Privacy Policy for PrivaTranslate

Last Updated: May 26, 2026

Overview

PrivaTranslate is a privacy-first browser extension designed to translate web pages using a locally-running Large Language Model (LLM) via Ollama. Your data never leaves your device.

1. User Data Collection

PrivaTranslate does NOT collect, store, transmit, or share any personal, sensitive, or browsing data.

Specifically, the extension does not collect:

• Personal identifiers (name, email, account details)
• Browsing history or URLs visited
• Web page content or selected text
• Translation requests, results, or historical inputs
• IP addresses or device identifiers
• Usage analytics, statistics, or telemetry
• Cookies or tracking data

2. User Data Handling

All translation requests and page content processing are handled locally:

• Translation Processing: Web page text is extracted and translated entirely within your browser environment.
• Local AI Inference: PrivaTranslate makes network requests exclusively to localhost (http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost) to communicate with your locally-running Ollama server. No data is ever transmitted to external servers, cloud translation systems, or third-party AI APIs.

3. User Data Storage

No personal data or translated texts are saved on remote servers.

The extension only stores the following configuration parameters locally on your device using Chrome's storage APIs:

• User Preferences: Ollama server URL, preferred LLM model name, and default source/target languages.
• Translation Modes: Preferred visual layout (e.g., overlay, replace, or side-by-side).
• Connection Settings: Connection timeout configurations.

This data is stored locally and, if you have enabled Chrome browser sync, synced across your own Chrome instances. This data is never sent to us or any third party, and can be deleted by clearing extension data or uninstalling PrivaTranslate.

4. User Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or transmit any data to any party. PrivaTranslate operates without a remote backend or cloud infrastructure.
