Privacy policy

BarTranslate is built by Thijmen Dam as an open-source application. This policy explains how data is handled when you use it.

Data we collect

None. BarTranslate does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The app has no analytics, tracking, or telemetry, and no accounts, servers, or databases.

Your settings (such as your preferred hotkey and icon style) are stored locally on your device and are never sent anywhere.

Third-party services
