12. Children’s Privacy

WellHomeLife is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions within the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

WellHomeLife is based in and primarily serves a global audience. Your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the one in which you reside — including the United States — where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

When we transfer data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to countries not deemed adequate by the European Commission, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or we partner only with services that participate in recognised data transfer frameworks.

Our key third-party partners (such as Google) have their own data transfer mechanisms in place. You can review Google’s data transfer safeguards at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks
