Privacy Policy
This policy explains what happens to your data when you use the Live Video Translate browser extension. In short: we translate the sound of the video you switched the extension on for, and we do not keep it.
Who we are
deeptranslate OÜ, Narva mnt 5, 10557 Tallinn, Estonia, registry code 17438172. Contact: contact@deeptranslate.eu. We are the controller of the data described here.
What the extension processes
- Video sound. When you switch the extension ON, it reads the sound of the main video on the page you are watching (only on YouTube, Bilibili, Tencent Video, iQiyi and Youku) and streams it to our translation server. This happens only while the extension is ON and the video is playing. Ads are skipped, and copy protected videos are not processed.
- Translation results. Our server sends back an English voice and English text (and, for Chinese, the recognised Chinese text), which the extension plays and shows on the video.
- Settings. Your settings (on or off, language, voice over or subtitles, volumes) are stored only in your own browser through Chrome storage. They are not sent to us.
- Technical connection data. Like any internet service, our server receives your IP address when the extension connects. Our server logs record the time of a session, the IP address and technical errors.
What we do not do
- We do not store the audio of the videos you watch. It is translated on the fly and discarded.
- We do not store the translated text or a list of the videos or pages you watch.
- We do not read anything else on the page, and the extension does not run on any other website.
- We do not use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers in the extension.
- We do not sell or share your data, and we do not use it for any purpose other than translating the video you are watching.
Why we process it (legal basis)
We process the video sound and the connection data because it is necessary to provide the translation you asked for (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), and we keep short technical logs for security and to fix errors (our legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Where and how long
Translation runs on GPU servers that we rent from cloud providers in the European Union. The providers process data only on our instructions. Video sound is kept only in memory for the seconds needed to translate it. Server logs are deleted after 14 days.
Your rights
You can ask us for access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, restrict or object to its processing, and complain to a data protection authority (in Estonia: Andmekaitse Inspektsioon). Because we do not keep audio or translations, in practice the only personal data we may hold is the IP address in our logs for up to 14 days. To stop all processing, switch the extension OFF or remove it from Chrome.
Chrome Web Store User Data Policy
The use of information received from the extension complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Changes
If we change how data is handled, for example when we add accounts or payments, we will update this page and the date above before the change takes effect.
