PRIVACY POLICY OF ACCIDENTALLY WES ANDERSON

Effective Date: 12.05.23

Hey Adventurers, welcome to our Privacy Policy page! Here at AWA we are far from legal experts, but we always like to make sure we are playing by the rules, so we got a lawyer to write this up for us. It is a standard policy and very similar to that of other websites you likely use on a daily basis (believe us, we had the pleasure of reading a bunch of them!). In any event, we took a break from the more exciting Adventure based stuff to make sure we followed our lawyer’s advice – as she’s smarter than us when it comes to this stuff – and put this here in case you had any questions. So, without further ado, we hope you enjoy!
