Q: Hello, you say you are GDPR certified.

However, at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list you are listed as an inactive company. The EU's new agreement with the USA only allows this option in order to host the data outside the EU in a legally secure manner. However, they would also have to be actively certified there. Can you please tell me how you comply with the GDPR from your point of view? As I understand it, they would either have to be certified at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list or host the data in Europe. Thank you for your reply.

A: Our renewal certification application is under review. It may take around a week for the status to change to 'active'.

Okay. Thanks. I'll check again in 10 days. There's still a little time before the deal expires.

It is great that you are renewing your certificate to show compliance with GDPR requirements!
I am reaching out regarding the cookie consent mechanism on your website. We have noticed that the current banner presents users with the policy link and a "Got It" acknowledgment button. While simplicity in user experience is greatly appreciated, it may be beneficial to re-evaluate this approach in light of recent regulatory guidelines.
As you might know, privacy and data protection regulations such as the GDPR require that users are given a clear and affirmative choice (OPTIONS shall be explicitly) regarding the tracking and storing of their personal data. This typically includes the ability to consent separately to different categories of cookies and the option to decline non-essential cookies.
Can you review and confirm if you can implement these enhancements to ensure full compliance with privacy and data protection regulations? This will not only protect clients and you from any potential GDPR penalties and heavy fines but also enhance transparency and reputation with your clients and end users in Europe and any other client selling courses to EU.

You can implement your own cookie consent with custom CSS and JS code, as we support a code injection feature.

Hello, nothing has changed with the certification yet. What is the status? The question about LG2021's cookie banner is also important in relation to the GDPR.

I do not have the timeline for their process of making our company active. Nevertheless, we have answered the questions from the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) team on our renewal application, and we expect them to activate this soon on dataprivacyframework.gov.
