Data Collection Practices

To improve and optimize our service, we collect anonymized usage data. This data cannot be linked to any individual user and includes:

1. User interactions within the application

Any feedback provided is stored anonymously. We do not collect or store any text entered for other purposes.

2. To utilize these tokens, users must log in with their Apple ID. We employ an anonymized Apple ID to identify and manage purchased tokens. This anonymized identifier does not contain any personal information.
3. When logging in with an Apple ID, TinyTranslate does not request or receive any personal information, such as names or email addresses.

Third-Party Services

Translation Services

TinyTranslate utilizes multiple translation services to provide accurate and reliable language translations. These services are accessed through paid, private APIs.

It's important to note that each translation service provider may have different policies regarding privacy and data storage. While we strive to protect your privacy, the handling of your provided texts may vary depending on the specific service used for translation. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of our third-party translation providers for more detailed information on how they process and store data.

The translation services used include:

1. Google's Cloud Translation API: For details on data security and privacy, please review Google's Data Usage Policy.
2. DeepL API: For details on data security and privacy, please review DeepL's Pro Data Security documentation.
3. ModernMT API: For details on data security and privacy, please review ModernMT's Privacy Policy documentation.

We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that your translation data is handled securely and respectfully.

Payment Processing

All payments made within TinyTranslate are processed using Apple's In-App Purchase system. This includes purchases for token packs (characters) and subscriptions. We utilize Apple's secure payment infrastructure to handle all financial transactions. TinyTranslate does not directly process any payments.

When you make a purchase:

1. The transaction is handled entirely by Apple's systems.
2. We receive and store only the transaction results and your subscription or token pack status.

For more information about Apple's In-App Purchase system and its privacy practices, please refer to Apple's privacy policy.

Security Measures

We implement robust security practices to protect your data. However, it is important to note that 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.

We encourage users to report any security vulnerabilities they may discover.

Children's Privacy and COPPA Compliance

TinyTranslate does not target or address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. Our practices comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
