Eyetlink Portal (the “Portal”) is an online review platform. Eyetlink (“we”, “us”) uses it to give enrolled seafarers review materials and practice questions for the MARINA Theoretical Licensure Examination, through review packages for the Deck and Engine departments.
We respect your privacy. This Notice explains what personal data we collect through the Portal, why we collect it, how we use, share and protect it, and the rights you have over it. It follows the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC). Eyetlink is the personal information controller for the data described here.
By enrolling in a review package or using the Portal, you acknowledge that you have read this Notice.
The Portal has no public sign-up. Accounts are created by Eyetlink when you enroll.

The Portal does not process payments, so we do not collect payment card or bank account details through it. We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, such as government-issued ID numbers, health information or financial account details. Please do not send us any through the Portal.
We process your data because it is needed to provide the review package you enrolled in, because we have a legitimate interest in running and protecting the Portal, because the law requires it, or because you have given your consent. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time (see Your rights).
We do not sell your personal data and we do not use it for advertising. We share it only as follows:
Your results and activity are not shown to other reviewees.
The Portal uses a single session cookie. It is required to keep you logged in while you move between pages, and it is removed when you log out or close your browser. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics or tracking tools, and we do not load third-party trackers.
We keep enrollment records and review activity for as long as they are needed to provide the review service and for legitimate business, audit, dispute and legal record-keeping purposes. After that, we delete the data, anonymize it or archive it securely. You may ask us to delete or block your data at any time; we will do so unless we are required or permitted by law to keep it.
We maintain reasonable and appropriate organizational, physical and technical measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss and misuse. Access to the Portal requires a username and password. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You can help by keeping your username and password confidential, not sharing your account with anyone, and logging out when you use a shared or public device. Tell us immediately if you think someone else has used your account.
If a personal data breach happens that is covered by the law, we will notify the NPC and the affected persons as required.

To use any of these rights, contact us using the details in Contact us. We may need to confirm your identity first, and we will respond within a reasonable time. Note that some data, such as your name and enrollment record, is needed for us to give you access; removing it may end your access to the Portal.
The Portal is meant for adults preparing for the licensure examination. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has been enrolled by mistake, please contact us so we can review the record.
We may update this Notice from time to time, for example when the Portal or the law changes. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the current version. If you keep using the Portal after a change, you acknowledge the updated Notice.
