This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how ValentineOS ("we", "us", "our", or the "Developer") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the Atom Translate application ("the App") on Android and iOS. By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the App.
The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Atom Translate lets you choose a translation provider in Settings. Depending on your selection, text is processed as follows:
| Provider | How your text is processed |
|---|---|
| Public third-party API (currently the default) | The App currently uses the MyMemory translation API, operated by Translated S.r.l. (Italy). The text you translate is sent to their servers and processed under their own terms and privacy practices, over which we have no control. This provider is used during the App's current phase and may be replaced by self-hosted engines in future versions. |
| Self-hosted engines (where available) | Translation runs on servers operated privately by the Developer. Text is used only to return a translation and is not used for advertising or profiling. |
| Manual mode | No text is sent to any translation service; you type the translation yourself. |
You control which provider is active and can switch to manual mode at any time to avoid sending text to any external translation service.
Speech-to-text and text-to-speech rely on the speech services built into your device's operating system (for example, Apple, Google, or Microsoft). This processing is governed by your device provider's privacy policy. We do not store your voice recordings on our servers.
To operate the App, we use the following third-party providers, each acting under its own privacy policy:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Authentication, database, and file storage (avatars and word images). See Supabase Privacy Policy. |
| Google (Sign-in / OAuth) | Optional account sign-in. See Google Privacy Policy. |
| Translated S.r.l. (MyMemory) | Automatic translation, as described in Section 4. |
| Apple / Google / Microsoft | App distribution and operating-system speech services on their respective platforms. |
These providers are independent third parties. We are not responsible for their data-handling practices, and your use of their services is subject to their respective terms and policies.
If you create an account, your account and synchronized data are stored using Supabase on secure cloud infrastructure. If you do not sign in, your data remains only in a local database on your device and is not transmitted to us.
We share information only in these limited cases:
We do not sell your personal information (including as "sale" or "sharing" is defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act).
We retain account and synchronized data for as long as your account remains active. Locally stored data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize the associated personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law. Public decks previously downloaded or cloned by other users may persist as their independent copies.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under the GDPR (EU/EEA/UK), Ukraine's Law "On Personal Data Protection", or the CCPA/CPRA (California) — including rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any right, contact us at the email above; we will respond within the period required by applicable law.
Where the GDPR applies, our legal bases for processing are: performance of our contract with you (providing the App), your consent (for optional features such as automatic translation and community publishing), compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the service. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.
Because we use cloud infrastructure, your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including outside the EEA and Ukraine. Where required by law, such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards (for example, standard contractual clauses).
Data transmitted between the App and our servers is protected using standard encryption (TLS/HTTPS), and we apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Atom Translate is intended for users aged 13 and older, in part because it includes user-generated content shared through the community. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ValentineOS disclaims all warranties, express or implied, and shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App or of any third-party service integrated with it, including translation, authentication, storage, or operating-system speech services. We are not responsible for the accuracy of machine-generated translations or for content created or shared by other users. Nothing in this Policy limits any rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection or data-protection laws.
This Policy is governed by the laws of Ukraine, without prejudice to any mandatory data-protection or consumer-protection rights available to you under the laws of your country of residence.
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you within the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
