Make Courses GDPR-Compliant

Require your students to confirm consent for receiving additional emails from you on CourseNinja.


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.

Enabling Subscriber Consent

Step 1: Click Account Settings from the left sidebar.

Step 2: Click GDPR Compliance.

Step 3: Click Show to everyone after they opt-in.

Step 4: Click Update Settings.

Specify your timezone.

Choose a date format.

Choose between a 24-hour or 12-hour time format.

Step 3: Click Update Settings.

These settings are now applied to your account. All of the dates and times throughout the platform will be displayed according to your settings.

The date and time on the registration pages for your courses are also shown according to your settings. However, visitors can convert the date and time to their timezone with a simple click.

Daylight Saving

Whenever Daylight Saving takes effect, the timezone in your account adjusts automatically. However, upcoming courses in your account will remain in their original schedule.

You will need to reschedule your courses when clocks are shifted.

For those who are in Arizona, USA where Daylight Saving is not observed, you can use the timezone, America/Phoenix -07:00 Mountain Time. It remains at -07:00 throughout the year.
