Privacy Policy

What We Collect:

We may collect data such as your IP address, device information (e.g., device type, operating system), browser type, and user activity logs.

Purpose and Limitation:

This data is collected strictly for the purposes of maintaining the security of our services, diagnosing technical issues, and improving system performance. We have evaluated the necessity of each data point and have limited our collection to information that is essential to ensure a safe and efficient user experience. No additional log data will be retained or processed for purposes unrelated to these defined objectives.

What We Collect:

MachineTranslation.com may collect location data derived from IP addresses. Collection of precise location data via GPS or similar technologies will only occur if a specific service feature explicitly requires it.

Purpose and Limitation:

Precise location data is not collected by default. When such data is necessary—for example, to provide location-specific services or regional language options—explicit consent will be sought from you beforehand. You will be provided with a clear choice to opt in or out of location data collection, ensuring that only the minimum necessary location information is used strictly for the stated purpose.

What We Collect and Share:

MachineTranslation.com shares only the source text you provide for translation with external translation providers. No personal user data or other identifying information is included in these requests or otherwise disclosed.

Purpose and Limitation:

This sharing is strictly for the purpose of obtaining translation services. The external translation providers do not receive additional personal information about the users, and they are contractually obligated to handle the source text under strict confidentiality and data protection standards.

Collection Review:

MachineTranslation.com continuously reviews the data collected to ensure that it is limited to what is directly relevant and necessary to fulfill the purposes described above. If certain data is found to be excessive or unnecessary for the functioning of our service, MachineTranslation.com will cease its collection and remove any previously collected data that does not comply with our data minimization principle.

Ongoing Assessment:

Regular audits are conducted to ensure that MachineTranslation.com’s data collection practices remain aligned with the principle of data minimization. Any changes in service functionality or new features that require personal data will be accompanied by a revised explanation of data necessity and scope.

Retention Periods:

Personal data will be retained only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. Specific retention periods are defined based on the type of data and its intended use. Once the data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Review and Deletion:

MachineTranslation.com implements regular reviews of the personal data in its possession to ensure that data is not retained beyond its useful life. Data that no longer serves a legitimate purpose will be promptly removed from our systems.

Your Rights:

In compliance with GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal data. You may also object to or restrict certain types of data processing. Detailed instructions for exercising these rights can be found in the “Your Rights” section of this Privacy Policy.

Consent and Control:

MachineTranslation.com provides clear, understandable notifications regarding data collection and usage. When sensitive data (such as precise location data) is required, MachineTranslation.com will obtain your explicit consent before proceeding. You are empowered to control the data you share, and MachineTranslation.com offers simple mechanisms for opting out of non-essential data collection.
