This Transparency Policy supersedes all and any Privacy Policies, which are obsolete and redundant.
TWG does not claim your privacy is of our concern, because that is another false and regurgitated claim. What TWG does care about it is what TWG is legally obliged to do under just about every single Privacy Law in the world, and more importantly, the Gatekeeper of the modern internet Index, Google, and that is to be transparent about what data TWG does collect and only under your Explicit Consent.
This Transparency Policy describes our policies and procedures on our transparency on collection of any visitors data and how that is used.
TheWebGorillas uses your personal data to provide and improve the service. By using the service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Transparency Policy and you understand that is ONLY UNDER EXPLICIT CONSENT (through the popup consent box when you first visit, which you can modify at any time through the options button in the bottom left corner).
