PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: November 24, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how 2705463 ONTARIO INC. (“ThePureLanguage,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information in connection with the website www.thepurelanguage.com (the “Website”) and the translation features and services (the “Service”). By accessing or using the Website or Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website and Service.

1. Scope of this Policy

  • Visitors who browse the Website
  • Users who access translation tools
  • Users who submit text for translation
  • Users who contact us via email or forms

This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, platforms, or services that we do not control.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Text you submit for translation (processed temporarily; see Section 8)
  • Email address and name (if you contact us)
  • Any information you voluntarily provide in communications

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

  • IP address
  • Device type and operating system
  • Browser type and configuration
  • Pages viewed and interaction data
  • Time zone and language settings
  • Referring URLs

2.3 Do Not Track (DNT)

We do not respond to browser “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. Users may manage privacy preferences through our consent banner (CMP).

2.4 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We do not set cookies from thepurelanguage.com itself. However, because we display advertisements using Google AdSense/Ads, Google may set cookies or use device identifiers to enable ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention. We do not use Google Analytics or YouTube embeds on the Website.

Certain regions (EU/EEA, UK, Switzerland, Québec) require user consent for non-essential cookies. When applicable, we present a consent banner (CMP). Non-essential cookies and personalized advertising are used only where a user has provided explicit consent.

3. Purposes for Collecting and Using Information

We process data for the following purposes:

  • Providing translation functionality
  • Improving accuracy through caching of translation outputs (output only)
  • Operating and maintaining the Website
  • Ensuring security and fraud prevention
  • Service optimization
  • Complying with legal obligations
  • Running advertising (Google Ads / AdSense)

We do not sell personal data.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR / UK GDPR / ePrivacy)

For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and similar jurisdictions, we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Consent — for non-essential cookies, personalized advertising, and any processing requiring explicit opt-in.
  • Legitimate Interests — for basic ad delivery, fraud prevention, measurement, and service security where appropriate.
  • Performance of a Contract — to provide translation services requested by the user.
  • Legal Obligations — when required to retain records or respond to lawful requests.

Our CMP allows users in regulated regions to review and update their consent and Legitimate Interest preferences at any time.

5. Third-Party Translation Services (Microsoft Azure Translator)

5.1 Data Processing by Microsoft

To provide automated translation, we use Microsoft Azure Translator as a fallback when requested text is not available in our proprietary dictionary.

  • Your submitted text is transmitted securely to Microsoft’s servers for processing.
  • For text translation: Microsoft does not store customer text or use it to train AI models for most synchronous text translation operations.
  • For document or asynchronous operations: text may be temporarily stored for up to 48 hours for reliability and debugging.
  • All transmission is encrypted; temporary data is accessible only to authorized personnel under strict controls.

Microsoft Data Privacy

Refer to Microsoft’s documentation for current details on data handling:

5.2 Caching Policy

  • We cache only translation outputs returned by Microsoft for up to 60 days.
  • We do not permanently store original user input or sensitive identifiable content.
  • Translations sourced from Microsoft are marked with a cloud icon where shown in the UI.

6. Google Services, Advertising & Cookies (GDPR / LI)

We use Google AdSense/Ads to display advertisements. Google may collect cookies, device identifiers, usage data, IP address and browser metadata, and ad interaction and measurement data. Personalized ads are served only with users' explicit consent in regulated regions.

  • Legitimate Interest purposes may be enabled for basic ad delivery, frequency capping, measurement, and fraud prevention where permitted by law.
  • Consent or Legitimate Interest status is communicated to Google and other advertising partners via our CMP.

Cross-Border Transfers:
Google and Microsoft may process data in the United States and other countries. Data transferred outside the EU/EEA, UK, or Switzerland is protected using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, alongside Google’s or Microsoft’s supplemental commitments and technical safeguards (encryption, access controls), to provide GDPR-level protection.

Controller / Processor Roles:

  • Google Ads / AdSense: independent data controller for its ad processing and targeting functions.
  • Microsoft Azure Translator: data processor acting on our behalf for translation processing.

Personalized ads are shown only when the user explicitly consents in regulated regions. Users may manage ad preferences via our CMP and at Google Ads Settings.

Our CMP follows the IAB Europe TCF guidelines for communicating consent and Legitimate Interest signals to advertising vendors.

7. Automated Decision-Making & Profiling

We use automated systems to generate translations, display contextual or (where consent is given) personalized ads, and detect/prevent fraud or invalid traffic.

  • We do not make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on users.
  • In regulated regions (EU/EEA, UK, Switzerland, Québec), we do not profile or use personalized advertising or analytics unless the user has explicitly consented via the consent banner. If the user declines consent, ads are strictly contextual and profiling does not occur.

8. Data Retention

  • Translation input text: retained only during processing and not permanently stored by ThePureLanguage.
  • Microsoft temporary storage (when used): up to 48 hours.
  • Cached translation outputs: up to 60 days.
  • Log data (server and security logs): retained up to 12 months.
  • Emails: retained as needed for administration, then archived or deleted.
  • Cookies and advertising identifiers: retained per the vendor's expiration policy.

Google may use data as an independent controller for its advertising optimization and measurement purposes.

9. Data Sharing and Disclosure

  • Microsoft Corporation – translation processing (processor).
  • Google – advertising (independent controller for ads).
  • Hosting and infrastructure partners (e.g., Azure or hosting provider).
  • Professional advisors (legal, accounting).
  • Regulators or authorities when required by law.

We do not sell personal information. Each vendor relationship is governed by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) where required by law. Where applicable, DPAs with Microsoft and our hosting providers ensure GDPR-compliant processing and confidentiality obligations.

10. International Data Transfers

Data may be processed in the U.S., Canada, EU, or other regions. Transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and appropriate technical safeguards (for example, encryption in transit and at rest). We conduct Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) where required to evaluate risks and supplemental safeguards.

11. Cookie Policy (Summary)

ThePureLanguage.com does not set cookies of its own. Because we display ads with Google AdSense/Ads, Google may set cookies or use device identifiers for ad delivery, fraud prevention, and measurement. These cookies and identifiers are controlled by Google.

Consent:

  • In GDPR-regulated regions and Québec, our CMP displays a consent banner. Non-essential cookies (including personalized ads) are used only after explicit consent.
  • If you decline consent, ads will be non-personalized and profiling will not occur.

Manage ad preferences via our CMP or at Google Ads Settings.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Because we do not create user accounts, collect age information, or track users across the Website by default, we generally cannot identify who used the Service unless you provide additional information that allows us to verify your identity. Depending on your location, you may still have certain privacy rights that apply to the limited data we process (for example: temporary server logs or short fragments of cached translation output).

GDPR / UK GDPR / Switzerland

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we may hold.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  • Restrict or object to processing (including processing based on legitimate interests).
  • Request data portability where applicable.
  • File a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

We will respond to verified requests within 30 days. Because we do not maintain long-term, account-linked records by default, we may require additional information to verify your identity and determine whether we hold any data tied to you.

Canada (PIPEDA & Québec Law 25)

Canadian residents have the right to:

  • Access any personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request a list of third parties to whom your data may have been disclosed (e.g., hosting providers).
  • Request cessation of dissemination where applicable under Québec Law 25.
  • File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Because we do not associate data with persistent user identities by default, some requests (for example, deletion of account-linked data) may not be applicable unless you provide details enabling us to locate relevant records.

California (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have the right to:

  • Know the categories of personal information we collect and the categories of recipients with whom it is shared.
  • Request deletion of personal information that we maintain about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
  • Limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information.
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

We do not sell personal information. Limited sharing for advertising purposes may occur when serving ads through Google. Because we do not maintain persistent consumer profiles or accounts, and because Google provides its own opt-out tools, we do not host a separate “Do Not Sell or Share” link on the Website.

How to submit a request: To exercise any of the rights above, please contact our Data Protection Officer at thepurelanguagecom@gmail.com. Include sufficient information for us to locate the data (for example, the approximate date and time you used the Service, any text you submitted, or the email address used when contacting us). We will verify your identity before responding to rights requests. Where identity cannot be reasonably verified or where no data associated with you can be located, we will explain why the request cannot be fulfilled.

If we deny your request, you may appeal the decision by replying to our response email with the word APPEAL in the subject line. We provide alternative accessible formats of this Privacy Policy upon request for individuals with disabilities.

13. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended for individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. Because we do not collect age data, we generally cannot identify or delete information specific to underage users unless a requester provides sufficient information to locate relevant logs. If you believe we have collected data from a minor, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to address the request. This Site is not directed to children and is not intended to be a child-directed service; COPPA is not applicable here.

14. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, secure hosting, access controls, and monitoring. While we strive to protect your data, no security measure is perfect or impenetrable.

15. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Material changes affecting your rights will be communicated to you where feasible.
