Privacy Policy

What happens to the text you type

When you use the Type in Telugu or Translate text tools, whatever you type is sent directly from your browser to Google's public translation and transliteration infrastructure (the same underlying service behind Google Translate and the Telugu keyboards built into many phones), which returns a result that this page displays. This site's own servers never receive, log, or store that text at any point; the request goes from your browser to Google, and the response comes back to your browser. This is a genuine third-party data flow, not a marketing simplification: if you're translating something sensitive, keep in mind it is processed by Google's systems in order to produce a result, the same as it would be with Google Translate itself.

A specific, honest note on how the translation is powered

This site does not use Google's official, paid Cloud Translation API. Instead, it calls the same public, unauthenticated endpoints that power Google's own free typing tools and that several open-source translation libraries also use. That's a deliberate engineering choice for this free site, made openly here rather than left unstated: it lets the tool run with no backend server, no API key, and no cost, which is what makes it possible to offer it for free with no sign-up. The honest tradeoff is that these are not official, contracted endpoints: there is no service-level agreement, no uptime guarantee, and Google could change, rate-limit, restrict, or discontinue access to them at any time without notice to this site. If that happens, the typing or translation tools on this page could stop working or return errors until a fix is deployed. This isn't a hidden shortcut or something we'd rather you didn't notice: it's the actual, current architecture of a free tool built without a paid backend, described plainly so you know exactly what you're relying on.

No accounts, no passwords, no personal profile

There is no sign-up, login, or account system anywhere on this site. Nothing you do here is tied to an identity, an email address, or a persistent profile, because no such system exists to tie it to.

What this site does store locally, on your device

A small amount of information is saved in your browser's own local storage (not a cookie, and not sent to any server automatically) so the site behaves sensibly on your next visit:

• Theme preference: whether you last chose light or dark mode, so the site doesn't reset to default every time you return.
• Your last typed text: the tool remembers what you typed in each tab, so refreshing the page or coming back later doesn't lose your place. This is stored only in your own browser, never sent anywhere as part of this feature.
• Feedback vote flag: a marker recording that you already voted 👍 or 👎 on a particular tool, so you aren't shown the same prompt repeatedly. It records only which tool and which vote, never anything that identifies you.

The optional feedback button

If you choose to click the 👍 or 👎 feedback button under a tool, your browser sends a small anonymous message containing exactly two pieces of information: which tool you rated, and which way you voted. No cookie, IP address, or device fingerprint is attached to that message by this site's own code, and it is used purely as an aggregate counter ("how many people found this tool helpful"), never to build a profile of you individually. As with any request to any website, the underlying network connection necessarily passes through our hosting provider's infrastructure (Cloudflare), which, like virtually every website host, keeps standard connection-level logs (such as IP address and timestamp) for operating and securing the service; that's a property of how the internet and this site's hosting work, not something this site's own application code additionally collects or stores.

Analytics: cookie-free, aggregated, no individual tracking

This site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for basic traffic statistics: for example, how many people visit, which pages are popular, and how fast pages load. Cloudflare Web Analytics is specifically designed to work without cookies and without any persistent client-side identifier, and it does not track you across other websites. It reports aggregated numbers (like total page views), not individual visitor histories. No banner asking you to "accept cookies" appears on this site, because no tracking cookie is set that would require one.

Fonts and other assets: self-hosted, no third-party requests

The typeface used on this site (Inter, for both body text and the logo) is hosted on this site's own servers rather than loaded live from Google Fonts or any other third-party font service. That means simply viewing a page here doesn't trigger a separate request to a font company that could, on some sites, be used to build a browsing profile. The site's icons and images are served from this site too, not embedded from a third party. The one deliberate exception is the translation and typing tools themselves, described above, which by their nature need to send your typed text to Google's translation service to work at all.

Advertising

To be direct about where this site stands today: no third-party advertising is currently served on this site. The layout reserves a labelled, fixed-height space for advertising that may be added in the future to help cover hosting costs, but as of now that space is empty and loads nothing: no ad script, no ad cookie, no ad tracking. If that changes, this page will be updated to describe exactly what's added and what data, if any, the ad provider collects, before it goes live.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, largely because it doesn't collect personal information from anyone at all, given there's no account system involved.

Your choices and control

Because everything this site stores about your visit lives in your own browser's local storage rather than on a server, you're always in full control of it: clearing your browser's site data for this domain (through your browser's own settings) removes the theme preference, saved text, and feedback-vote flag immediately and completely. There's no account to delete and no server-side profile to request removal of, because none exists. For the text sent to Google's translation service to produce a result, Google's own privacy policy governs how that service handles it on their end; this page can only describe what this site itself does, not a third party's internal practices.

Changes to this policy

If what this site collects or how it works changes (for example, if advertising is added), this page will be updated to describe the change plainly, in the same style as the rest of this page, rather than buried in dense legal language.
