AI Translator Privacy Policy

At AI Translator: Voice & Photo, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle your information when you use our mobile application ("AI Translator," "the App," "our App") on iOS devices. By using AI Translator, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you use AI Translator, you may provide certain information directly to us:

• Voice Input: When you use voice translation features, your voice audio is temporarily processed to convert speech to text and translate it. Voice data is processed locally on your device when using offline mode, or sent to our translation servers for online translation.
• Text Input: Text you type for translation is processed to provide translation results. Translation history is saved locally on your device.
• Photo/Camera Input: When you use the photo translator feature, images you capture or upload are analyzed to extract and translate text. Photos are processed temporarily and are not stored on our servers unless you explicitly save them.
• Translation History: Your translation history is stored locally on your device to provide quick access to past translations. You can delete this history at any time.
• Language Preferences: Your preferred languages and settings are stored to personalize your experience.
• Support Communications: When you contact us at engr.salmankh.77@gmail.com, we collect your email address and the content of your message to provide support.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

To improve the App's functionality and user experience, we automatically collect certain information:

• Device Information: We collect device model, iOS version, unique device identifiers, device language settings, and network information.
• Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with the App, including features used (voice, photo, text translation), language pairs selected, translation frequency, and app performance metrics.
