Privacy Policy

Privacy, by architecture.

Last updated: July 5, 2026

LangsAny translates in your browser, not on a server. This policy is short because the honest answer to “what do you do with my text?” is: nothing — we never receive it.

No text upload

Translation runs on your device. Your text is never sent to our servers.

No accounts

No signup, no login, no personal profile. We don’t know who you are.

Content never tracked

Analytics only measure page visits. What you translate is never part of any event.

01

What we do not collect

Because the translation engine runs entirely in your browser, we do not collect, store, log, or process:

  • Your translation content — neither the text you type nor the translated results
  • Personal information such as your name, email address, or any account data
  • Any identifier that links translations to you as an individual

You can verify this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network tab, and translate something. No request carrying your text will appear.

02

What stays on your device

To make the service work, your browser stores a few things locally — on your device only:

  • Translation models: downloaded once from a public model CDN and cached in your browser's Cache Storage so translation works offline. You can view and delete them any time via the settings (gear) icon in the header.
  • An offline copy of the site: a service worker caches the pages and assets you have visited, so langsany.com opens and translates without a connection.
  • Preferences: your chosen source/target languages and recently used languages, kept in localStorage.

Clearing your browser's site data removes all of it. Nothing is mirrored on our side.

03

Model downloads

The first time you translate a language pair, your browser fetches an open-source translation model from a public content delivery network (currently the Hugging Face CDN). That request contains the model's file name — never your text — and is subject to the CDN operator's privacy policy. Once cached, no further downloads are needed.

04

Browser built-in translation

In some browsers (such as recent versions of Chrome), LangsAny uses the browser's own built-in, on-device translation AI when it is available. In that case translation is handled locally by your browser itself, managed under your browser vendor's privacy terms — your text still never reaches our servers.

05

Analytics

We use two analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic:

  • Plausible Analytics — a privacy-friendly tool that uses no cookies, collects no personal data, and cannot identify or follow individual visitors across sites.
  • Google Analytics (GA4) — measures page views and visit patterns using cookies and device identifiers. This data is processed by Google under its own privacy policy; you can opt out with Google's browser add-on or by blocking analytics in your browser.

One line matters more than the tool list: your translation content is never part of any analytics event. Analytics see that a page was visited — never what you typed, translated, or downloaded.

06

Advertising

LangsAny is free and supported by advertising. We display ads served by third-party ad networks (currently Adsterra). These networks may use cookies or similar technologies inside their ad frames to measure and serve ads, under their own privacy policies.

We do not pass any personal data, translation content, or usage history to advertisers — we have none to pass.

07

Server logs

Like virtually every website, our web server processes standard HTTP request metadata (IP address, user agent, requested page) to deliver pages and protect against abuse. These logs are not linked to any identity, are not used for profiling, and are not retained long-term.

08

Children

LangsAny does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children. Since the service requires no account and collects no personal data, there is no mechanism by which a child's personal information could be gathered.

09

Changes to this policy

If we change how the service works in a way that affects privacy — for example, adding an optional account system — we will update this page and its “last updated” date before the change takes effect. The core promise will not change: translation happens on your device.
