1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, display name, and encrypted password. OAuth providers (Google, Facebook) share your basic profile info.

Uploaded Files: Subtitle files you upload for translation are stored on our servers or cloud storage for translation and access from History. You can delete a job and its associated files from History.

Usage Data: We track translation volume (lines translated per month) to enforce usage limits. When enabled, we collect first-party page and feature event counts without analytics cookies, fingerprinting, subtitle text or filenames. Client-side collection respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Operational job records are associated with your account.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To authenticate you and manage your account
  • To send transactional emails (password reset, account verification)
  • To prevent abuse and enforce rate limits

3. Data Storage & Retention

Uploaded subtitle files and results are stored to provide translation and access from History. You can delete a job and its associated files from History. Contact service@subtitletranslator.org to request deletion of account data.
