Privacy Policy for Typing Translate AI
Effective Date: April 13, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to Typing Translate AI! This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Chrome Extension ("Extension"). Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to transparency about our data practices.
This Extension helps you translate text or get phrasing suggestions as you type by pressing the Ctrl + Space keyboard shortcut.
2. Information We Collect
Typing Translate AI is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, log, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) or any other user data from your device.
When you activate the translation or suggestion feature (e.g., by selecting text and pressing Ctrl + Space, or just pressing Ctrl + Space after typing), the specific text you have selected or recently typed is processed in real-time. This processing happens solely to provide you with the requested translation or phrasing suggestion.
3. How We Use Information
The text you provide for translation or suggestions is used exclusively for the following purposes:
- To send the text to the integrated third-party AI service (Google Gemini) for processing.
- To receive the translation or suggestion result from the AI service.
- To display the result back to you within the context of your browser.
This text is processed ephemerally (temporarily, only for the duration of the request) and is not stored, logged, or associated with any user identity by the Typing Translate AI extension itself.
4. Third-Party Services (Google Gemini)
To provide its core functionality (AI-powered translation, natural phrasing suggestions, polite phrasing suggestions), Typing Translate AI utilizes Google's Gemini API.
- When you use the Extension's features, the text you intend to translate or get suggestions for is securely sent to the Google Gemini API for processing.
- Your use of these features means the processing of that text is subject to Google's own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We strongly recommend reviewing them:
- Typing Translate AI only sends the selected/typed text to the Google Gemini API. It does not send any other personal information, Browse history, or user identifiers along with the request.
5. Information Sharing
We do not share, sell, or rent any user data or personally identifiable information with any third parties.
The only instance where data (the text you provide) leaves your browser via the Extension is when it is sent to the Google Gemini API for processing, as described in Section 4, which is essential for the Extension's functionality.
6. Data Security
While Typing Translate AI does not store your data, we take reasonable precautions. Communication between the Extension and the Google Gemini API occurs over secure HTTPS connections.
However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We rely on the security mechanisms provided by your browser and the Google Cloud Platform / Gemini API.
7. Data Retention
As stated previously, Typing Translate AI does not collect or store any user input, selected text, or translation/suggestion results. All processing is done in real-time and is ephemeral.
8. Children's Privacy
Typing Translate AI is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect any information from children.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the date at the top of this policy and potentially through the Chrome Web Store listing or other means. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Your continued use of the Extension after any changes signifies your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
