Lawful basis on which your information is processed

The Nautical Institute processes personal data on a ‘legitimate interests’ basis under Article 6 (1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This enables the Institute to provide a full range of services to its members and also services relating to its dynamic positioning (DP), accreditation and publications activities.

Apps

The Nautical Institute has two published apps - The Navigator, our magazine for professional marine navigators that we produce three times a year and Seaways, our monthly journal for Nautical Institute members. 

PageSuite, the publisher of the Institute's apps, uses a UDID collection service for all its iOS Dynamic apps. All data collected in this way is kept completely anonymous.
