Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 27, 2026

Live AI Translate (“App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides AI-powered translation, photo translation, OCR, voice translation, live translation, AI keyboard, Ask AI, Write, Reply, Continue, Spell Check, and related language assistance features.

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we collect it, how we use it, what data may be transmitted to third-party providers, how users provide or withdraw permission, and how long data is retained. This Policy applies to the Live AI Translate mobile application and related services. Platform-specific items are noted where applicable.

Important notice about your translation content We do not collect or store your original translation content, photos, voice recordings, text prompts, OCR text, or AI replies on our own servers. When you actively use a feature that requires cloud translation, AI inference, OCR, speech recognition, analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or purchase management, limited data may be processed by the relevant third-party provider as described below. Translation history and similar records, if enabled, are stored locally on your device and can be deleted by you in the App or by uninstalling the App.

1. What data does the App obtain?

1.1 Content you actively provide when using features

Depending on the feature you choose to use, the App may temporarily process the following data solely to complete your user-initiated request:

We do not use the above user-provided content for our own model training, advertising targeting, or sale to third parties.

1.2 Automatically collected technical and usage data

To operate, secure, analyze, improve, and monetize the App, we and our third-party SDK providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage data, such as:

1.3 Purchase and subscription data

If you make an in-app purchase or subscription, Apple StoreKit and the App Store process the payment. We may receive subscription status, product identifier, purchase date, expiration date, renewal status, and transaction metadata needed to unlock, restore, and manage premium features. We do not receive or store your credit card number or full payment account details.

1.4 Local storage on your device

The App may store preferences, language settings, consent status, cached content, translation history, and similar app data locally on your device. Local data remains under your device control. You may delete it through in-app settings where available, by clearing app data where supported, or by uninstalling the App.

2. How do we collect data?

We collect data in the following ways:

3. How do we use data?

We use data only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

4. AI, translation, OCR, and speech processing

Some features cannot work entirely on-device. When you actively request translation, OCR, voice recognition, or AI processing, your input may need to be transmitted over an encrypted connection to one or more third-party providers solely to complete your request.

4.1 User permission before transmission

Before transmitting your text, selected images, OCR text, voice audio, transcribed text, prompts, or AI replies to third-party AI, translation, OCR, or speech providers, the App presents a clear in-app notice and obtains your permission. If you tap “Disagree” or do not grant the required system permission, the App will not transmit the relevant content to that provider, and the corresponding feature may be unavailable or limited.

4.2 Protection commitments for AI and technical processing

When third-party providers process data on our behalf, we require them, through applicable contracts, service terms, security measures, and technical configurations available to us, to provide the same or equivalent level of protection as described in this Privacy Policy and required by applicable Apple guidelines. Our commitments include:

5. AI Keyboard and Allow Full Access

Live AI Translate may provide an optional AI Keyboard extension. The keyboard is designed to help you translate, rewrite, reply, continue, spell check, or generate language assistance directly from the keyboard interface.

If you enable the Live AI Translate keyboard and turn on Apple’s “Allow Full Access” permission, the keyboard may technically access the text you type, paste, select, or submit through the Live AI Translate keyboard so that it can provide the feature you requested. The keyboard is not intended to collect everything you type on your device, and it does not access text entered through other keyboards.

We do not collect or store keyboard input on our own servers. Keyboard-related text is processed only when you actively request a keyboard feature, such as Translate, Ask AI, Write, Reply, Continue, or Spell Check. When cloud processing is required, the necessary text, prompt, context, or generated result may be transmitted through an encrypted connection to the relevant AI or translation provider listed in this Policy solely to complete your request.

We do not send keyboard input to advertising, attribution, or analytics SDKs. We do not use keyboard input for our own model training, marketing, or independent commercial purposes. Please do not enter passwords, payment card numbers, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive information into the AI Keyboard.

You can disable the Live AI Translate keyboard or turn off “Allow Full Access” at any time in iOS Settings. If “Allow Full Access” is disabled, certain cloud-based AI keyboard features may not work or may be limited.

6. Analytics, attribution, advertising, crash reporting, and purchase providers

We use third-party SDKs to understand app performance, measure advertising effectiveness, show ads, detect crashes, prevent abuse, and manage purchases. These providers do not receive your original translation text, photos, voice recordings, prompts, OCR text, or AI replies for advertising or analytics purposes.

9. Third-party protection requirements

Any third party with whom we share user data is required to provide the same or equivalent protection of user data as stated in this Privacy Policy and required by applicable Apple guidelines. We use third-party providers only where they support security, confidentiality, access control, contractual protection, technical safeguards, and purpose-limited processing appropriate for the service they provide.

10. Managing your data and choices

11. Data retention and deletion

We do not store your original translation content, selected images, voice recordings, prompts, OCR text, or AI replies on our own servers. Local history and settings remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App.

Technical, analytics, attribution, crash, advertising, subscription, and support records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App, improve performance, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Where possible, analytics data is aggregated, de-identified, or minimized.

Third-party providers may retain limited data according to their own service, security, abuse-prevention, and legal requirements. Their privacy policies are linked above.

12. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These safeguards include encrypted transmission where technically supported, access controls, limited-purpose processing, and monitoring of third-party SDK integrations. No system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

13. International transfers

Because our service providers operate globally, data may be processed in countries or regions other than where you live. We take steps designed to ensure that such processing is protected according to this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

14. Children’s privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete or restrict such data.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above and post the revised Policy at this page. Your continued use of the App after the revised Policy becomes effective means you acknowledge the updated Policy.
