Privacy Policy

Fast Translate Now · Last updated 23 August 2026

We built Fast Translate Now to work without an account. This policy explains what the App processes, where, and why.

No account, no sign-in

The App creates a random, anonymous device identifier on first launch. It is used only to authenticate requests to our translation server and to apply the free-plan daily limit. It is not linked to your name, email or Apple ID.

What stays on your device

Speech recognition runs on your iPhone (Apple's speech framework). When on-device recognition for a language is not available, iOS may use Apple's speech servers according to Apple's privacy policy.
Voices (text-to-speech) are generated on your device by open-source models; no audio is uploaded.
History, favorites, flashcards and settings are stored locally on your device and are never sent to us.
Offline translation (Apple Translation) runs entirely on-device.

What is sent to our server

To translate online, the App sends the text you typed or spoke (as recognized text), the photo you chose for image translation, or the document text — together with the language pair, the chosen tone and your anonymous device identifier — to our server, which forwards it to an AI provider (OpenAI) for translation. This content is processed to produce the translation and is not used to train models. We do not store translation content on our servers beyond short-lived operational logs needed to keep the service running, which never include your identity.

Purchases

Subscriptions are handled by Apple and by RevenueCat, which processes purchase receipts to unlock Pro features. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID and transaction data from Apple; it does not receive your translations. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

Permissions

Microphone & Speech Recognition — to hear and transcribe what you say.
Camera & Photos — only when you choose to translate a photo or use the live camera. Live-camera text is read on-device; only the recognized text is sent for translation.

You can change these at any time in iOS Settings.

Analytics and tracking

We do not use advertising SDKs, we do not track you across apps or websites, and we do not sell data.

Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

Data retention and your rights

You can delete everything at any time in the App under Settings › Privacy & data › Delete my data: this erases all local data (history, favorites, settings, downloaded voices if chosen) and permanently revokes your anonymous device identity on our server. Deleting the App also removes all local data. Operational logs are rotated automatically. You can contact us for any privacy question at [email protected].
