2. What We Collect (And What We Don't)

We keep data collection super simple. Here's exactly what happens when you use our translator:

What We DON'T Collect

• Your name or email address
• Your personal messages or private text
• Your location or address
• Your phone number
• Any passwords or login info
• Your social media accounts

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data for three simple reasons:

4. How Long We Keep Your Data

We don't hoard your information. Here's our simple data timeline:

• Your Translation Text: Deleted immediately after translation - We process your modern English input, show you the Old English result, then delete your original text. We don't need to keep it.
• Usage Statistics: Kept for 12 months - We keep anonymous usage data for one year to spot trends and improve our translator. After 12 months, we delete it.
• Technical Logs: Kept for 30 days - Server logs help us fix technical problems. We automatically delete logs after 30 days to protect your privacy.

5. Legal Stuff (GDPR Article 6)

If you're in Europe, GDPR gives you extra privacy rights. Here's our legal basis for processing your data:

• Legitimate Interest: We process your translation requests because you want to use our Old English translator. This is our legitimate business interest. You came to our website to translate modern English to Old English. Processing your text is necessary to give you what you asked for.
• Performance of Service: When you use our free translator tool, we need to process your text to provide the service you requested. You can't get Old English translations without us processing your modern English input. It's like asking for directions - we need to know where you want to go.

6. Your Privacy Rights

You have control over your data. Here's what you can do:

• Access Your Data: Ask us what data we have about you. Since we don't store your translations, there probably isn't much to see. Email us and we'll tell you exactly what we know.
• Delete Your Data: Ask us to delete any data we have about you. We'll remove everything except what we legally need to keep. Contact us and we'll delete your information within 30 days.
• Stop Processing: Ask us to stop processing your data. Keep in mind this means you won't be able to use our translator anymore. Email us and we'll stop processing your future requests.
• Fix Wrong Data: If we have incorrect information about you, ask us to fix it. Though since we don't store personal info, this rarely applies. Let us know what's wrong and we'll correct it.
• Move Your Data: Ask for a copy of your data in a standard format. You can then take it to another service if you want. We'll export whatever data we have in a readable format.

7. AI and Automated Decisions

Our Old English translator uses AI, but it doesn't make decisions about you as a person:

Our AI only decides how to translate your modern English text into Old English words. It doesn't profile you, score you, or make judgments about you. The AI just looks at your text and finds the best Anglo-Saxon equivalent. You're always in control of what you translate and can ignore our suggestions anytime.

8. Cookies and Website Analytics

We use minimal tracking to keep our translator running smoothly:

Your Control: You can block cookies in your browser settings. But some features might not work properly without essential cookies.

9. Children's Privacy

We welcome young medieval language enthusiasts, but we protect their privacy extra carefully:

AI OE is safe for children to use for school projects and learning about Old English. We don't knowingly collect personal information from kids under 13. If you're a parent and think we accidentally collected your child's data, please contact us immediately. We'll delete it right away.

For Teachers: Teachers can safely use our translator in classrooms to help students learn about Anglo-Saxon history and medieval literature like Beowulf.

10. International Data Transfers

Our servers are located in different countries, but we protect your data everywhere:

AI OE uses cloud servers that might be located outside your country. When you use our translator, your data might travel to these servers for processing. We only work with hosting providers that meet strict security standards and comply with international privacy laws.

Protection: All data transfers are encrypted and protected. Your translation requests are processed securely no matter where our servers are located.

11. How We Protect Your Data

We take security seriously, even for a free Old English translator:

• Encryption: All data between your browser and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS. This means nobody can intercept your translations.
• Secure Servers: Our servers are protected with firewalls, regular security updates, and access controls. Only authorized team members can access them.
• Regular Monitoring: We monitor our systems 24/7 for security threats and unusual activity. If something looks suspicious, we investigate immediately.
• Data Minimization: We only collect and keep the minimum data needed to run our translator. Less data means less risk if something goes wrong.

12. Third-Party Services We Use

We work with a few trusted partners to keep AI OE running:

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Sometimes we need to update this privacy policy to reflect new features or legal requirements. When we make important changes, we'll post the new version on this page and update the 'Last Updated' date at the top. For major changes that affect how we handle your data, we'll also add a notice on our main translator page.
