and cybersecurity is a moving target. If you do find any security issues, whether you are a user or security expert, please reach out to us at support@learnworlds.com. We will make sure the issue is fixed and updated ASAP.

Do you use reCAPTCHA v3?

We integrates with reCAPTCHA v3, a Google service offered as an out-of-the-box solution for an always-on traffic analyzer that detects fake user and bot activity that tries to access your academy’s website.

With reCAPTCHA, we can safeguard our platform from illicit activities like fraud and misuse while minimizing disruption to legitimate users. The underlying technology uses an advanced Risk Analysis Engine to identify malicious traffic and adaptive challenges to prevent fraudulent users and software from taking part in hostile activities on your website.

When enabled, reCAPTCHA will be active on:
  • Sign-up/Sign-in forms and Password reset forms.
  • All Marketing forms in:
  • The shareable link.
  • In a form Widget.
