LingoAI Translate Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-1-16

LingoAI (“we,” “our,” or “the app”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what data the app processes, how it is used, and the choices you have. If you have questions, contact us at the support address listed in the app or on the App Store listing.

Summary

• The app does not require accounts or sign-in.
• Translation runs locally on your device.
• Speech recognition uses Apple’s on-device or system speech services.
• Ads are provided by Google AdMob; ad providers may collect device identifiers for ad delivery and measurement.
• You can disable ad tracking in iOS Settings and remove ads with the in‑app purchase.

Data We Process

On-device translation data

• Text you enter or import is processed locally by the app to generate translations.
• Translation history is stored on your device to show past results.
• This data is not uploaded to our servers.

Speech recognition

• If you use speech input, the app uses Apple’s Speech framework and microphone.
• Speech data is handled by iOS for transcription; we do not receive your audio.
• You can revoke microphone and speech permissions at any time in iOS Settings.

Advertising data

• The free version displays ads using Google AdMob.
• Ad providers may collect identifiers (such as the device’s advertising identifier), IP address, coarse location, and performance data to deliver and measure ads.
• We do not control how third‑party advertising partners use their data. Review Google’s policies for details.

Analytics

• The app does not include custom analytics or user profiling.
• Diagnostic information may be collected by iOS (crash logs) and by third‑party SDKs embedded in the app.

How We Use Data

• Provide translation features and history on your device.
• Enable speech-to-text input when you grant permission.
• Show ads and measure ad performance (if ads are enabled).
• Maintain app stability and prevent abuse.

Data Sharing

• We do not sell or rent your personal data.
• Data may be shared with Apple and Google only as required to provide speech recognition or ads.

Data Storage and Retention

• Translation history is stored locally on your device.
• You can delete items in the History screen; removing the app deletes local data.
• Ad-related data is handled by third‑party providers per their policies.

Your Choices

• Permissions: Control microphone and speech recognition permissions in Settings.
• Ads: Use the in‑app purchase to remove ads. You can also limit ad tracking in iOS settings.
• History: Delete individual translations from the History list or remove the app to clear data.

Children’s Privacy

The app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

International Users

If you use the app outside your country, your device may process data in that region. We do not transfer your translation content to our servers.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
