In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Wnion Technologies LLP ensures that all personal data is processed with the utmost care and in accordance with GDPR principles. The GDPR is designed to protect the privacy and personal data of individuals within the European Union and gives individuals greater control over their personal data.

Wnion Browser does not store records of users’ browsing history or log personal information. We are committed to ensuring that your browsing activities remain private and not stored or tracked by our systems.

4. IP Address and Third-Party Sites

The WNION does not record or track your IP address. As our browser is based on the Tor network, all your internet traffic is routed through a series of encrypted nodes, ensuring your anonymity and protecting your real IP address from being exposed to websites or third parties. This layer of privacy is a core feature of the Tor network, designed to ensure secure and private browsing.

However, while we do not track your IP address or browsing activities, please note that third-party websites you visit using the WNION may collect and process your IP address, user agent, or other information. These third-party sites are beyond our control and may have their own privacy policies. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policies of such third-party websites to understand their data handling practices.

Data Collection and Usage

To access and use our software and/or services, you are not required to provide any personal information. Our aim is to ensure that your experience is as private and secure as possible.

When you visit our search engine or other websites, your device automatically sends certain technical details to our servers. This information typically includes, but is not limited to, your IP address, browser type, device name, device model, operating system version, and language settings. In addition, if requested, your device may also send information such as screen size, operating system details, and user preferences. This data is collected temporarily and used primarily to deliver the content you request and to maintain the security of our services by verifying that interactions are genuine and not from malicious bots.

We do not retain or store your IP address or any unique identifiers associated with your searches or visits. Specifically, your IP address and unique identifiers are not saved or logged to disk. This approach ensures that your online activity remains confidential and secure.

In some cases, if you provide personal information, it may be used in the following ways:

We are committed to handling your data with the highest level of confidentiality and only use it in ways that are aligned with the principles outlined in this policy.

At Wnion Technologies LLP, we do not explicitly use cookies to track or store any personal information. Our service is designed to operate without the need for cookies, and we do not deploy them to enhance user experience or to gather data on your browsing activities.

However, no method of online communication or data storage is completely secure. While we take strong precautions to protect your information, we cannot guarantee that it will be 100% secure.

Your trust is important to us, and we work hard to keep your information safe.
