Data sharing for RYA online courses
RTCs offering courses through www.ryainteractive.org are required to include the following data
sharing statement in their booking process or privacy policy, entering the RTC’s instructional
support period in the space provided:
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 a 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.
For the duration of your access to the site, your data will be held in accordance with the RYA

If you receive a digital certificate downloaded from the RYA Interactive site on completion
of your course, your name, address, date of birth and certificate details will be transferred to
