Privacy Policy | Dugtong

1. Overview

Dugtong ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website at dugtong.com (the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

Translation text: When you use the translator, the text you enter is sent to our AI provider to generate translations. We do not intentionally store your translation content on our servers.
Feedback: If you use the feedback form, we may collect the issue category, suggested correction, comments, and associated translation context you choose to submit.

Information collected automatically

Usage data: Basic analytics such as page views, browser type, device information, and referring URLs may be collected in aggregate form.
Local storage: Translation history is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device unless you choose to share it.

3. How We Use Your Information

To provide and improve the translation service
To process and respond to feedback submissions
To maintain the security and reliability of our Service
To analyze usage patterns to improve user experience

4. Third-Party Services

We use third-party AI providers to process translations. When you translate text, it is sent to these providers to generate results. We do not share personally identifiable information with them beyond what is necessary to process your translation request.

Your translation content is transmitted securely over HTTPS. Please refer to your AI provider's privacy policy for more information about how they handle data.

5. Data Storage & Security

Local data: Translation history is stored only on your device and can be cleared at any time through the History modal or your browser settings.
Server logs: We may retain minimal server logs for security and debugging purposes. These logs do not include full translation content.
Security: We implement reasonable security measures to protect our Service, but no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

The right to access, update, or delete your information
The right to object to or restrict processing
The right to data portability
The right to withdraw consent

Since most data is stored locally on your device, you can exercise many of these rights directly through your browser settings.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
