Configure GDPR Compliance

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), businesses and other organizations are required to be transparent regarding how they use customers' email addresses and other personal information.

This requirement is satisfied by getting your students to provide consent for receiving additional emails you may send in the future.

With CourseNinja, you have the option to enable Subscriber Consent. When this is enabled, your registrants will have to confirm their consent upon registering for your course.

How It Works?

Your registrants will see the checkbox on the registration form for your course. To proceed with the registration, they must agree to the following:

☑️ I accept to receive emails from [Instructor Name]

The emails referred to here are:

1. Auto-generated reminder emails from your course containing course details including the student's unique access link.

2. Any additional email you may send in the future.

To collect consent from course registrants for future communication:

• Open the Consent Settings section.

• Select Show to everyone after they opt-in.
• Click Update Settings.

When enabled, registrants must agree to receive emails before registering for your course.

Change Date & Time Preferences

Under the Date and Time section, you can:

• Select your timezone region
• Choose your timezone
• Set your preferred date format
• Choose between a 12-hour or 24-hour clock format

Click Update Settings after making your changes.

Important Notes

• Daylight Saving Time adjustments are applied automatically where supported.
• Scheduled courses may require manual updates during timezone changes.
• For Arizona, USA, use America/Phoenix -07:00 Mountain Time, which does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
