Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At HTML Translate, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our service. The short version: we store your translated files securely for 24 hours (accessible only via unique link), we don't collect personal data, and we don't share anything with third parties.

Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not store original uploaded HTML files (only translated results for 24 hours)
• We do not collect personal information (names, emails, addresses)
• We do not track individual user behavior or create user profiles
• We do not use cookies for tracking purposes
• We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties
• We do not require user registration or accounts

How File Translation Works

When you upload an HTML file for translation:

1. Your original file is temporarily processed in memory on our server
2. The translation is performed in real-time (typically 20-30 seconds)
3. The translated file is securely stored with a unique download link
4. You receive a unique link valid for 24 hours to download your translated file
5. After 24 hours, all files and data are automatically and permanently deleted
6. No one except you (with the unique link) can access your translated files

This 24-hour storage period allows you to download your files at your convenience and access them from different devices. Your original uploaded file is never stored — only the translated result.

Technical Information

Like most websites, our servers automatically collect certain technical information to ensure the service operates correctly:

• Server logs (IP addresses, browser types, access times) - retained temporarily for security and debugging purposes
• Aggregate usage statistics (number of translations, popular languages) - anonymized and used only to improve our service

This technical information cannot be used to identify individual users and is never combined with personal data.

Third-Party Services

We use minimal third-party services to operate HTML Translate:

• Translation API: Your HTML content is sent to a translation service provider for processing. This data is transmitted securely and is not retained by the translation provider.
• Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand general usage patterns. This helps us improve the service. You can opt out using browser extensions or privacy settings.
• Hosting Provider: Our website is hosted on secure servers. The hosting provider has access to server logs but not to the content of files you translate.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data during the translation process:

• All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption
• File processing happens in secure, isolated environments
• Download links use unique, non-guessable IDs (UUIDs) for security
• Only the person with the unique link can access the translated files
• Access to our servers is restricted and monitored
• Automatic deletion after 24 hours ensures no long-term data retention
• We regularly update our systems to address potential security vulnerabilities

Your Rights and Choices

Since we don't collect or store personal information, there's no data to request, modify, or delete. You have complete control over your files:

• You can use our service anonymously without creating an account
• You control what files you upload and when
• You can choose to use browser privacy features or VPNs for additional anonymity
• You can stop using our service at any time with no consequences

Cookies and Tracking

HTML Translate uses minimal cookies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly (session management, security)
• Analytics Cookies: Used by Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics

We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking, or profiling. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect some website functionality.

Children's Privacy

HTML Translate does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Our service is designed for general audiences and does not require age verification. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used our service, please note that we do not retain any uploaded files or personal information.

International Users

HTML Translate is accessible worldwide. By using our service, you acknowledge that your files may be processed on servers located in different countries during the translation process. We ensure that all data processing complies with applicable privacy laws and regulations.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for legal compliance. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Material changes that affect how we handle your data will be prominently announced on our website before they take effect.
