International data transfers<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are based in Japan, so personal data of EU\/EEA Users is transferred to Japan. Japan benefits from a European Commission <strong>adequacy decision<\/strong> (23 January 2019), which recognizes that Japan provides a level of data protection essentially equivalent to that of the EU. Where our service providers process data outside the EU\/EEA and Japan (for example in the United States), such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards under the GDPR, namely the European Commission\u2019s <strong>Standard Contractual Clauses<\/strong> and\/or the <strong>EU-US Data Privacy Framework<\/strong>. A copy of the relevant safeguards can be requested at <a href=\"mailto:info@dante-learning.com\">info@dante-learning.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11.

Children\u2019s privacy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our services are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below the age of digital consent in their country (16 in the EU, or a lower age between 13 and 16 where a Member State has set one). If you are below that age, please do not use our forms without the consent of a parent or guardian. If we become aware that we have collected such data without the required consent, we will delete it promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13.
