Privacy Policy
Introduction
InstantTranslator ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of our users ("you", "your"). This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use and protect it, and your rights regarding your personal data. We are dedicated to minimizing data collection and ensuring that you have control over your personal information.
Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect, monitor, record, or store your traffic destination, data content, or search preferences. This means that the content you translate using InstantTranslator remains private and is not tracked or stored by us in any form.
Information We Collect
In compliance with third-party advertising platform requirements, our product collects certain device information and advertising data. The data collected includes, but is not limited to:
- Device type and model
- Operating system version
- Advertising ID
- Data related to ad performance and engagement
This data is used to generate statistics related to our third-party advertising partners. The primary purpose of collecting this information is to prevent advertising fraud and ensure the delivery of relevant ads. Importantly, this information does not include your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information.
Offline Translation and Google ML Kit
InstantTranslator uses Google ML Kit to provide on-device offline translation. When you use Offline Translation, the text translation step is performed locally on your device using language models provided by Google Translate. Your text and the resulting translation are not sent to Google for the purpose of generating the translation.
The ML Kit SDK may connect to Google services to download or update language models, receive bug fixes and hardware compatibility information, and send technical, performance, and API usage metrics to Google for service maintenance, improvement, security, and abuse prevention.
Downloaded language models are stored on your device and can be removed through the app where supported or by deleting the app.
In voice, camera, photo, and screen translation modes, Google’s on-device translation applies only to the text translation step. Speech recognition, optical character recognition (OCR), and text-to-speech may use separate technologies.
Google processes related information according to its Privacy Policy:

Third-Party Advertising
We partner with third-party advertising platforms that may collect certain data as described above. These platforms are responsible for their own data collection practices, and we recommend that you review their privacy policies to understand how they handle your data.
GDPR Compliance
If you are a resident of the European Union ("EU"), the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") requires us to outline our practices in a specific manner. We adhere to GDPR guidelines by:
- Ensuring that any data we collect is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
- Minimizing data collection to only what is necessary for the purposes stated.
- Providing you with the ability to access, correct, or delete your personal data.
Data Security
We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While no online service can guarantee complete security, we are committed to keeping your data safe.
Refund Review and Information Use Authorization
When you request a refund for a completed purchase, we need to verify the transaction and related account activity to ensure fair use, prevent fraud and abuse, and meet the requirements of distribution platforms, payment institutions, and applicable laws. By submitting a refund request, you consent to our collecting, using, and retaining the relevant information, and disclosing it as necessary to distribution platforms (such as Apple) and payment service providers, for refund review, processing, and dispute resolution. Such information includes your ordering and refund records, transaction reference number, the delivery and use of the purchased content, and account activity (such as account age, past spending, and prior refund history). This authorization is a precondition for processing your refund request; if you do not agree, we may be unable to proceed.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: You can request that we correct any inaccuracies in your personal data.
- Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain legal obligations.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
