4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on our servers using industry-standard encryption protocols. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

6. Third-Party Services

Our Extension uses third-party AI services to provide translation functionality. These services may process text you submit for translation to generate results. We do not store or retain the text sent to these services beyond what is necessary to provide the translation.

Additionally, our Extension may interact with websites you visit to provide translation services. We only process text content that you explicitly request to translate and do not collect or store website content beyond your immediate translation requests.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete such information.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws. By using our Extension, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries.

We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
