Anylang Translator Privacy Policy

Data Collection and Usage

Anylang Translator is a browser translation extension. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

What data is collected

1. Web page content: When you use the translation feature, the extension reads the text content of the web page you are currently viewing. This is necessary to provide the translation service.
2. Selected text: When you use the instant lookup feature, the extension reads the text you have selected on the page.
3. User settings: Your preferences (such as target language, translation mode, API provider selection) are stored locally in your browser.
4. API credentials: If you choose to use a custom LLM provider, your API key is stored locally in your browser and is never transmitted to us.

How data is used

• Translation services: Web page text and selected text are sent to the translation service you have chosen (e.g., Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, or a user-configured LLM API) solely for the purpose of obtaining translations.
• Local storage: All settings, API keys, and translation caches are stored locally on your device using the browser's built-in storage APIs. We do not have access to this data.

What we do NOT do

• We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal identification information.
• We do not track your browsing history.
• We do not sell or share your data with any third parties.
• We do not run any analytics or telemetry.

Third-party services

When you use the translation feature, your text is sent to external translation services based on your choice:

• Google Translate: Governed by Google's Privacy Policy
• Microsoft Translator: Governed by Microsoft's Privacy Policy
• User-configured LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.): Governed by the respective provider's privacy policy

Please review the privacy policies of these third-party services before use.
