Online UK CoC/FSE checker Privacy Notice

This privacy notice describes how we collect and use the personal information input into the online Certificate of Competency checker.

The data controller for the personal information is the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).

The MCA will use the date of birth and certificate number to confirm the validity of UK issued seafarer certification as part of our public task.

The information is not retained once the validity check has been completed and is not shared outside of the MCA.

Information on how the MCA looks after personal data, your rights, how to contact our data protection officer and how to complain about processing of your personal data can be found on our personal information charter via the following link:
