5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
Google Firebase (Analytics & Crashlytics)
Firebase collects usage analytics and crash reports on our behalf. This data is used solely to improve the app and is not shared for advertising purposes. You can learn more about how Google handles data in their Privacy Policy.
Apple App Store (In-App Purchases)
All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect, process, or store any payment or financial information. Apple's handling of payment data is governed by their Privacy Policy.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any other third parties.
6. Data Storage & Security
Your account information (name, email, language preference) is stored on our servers located in the United Kingdom. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction.
Your reading progress is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. This means reading progress does not sync across devices and will be lost if you uninstall the app or switch devices.
7. International Data Transfers
Our servers are located in the United Kingdom. If you access Tranzlaty from outside the UK, your information (name and email) will be transferred to and stored in the UK. Analytics and crash data processed by Firebase may be stored in data centres operated by Google in various locations worldwide, in accordance with Google's data processing terms.
8. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data from our servers within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it for longer.
Aggregated, anonymised analytics data that cannot be used to identify you may be retained indefinitely to help us understand long-term usage trends.
