Copyright & Intellectual Property

1What we own

• Course content: slides, scripts, narration, case studies, test questions and their answers. Test questions and answers are the commercially sensitive core of the product: publishing them would let people rehearse the answers and would destroy the test’s meaning.
• The standard: the curriculum, module outcomes and their wording.
• Brand: the My Drona name, wordmark, logo mark and the certificate’s visual design.
• Platform: the site, the verification service and the underlying software.

Content contributed by subject-matter experts is licensed or assigned to us under written agreement before publication. How that works is set out in Content Standards & Governance.

2What you may do

On payment we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the course you paid for, for your own professional development, for as long as your access lasts.

You may:

• view the material and take your own notes;
• display, print and share your own certificate, and share your public profile link, including on a CV, a website or a noticeboard;
• state accurately that you are certified by My Drona, for as long as your certificate is valid.

3What you may not do

• Copy, download, screen-record, transcribe, republish or redistribute course material or test questions.
• Share your account, or give anyone else access to the material.
• Sell, sublicense, or use the material to build or train a competing standard, course or test.
• Use the material or any part of it to train a machine-learning model, or to generate derivative content, including by automated scraping.
• Use the My Drona name, logo or certificate design in a way that implies endorsement, partnership or accreditation we have not granted.
• Alter a certificate, or present an expired, suspended or revoked certificate as current.

Breaching this clause ends the licence immediately and may result in revocation under the Certificate Policy.

4What you own

You keep ownership of what you contribute: your test answers and anything you write. By submitting them you grant us a licence to score, store and retain them and their results, for the purposes and periods described in the Privacy Policy: scoring your tests, defending a certification decision, and audit.

We do not publish your responses, and we do not use identifiable responses in marketing. Where we use course results to improve the standard or our tests, it is aggregated or de-identified first.

5Academies, employers and government

An organisation paying for its staff does not thereby acquire a licence to the material. Each coach’s licence is personal to them.

For institutional licensing, co-branding, or adopting the Safety in Sport Standard at scale, write to support@mydrona.ai.

6Third-party material

Where we quote or cite published standards, legislation or research, it remains the property of its owners and is used under fair dealing for the purposes of education, review and reporting, with attribution. If you believe we have used your material incorrectly, tell us and we will correct or remove it.

7Reporting infringement

To report material of yours used without permission, or My Drona material being redistributed, write to support@mydrona.ai with: what the material is, where it appears, your relationship to it, and your contact details. We act on credible reports promptly.
