Privacy Policy for English to Spanish Translator App

Effective Date: August 04, 2025

Thank you for using the English to Spanish Translator app ("we," "our," or "us"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app.

By using the app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

To provide and improve our services, we may collect the following types of information:

a) Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

We do not collect any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, or phone number) unless you explicitly and voluntarily provide it to us for specific purposes, such as when you submit feedback or contact us for support.

b) Non-Personal Information

We automatically collect certain non-personal information to help us understand how our app is used and to improve its performance. This may include:

  • Device Information: Your device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers (like the advertising ID), and network type.

  • App Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the app, such as the features you use, the time and date of your usage, and crash reports. This data is collected in an aggregated and anonymous form through third-party analytics services like Firebase.

  • Language Settings: The language settings on your device and within the app.

  • Translation History: Your translation history is stored locally on your device for your convenience. It is not transmitted to our servers or any third-party services.

c) Sensitive Data and Permissions

Our app requests access to certain device features to enable its core functionality. We provide a clear explanation for each permission requested:

  • Microphone/Voice Input: We request microphone access to enable the voice translation feature. Audio data is processed in real-time, converted to text for translation, and is not stored or recorded by us. This data may be sent to a third-party speech-to-text service (e.g., Google Speech-to-Text) for processing.

  • Camera/Image Input: We request camera access to enable the image-to-text (OCR) translation feature. Images are processed temporarily on your device or via a third-party API to detect text. The images themselves are not stored on our servers or shared with third parties.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To Provide Services: To deliver the core translation functionality of the app, including voice and image translation.

  • To Improve App Performance: To understand app usage patterns, identify and fix bugs, analyze crash reports, and enhance the overall user experience.

  • To Communicate with You: To respond to your inquiries, feedback, or support requests if you have voluntarily provided your contact information.

  • For Analytics: To analyze user behavior in an anonymous and aggregated form to make informed decisions about future app updates and feature development.

3. Third-Party Services

Our app integrates with several third-party services that help us provide and maintain the app. These services may collect and process information as described in their own privacy policies.

  • Google Translate API: For translating text and spoken words.

  • Google Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech: For voice input and output features.

  • Firebase Analytics: For collecting anonymous app usage data and crash reports. This helps us monitor and improve the app's stability and performance. You can learn more about how Google uses data here.

4. Advertising

The app may contain advertisements to support its free usage. We use Google's AdMob to serve ads. AdMob may collect and use anonymous data (such as your device's advertising ID) to personalize advertisements based on your interests. We do not link this data to your personal identity. You can learn more about AdMob's privacy practices and how to opt-out of personalized ads in your device settings.

5. Data Security

We are committed to protecting your data. We implement reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We do not store sensitive user data on our servers.

6. Children's Privacy

Our app is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit any personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

7. Your Privacy Rights

You have the right to:

  • Opt-out of Analytics: You can opt-out of non-personal data collection for analytics through your device's privacy settings.

  • Request Data Deletion: If you have voluntarily provided any personal information, you have the right to request its deletion by contacting us using the details below.

  • Uninstall the App: You can stop all future collection of information by uninstalling the app.
