Publisher: Smarty Labs
Last Updated: March 2026
1. Introduction
Chatlator – Translate Keyboard ("the App", "we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting user information.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be processed when you use the Chatlator mobile application available on the Google Play Store.
The application may be used globally, including in regions such as the United States, the European Union, and other countries. We aim to follow applicable privacy practices including Google Play Developer Policies and widely accepted privacy standards.
By installing or using the application, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
2. How the App Works
Chatlator is a translation application designed to help users translate text while typing or communicating across different applications.
The app provides features such as:
- real-time text translation
- keyboard translation while typing
- translation between multiple languages
- camera translation for text in images
- translation history storage
- language detection tools
The application may operate as a custom keyboard input method, allowing users to translate text directly while typing in supported applications.
Translation functionality may involve sending text entered by the user to secure translation service APIs in order to return translated results.
3. Information Collected
Chatlator is designed to minimize data collection. Most features operate directly on the user's device.
Text Entered Through Keyboard
When the Chatlator keyboard is enabled, text entered by the user may be processed to generate translation results.
To provide translation functionality, text entered by the user may be transmitted to translation service APIs in order to generate translated content.
This text is used only for the translation request.
The developer does not store keyboard input or personal messages on developer servers.
Translation History
The application may store translation history locally on the user's device to allow users to review previous translations.
Users may delete translation history from within the application at any time.
Translation history is not stored on developer servers.
Camera Translation Data
When using the camera translation feature, images captured by the device camera may be processed to detect and translate text.
Images are processed only for translation functionality and are not stored on developer servers.
Device and Technical Information
Third-party analytics services may collect limited technical information including:
- device model
- operating system version
- application version
- crash reports
- general usage statistics
This information helps improve application performance and stability.
Advertising Identifiers
Advertising services used in the application may process identifiers such as:
- Google Advertising ID
These identifiers may be used to display relevant advertisements.
Users can manage advertising identifiers through device settings.
4. Android Permissions Used
The application may request certain Android permissions required for its functionality.
Keyboard / Input Method Permission
Required to enable the Chatlator keyboard so users can translate text while typing in other apps.
Camera Permission
Required for the camera translation feature.
Internet Access
Required to process translation requests, connect to translation services, load advertisements, and support analytics services.
Storage Permission
May be used to store translation history locally on the device.
Users may delete stored data at any time.
5. Keyboard Data Processing Explanation
When Chatlator is enabled as the device keyboard:
- text entered by the user is processed to generate translation results
- translation requests may send text to translation service APIs
- keyboard input is not stored by the developer
Keyboard processing occurs only when the keyboard is actively used.
Users may disable the Chatlator keyboard at any time through device settings.
6. Keyboard Security and Sensitive Information
Because Chatlator operates as a keyboard input method, Android may display a system notice indicating that third-party keyboards may collect typed text.
Chatlator is designed with privacy in mind and does not collect or store sensitive information such as:
- passwords
- credit card numbers
- authentication codes
- personal conversations
- private messages
Chatlator does not log keystrokes or maintain a database of typed text.
Text entered through the keyboard is processed only to generate translation results.
If users are entering highly sensitive information such as passwords or payment details, they may switch to their device’s default keyboard.
Users remain responsible for deciding when to enable or disable the Chatlator keyboard.
7. Local Device Processing
Most processing performed by Chatlator occurs directly on the user's device.
Examples include:
- translation history storage
- keyboard settings
- language preferences
This information remains on the user's device unless deleted by the user.
8. Third-Party Services
Chatlator may use trusted third-party services including:
- Google AdMob (advertising services)
- Firebase Analytics (application analytics)
- Firebase Crashlytics (crash diagnostics)
- Google Play Services
- translation service APIs
These services may process limited technical information according to their own privacy policies.
9. Advertising Disclosure
The application may display advertisements to support free access to the service.
Advertising partners may use limited device identifiers to deliver relevant advertisements.
Users may manage advertising preferences through their device settings.
10. Data Retention
Chatlator does not maintain servers that store keyboard input or personal messages.
Translation history stored by the application remains on the user's device until deleted by the user.
Analytics providers may retain aggregated technical information according to their own policies.
11. User Privacy Rights
Because most processing occurs locally on the user's device and the developer does not maintain personal user accounts:
- users can delete translation history within the app
- users can disable keyboard permissions at any time
- users can uninstall the application to remove locally stored data
Users who have privacy questions may contact the developer using the contact information provided below.
12. Children's Policy
The application is not intended for children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information, they may contact us to request removal.
13. Legal Disclaimer
Chatlator is an independent software application.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the application is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any messaging platforms, translation providers, or third-party services.
All trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
