Effective date: March 7, 2026

ClipDock Translate respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data ClipDock Translate for macOS (“App”) may process, why, and your choices.

Who we are

App name: ClipDock Translate

Contact: clipdoc.support@gmail.com

What the App does

ClipDock Translate provides translation-related tools, including clipboard translation, screenshot text translation, and optional voice/text features.

Data we process

Depending on how you use the App, we may process:

- Text you choose to translate (for example clipboard text or text extracted from screenshots).

- Optional voice/audio input you provide for speech features.

- Basic app diagnostics needed to keep the App stable and secure.

- Subscription status and purchase information provided by Apple (we do not receive your full payment card details).

Permissions

Depending on the features you use, the App may request:

- Microphone and Speech Recognition access for voice input features.

- Screen Recording access for screenshot text capture.

- Internet access for translation and related features.

How data is used

We use data only to:

- Provide requested features (translation, alternatives, related functions).

- Improve reliability, performance, and abuse prevention.

- Manage subscriptions and entitlement checks via Apple systems.

Third-party service providers

Some features rely on third-party providers, including Google and OpenAI, to process text or audio and return results.

When you use those features, relevant input may be sent to those providers for processing under their applicable terms and privacy policies.

Payments and subscriptions

All purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple through your Apple ID.

Apple may share limited subscription state with us so the App can unlock premium features.

Data retention

Translation history may be stored locally on your device.

We keep data only as long as needed for feature delivery, troubleshooting, legal obligations, and security.

Where possible, data is minimized and not retained longer than necessary.

Your choices

You can:

- Stop using specific features that require sending content to third parties.

- Manage or cancel subscriptions in Apple Account settings.

- Contact us at clipdoc.support@gmail.com with privacy requests.

Children’s privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

International processing

Depending on providers used, data may be processed in countries outside your residence.

We take reasonable steps to use reputable providers and protect data during transfer.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data.

No system is 100% secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Material updates will be reflected by a new “Effective date” on this page.
