WooDonkey Easy GTM and API Services (api.woodonkey.com)
Certain Products (including WooDonkey Easy GTM) may provide functionality that connects your website to third-party services (for example, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics) and may do so through the Company’s API Services at api.woodonkey.com.
When you use such functionality, the Company may process limited data required to provide and maintain the connection (for example, requests sent from your site to our API, technical identifiers, and diagnostic information). We do not intend to collect or store your Google account credentials through the Site. You remain responsible for your third-party accounts, configurations, permissions, and settings.
