Privacy Policy.

Last updated: October 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Middle English Translator ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use this website (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

We aim to collect as little information as possible. Specifically:

  • Text you translate. Translation happens entirely in your browser. The text you enter into the translator is processed on your device and is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
  • Local storage. We store your theme preference (light or dark) in your browser's local storage. This stays on your device and is not shared with us.
  • Contact information. If you email us or use the contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you choose to provide.
  • Technical data. Like most websites, our hosting provider may log standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested for security and reliability purposes.

2. How we use information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
  • To respond to your enquiries, feedback, and support requests.
  • To protect the Service against abuse, fraud, and security threats.
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. Cookies and local storage

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. We use your browser's local storage only to remember your display preference. You can clear this at any time through your browser settings without affecting your ability to use the Service.

4. Third-party services

We may use third-party providers for website hosting and for serving web fonts (for example, Google Fonts). These providers may receive your IP address as part of delivering their services. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Data retention

Because we do not store the text you translate, there is nothing to retain there. Correspondence you send us is kept only as long as needed to handle your request and for legitimate record-keeping, after which it is deleted.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

7. Children's privacy

The Service is suitable for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the Service. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
