Privacy Policy

Last updated September 23, 2025


tldr; we don't store any personally identifiable information and we don't store translation texts on our servers. We don't care to know who you are or what you are translating. We do temporarily record IP addresses (for 2 days) and associated API keys for preventing abuse. This information could be tied back to you via Stripe, which collects some information like e-mail when and if you purchase an API key. Read the Stripe Privacy Policy for information on how they store your payment information.


This Privacy Notice for LibreTranslate ("we," "us," or "our") describes how and why we might access, collect, store, use, and/or share ("process") your personal information when you use our services ("Services") on libretranslate.com and related subdomains, or when you contact us.

Questions or concerns? Reading this Privacy Notice will help you understand your privacy rights and choices. We are responsible for making decisions about how your personal information is processed. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Services. If you still have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

1. What Information Do We Collect?

We don't collect any personal information, except the personal information that you might voluntarily provide to us when you contact us.

We do not store or log translation texts.

Sensitive Information

We do not store sensitive information. Payment information is stored by Stripe.

2. How Do We Process Your Information?

We process the information you might provide to Stripe to administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law and for nothing else.

3. When And With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?

We do not share your personal information.

4. Do We Use Cookies And Other Tracking Technologies?

We don't use tracking technologies. We may use cookies to store authentication data or for fraud detection purposes.

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an active API Key with us.

6. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we receive. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information when you contact us is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

7. Do We Collect Information From Minors?

No. We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the API Key and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us.

8. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

Withdrawing your consent: if we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "How Can You Contact Us?" below.

However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may contact us.
