Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Photo Translator collects, uses, and shares information when you use our free online tool. This policy is written in compliance with:
- Google's Privacy Policy Requirements
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
- Google Analytics Terms of Service
- Google API Services User Data Policy
By using Photo Translator, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this policy.
What Data We Do NOT Collect
We want to be crystal clear: Photo Translator does not save, store, or retain any user data. Specifically, we do NOT collect:
- Images or photos you upload to the tool
- Text extracted from your images
- Translated text or output results
- Your name, email address, or any personal information
- Your account details (we have no accounts or login system)
- Payment information (our tool is completely free)
- Your search or translation history
Every image you upload is processed entirely in real time and permanently discarded the moment your result is delivered. Nothing is written to our servers. Nothing is kept.
What We Do Collect (Automatically)
Like virtually every website on the internet, our servers automatically receive basic technical data when you visit. This includes IP Address (used temporarily for security), Browser Type, Device Type, and Referring URL. This data is collected in aggregate and anonymized form only. It is never sold and never shared for marketing purposes.
Cookies
Photo Translator uses a minimal number of cookies to ensure the website functions correctly. We use Essential Cookies and anonymous Analytics Cookies. You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings.
How Your Images Are Processed
When you upload an image, it is sent securely via HTTPS. Our OCR engine extracts the text, passes it to the translation engine, and delivers the result back to your screen. Your image and all associated data are immediately and permanently deleted. At no point is your image saved to a database, hard drive, or cloud storage.
Data Security
Although we do not store user data, we take security seriously for data in transit. We implement HTTPS encryption, secure server infrastructure, and immediate data deletion after every translation request.
