Privacy Policy – Language Translator AI

§ 01

Data We Collect

Anonymous Authentication

The Application uses Firebase Anonymous Authentication to manage user sessions. Here is how it works:

When you install and open the Application, a unique anonymous ID is automatically generated for your session.
No personal information is collected during this process.
Your Application usage is managed entirely using this anonymous unique ID.
This approach allows us to deliver a personalized experience without compromising your privacy.

What We Do Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate the Application:

Anonymous Firebase User ID — a randomly generated identifier with no connection to your real identity.
Subscription status — whether your subscription is active or inactive.
Transaction response from Google (Android) or Apple (iOS) — used solely for the purpose of validating your purchase.

What We Do NOT Collect

We do not intentionally collect, store, or process any of the following:

Name
Email address
Phone number
Physical address
Payment card details or banking information
Device location
Voice recordings or translation content
