Introduction

This privacy policy explains how translation-footnote-polisher.hub2.day handles information when you use this site. The site is a focused, independent web utility that helps visitors polish translated passages by generating stylistic and cultural footnotes. We aim to be transparent about what data is collected, how it is used, and what choices you have.

Information We Collect

Browser-Local Project Inputs

When you paste a translated passage into the tool, your input is processed in your browser or on our servers to generate footnotes. We do not intentionally store your passages after processing unless required for debugging or security. You are responsible for not submitting sensitive personal data (for example, passwords, financial details, or medical records) into the tool.

Contact Email

If you contact us at hello@translation-footnote-polisher.hub2.day, we will use your email address and message solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact emails to marketing lists or share them with unrelated third parties.

Server and Security Logs

Our hosting provider may automatically log technical information such as IP addresses, request timestamps, browser type, and error reports. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, and service reliability. Log data is retained only as long as necessary and is not used to build individual profiles.

Cookies and Local Storage

The site may use cookies or browser local storage to remember your preferences (such as language or consent choices) and to support core functionality. These are first-party storage mechanisms and are not used to track you across unrelated websites.

Google Advertising

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites. Google may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and interactions with ads to personalize advertising and measure performance.

You can learn more about how Google uses data at https://policies.google.com/privacy and opt out of personalized advertising at https://adssettings.google.com.

Legal Bases and Regional Rights

GDPR / EEA / UK

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies and personalized advertising. When you first visit the site, you will be presented with a consent mechanism to accept or decline these technologies. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or using the opt-out tools provided by Google.

Under applicable data protection law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@translation-footnote-polisher.hub2.day.

CCPA / CPRA (California)

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. This site does not sell personal information in the traditional sense, but the use of third-party advertising may constitute sharing under California law. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google’s ad settings or by using a recognized opt-out preference signal (such as the Global Privacy Control).

To submit a request, email hello@translation-footnote-polisher.hub2.day with your request details. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframes required by law.

Service Providers

We use third-party service providers for hosting, analytics, and advertising. These providers may process data on our behalf under contractual obligations to protect your information. We do not authorize them to use your data for their own purposes.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Server logs are typically retained for a short period (for example, 30–90 days) unless needed for ongoing security investigations. Contact emails are retained as long as needed to resolve your inquiry and for reasonable record-keeping.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

The site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

International Processing

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. These countries may have different data protection laws. Where required, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international data transfers.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
