Privacy Policy AI Translate Camera Voice
# Privacy Policy
**Developer/Company:** [Future Winners]
**App Name:** AI Translate: Camera Voice
**Effective Date:** May 13, 2026
## 1. Introduction
[Future Winners] ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the AI Translate: Camera Voice mobile application (the "App"). Our core translation services operate entirely on-device (offline) to maximize your privacy.
## 2. Information We Collect
Because our App utilizes On-Device Machine Learning (Google ML Kit), your primary data (such as voice recordings, captured photos, and typed text) is **processed locally on your device and is NEVER transmitted to our servers or third-party cloud services for translation purposes.**
However, to provide advertising and app functionality, we may collect:
* **Automatically Collected Data:** Device identifiers, IP addresses, mobile operating system details, and general usage statistics (e.g., ad interactions) collected by our advertising partners.
* **Locally Stored Data:** Your translation history and bookmarked phrases are stored locally on your device's internal storage using Room Database. We do not have access to this data.
## 3. Permissions Used
To function correctly, the App requires the following Android permissions:
* `CAMERA`: Required for the Camera Translate (OCR) feature. The images captured are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded or saved to any external server.
* `RECORD_AUDIO`: Required for the Voice Translate and Conversation modes. Your voice is processed locally on-device by ML Kit to convert speech to text. No audio recordings are saved or transmitted off-device.
* `INTERNET` & `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`: Required to download offline language models from Google, and to serve advertisements via AdMob.
## 4. Third-Party Services
The App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.
* **Google AdMob:** We use AdMob to serve advertisements. AdMob may collect and use advertising IDs and device data to serve personalized ads. You can view their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy
* **Google ML Kit:** Used for on-device language translation, language identification, and text recognition. While it processes data on-device, it requires an initial internet connection to download language models.
* **Google User Messaging Platform (UMP):** Used to gather consent for personalized advertising, particularly for users in the EEA and UK to comply with GDPR.
## 5. Data Retention
* **Local Data:** Your translation history and bookmarks persist on your device until you manually clear the app data or uninstall the App.
* **Ad Data:** Data collected by AdMob is retained according to Google's data retention policies.
## 6. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. Data automatically collected by our SDKs (like AdMob) is shared only as necessary to provide advertising services, as governed by their respective privacy policies.
## 7. User Rights & Control
* **Ad Personalization:** Depending on your region, you will be prompted by the Google UMP dialogue to consent to or opt-out of personalized advertising. You can reset your advertising ID via your device's system settings at any time.
* **Data Deletion:** Because your translation data is stored locally, you can delete it instantly by uninstalling the App or clearing the App's storage cache in your Android settings.
## 8. Children's Privacy
Our App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information without parental consent, we will take steps to remove it.
## 9. Account Deletion
This App does not require user accounts, registration, or logins. Therefore, there is no account deletion process. To remove all your data, simply uninstall the App.
## 10. Security
We value your trust in providing us with your information. By designing the App to process sensitive data (voice and images) strictly on-device, we inherently minimize security risks. However, remember that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.
## 11. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top.
