Sunny Side Sailing collects personal information in the following ways: when you contact us via email or other means; where training leads to a certificate being issued; and through the use of cookies on our website, which help us improve your experience and provide a more tailored service.
Where RYA training leads to a certificate that must be registered online, on successful completion of your course your name, contact details, date of birth, certificate number and date of issue will be shared with the RYA through a secure web portal or www.rya.org.uk. The data will be stored on the RYA’s central database. This information allows the RYA to record your qualification, to update any records they may hold for you, and to verify or replace your certificate if required. For further information on how the RYA will deal with your data, please see the RYA’s privacy policy.
Where an RYA certificate is issued which is not required to be registered online, on successful completion of your course your name, certificate number and date of issue will be stored for up to 5 years. This information allows us to verify or replace your certificate if required.
