Privacy — altoTranslate

This marketing website (altotranslate.xyz)

We use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool, to understand aggregate traffic on this landing site (for example page views and referrers). It does not read your extension settings or translation content. Umami Cloud hosts those aggregated metrics according to Umami's terms and policies.

What the extension can see

• Selected text on web pages when you intentionally use the extension (for example after you highlight text and open the translation popup or use the keyboard shortcut). The extension only processes text you select in that way.
• Your settings stored in the browser, such as preferred translation API, languages, and optional API keys.
• The extension can talk to translation services you choose (Google Gemini, OpenRouter, and/or MyMemory), as described below.

What we do not collect

We do not operate a server that stores your translations. Alto Translate has no analytics or user accounts in the extension. We do not sell your data. We do not build a history of your translations on our side—there is no Alto Translate backend receiving your text for storage.

Where your API keys stay

If you add API keys for Gemini or OpenRouter, they are saved in Chrome's extension storage (the same kind of protected local storage Chrome uses for extension settings). Keys are not sent to us; they stay on your device and are used only to call the providers you configured.

Where translation requests go

When you translate, the request goes directly from your browser to the service you selected:

• Google Gemini— Google's generativelanguage API
• OpenRouter— OpenRouter's API (which may route to third-party models according to their terms)
• MyMemory — the MyMemory translation API (no key required for basic use)

Each provider has its own privacy policy and terms; use of those services is subject to their rules.

Cached translations

To speed up repeat lookups, the extension may cache some successful translation results locally in your browser. You can clear translation cache from the extension's settings when that option is available.
