Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to LingualSnap. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website or use our Chrome Extension and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

2. The Data We Collect About You

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

• Identity Data: Includes your email address and Google profile information when you authenticate via Google OAuth.
• Technical Data: Includes authentication tokens used to keep you securely logged into the extension and dashboard.
• Usage Data: Includes the specific text you explicitly highlight and send to our servers for translation. We do not track your general web browsing history.
• Financial Data: Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store or process your credit card details on our servers.

3. How We Use Your Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• To provide you with our core service (translating text using AI).
• To manage your account, flashcards, and subscription status.
• To process your payments via our third-party payment processor (Stripe).

We strictly do not sell your personal data to any third parties.

4. Chrome Extension Specifics

Our Chrome Extension requires certain permissions (like activeTab and contextMenus) to function. These permissions are used strictly to read the text you explicitly select for translation. The extension does not monitor or record your general browsing activity, history, or any data on pages where you do not actively use the translation tool.

5. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. All user data is securely stored using Google Cloud (Firebase).

6. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including the right to request access, correction, or erasure of your personal data. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time through the dashboard settings.
