Summary

HandyXlate is designed to translate on-screen text on Android.

By default, we do not upload or store your screenshots. We only process text recognized by OCR for translation.

What data we process

OCR text: text recognized from a single captured frame, used to request a translation.

Dictionary AI Explain (optional): if you tap AI Explain, we send the selected lemma or raw token and an optional context sentence to generate the explanation. We do not upload screenshots for this feature.

Subscriptions (optional): Premium entitlement is verified with Google Play Billing and a Google Play purchaseToken.

Identifiers and support data: we process an install-level deviceId, your optional email address, and minimal diagnostics when you contact support or submit a ticket.

Basic diagnostics: minimal technical information (e.g., error messages) for reliability, without intentionally collecting the recognized text in logs.

Feedback (optional): if you submit a ticket, we receive your message, optional email, and minimal technical diagnostics (e.g., app/device version, permission state, recent requestIds). We do not upload log files.

Subscriptions and ads

The app includes Google Play Billing for Premium subscriptions.

The app bundle also includes ad SDKs, but ads are off by default in the current release.

If ads are enabled in a future release or via remote configuration, we will show consent/privacy choices where required by law or platform rules.

Premium users stay ad-free.

What we do NOT do

We do not upload or store screenshots by default.

We do not require Android Accessibility Service permissions.

Third‑party services

Translations may be fulfilled by third‑party providers. Providers may change over time for quality and reliability, but the principle remains: only OCR text is sent for translation.

Limitations (FLAG_SECURE)

Some apps use FLAG_SECURE to block screen capture. In those cases, HandyXlate may not be able to recognize text from the screen.
