2. Information We Collect

Quanqua is designed with privacy in mind. Here's what we collect:

2.1 Translation Data

When you use our translation service, we temporarily process your text through Google Cloud Translation API. Your translated text is sent to Google's servers for processing, but we do NOT store or log this data on our servers.

2.2 Local Browser Storage

Your translation history is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

2.3 Usage Data

We may collect anonymous usage statistics such as page views, features used, and general user behavior patterns to improve our service. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain our translation service
• To improve and optimize our service's performance
• To analyze usage patterns and identify areas for enhancement
• To ensure the security and integrity of our service
• To comply with legal obligations

4. Data Storage and Security

No Server-Side Storage: We do NOT store your translated text on our servers. Translation data is processed in real-time and not retained.

Local Storage: Your translation history is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. This means:

• Your history is only accessible on the device where you used Quanqua
• Clearing your browser data will remove your translation history
• We cannot access or retrieve your stored translations

Third-Party Services: We use Google Cloud Translation API for translation services. Your text is sent to Google's secure servers, and we recommend reviewing Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Quanqua uses minimal to no cookies. We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. Any cookies that may be used are strictly for functionality (such as remembering your language preferences) and are session-based.

We do not use third-party tracking services, analytics tools that track individual users, or advertising cookies. Your browsing experience on Quanqua is private and not used for commercial tracking.

6. Third-Party Services

Quanqua relies on the following third-party services:

Google Cloud Translation API

We use Google's translation service to provide accurate translations. When you translate text, it is sent to Google's servers for processing. Please review Google's privacy policy atpolicies.google.com/privacy.

Web Speech API

For voice input and output features, we use the browser's built-in Web Speech API. Audio processing happens entirely in your browser and is not transmitted to external servers.

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. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove that information from our records.
