RYA Essential Navigation & Seamanship course

As the first point of contact for students taking your online courses, you will need to outline to every new student the requirement for you to pass some of their personal data to us via www.ryainteractive.org in order for us to provide and manage their course.

The required wording is shown below. Please ensure that you include it in your booking procedure for all future students to see. As the data we are collecting is required for the fulfilment of their course you do not need to obtain their consent, you just need to inform them.

Please note that you will need to add the length of time for which you will provide instructional support to the statement below, which may be a year to match the length of access to the site or it may be shorter depending on your own terms and conditions.

Data sharing statement to be included in online course booking information:

To enable access to your online course we need to share some of your personal data with the RYA via your user profile in www.ryainteractive.org. This learning management website is hosted and maintained by a third party called Learning Pool, who will not use your personal information for any reason other than enabling your course.

Your name and email address will be entered on www.ryainteractive.org in order to create your user account. On your first access to the site, you will be asked to enter your address and date of birth. You will have access to the site for one year in order to complete your online course. During this period, your personal information will be held on the website by Learning Pool and be available to this training centre and the RYA for the purpose of managing your course.

Instructional support will be provided by this training centre for a period of 1 year from the date of your course booking.

On completion of your course, your name, email, date of birth and address will be transferred to the RYA’s central database for the purpose of recording details of the course and any certification you gain as a result of it. This information allows the RYA to record your certification, to update any records they may already hold about you or your qualifications and to verify your certificate if required. After one year from the date of your enrolment on the course, your user account will be removed from www.ryainteractive.org.

Full details of how the RYA will deal with your personal information will be displayed when you first access www.ryainteractive.org.
