Privacy Policy — LocalAI Translator
Last updated: March 2026
🛡️ The short version: LocalAI Translator processes everything on your device. We collect zero personal data — no analytics, no crash reports, no cloud uploads. Ever.
Privacy Policy for LocalAI Translator
This Privacy Policy describes how LocalAI Translator ("we", "our", or "the App") handles your information. We are deeply committed to protecting your privacy — it is a core design principle, not an afterthought.
The Core Principle: No Data Collection
What We Do NOT Collect
- No text you type, paste, or translate
- No images or photos you use for OCR or analysis
- No audio or voice recordings
- No AI chat conversations or messages
- No usage statistics or analytics
- No crash reports or error logs sent to servers
- No device identifiers or advertising IDs
- No location data
- No personal information of any kind
On-Device AI Processing
All translation, OCR (image text extraction), speech recognition, and AI chat are performed locally on your device using the downloaded Gemma 3 AI model. No internet connection is required for any AI feature after the initial model download.
Processed locally — never sent anywhere
Images analyzed on-device, nothing uploaded
Voice stays on your device, no cloud STT
Conversations private, on-device only
Local Storage
Translation history, chat history, and app preferences are stored locally on your device only. This data is never transmitted to any server and remains entirely under your control. You can clear this data at any time through the app settings or by uninstalling the app.
Internet Connection
An internet connection is only required for:
- Downloading the AI model (one-time, approximately 3.2–4.3 GB over Wi-Fi)
- Processing Google Play In-App Purchase subscriptions (handled entirely by Google)
After the model download, every AI feature — translation, image analysis, speech, and chat — works completely offline.
Google Play Purchases
If you choose to purchase a Pro subscription, the transaction is handled entirely by Google Play. We do not receive or store your payment information. Google's privacy policy governs these transactions. No subscription purchase is required to use the app — a free tier is available.
Third-Party Services
Children's Privacy
Since we do not collect any user data, LocalAI Translator is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Security
Since all AI processing happens on-device and no data is transmitted to external servers, your translations, conversations, and personal information are protected by your device's own security features (screen lock, encryption, etc.).
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
