Privacy Policy

Data stored on your device

The app stores your projects, imported or captured page images, edited images, translation results, provider settings, usage estimates, exported files, and downloaded offline assets on your device. API keys are stored using platform secure storage.

Backup and sync

If you enable backup, the app can store a backup of your projects, page images, translation results, prompt templates, source links, usage estimates, and selected settings in your own iCloud Drive app container on iOS or Google Drive appDataFolder on Android. Provider API keys are not included in backups.

Downloaded Sefaria libraries, OCR data, local model files, temporary optimized images, and exported documents are not included in cloud backups because they can be re-downloaded or recreated.

Data sent to translation providers

When you choose an online translation provider, the app sends the page image, OCR text if available, prompt text, and related translation instructions directly from your device to the provider you selected. This may include Claude, Gemini, or OpenAI depending on your settings. The app does not operate its own backend server for these translation requests.

Each provider processes data according to its own privacy policy and terms. You should only translate material you are comfortable sending to the provider you configure.

Global Library contributions

Global Library publishing is optional. If you choose to contribute, the app submits text-only project translations, tags, source references, a generated contributor username, and coarse country or region information for private review. Original scans, API keys, local file paths, precise location, downloaded models, and backup ZIPs are not published.

Approved contributions may become publicly browsable. Contributors can unpublish their own submissions, and readers can report approved submissions from inside the app.

Offline mode

Downloaded Sefaria libraries, OCR data, and local model files are stored on your device. Offline translation and lookup features are designed to run locally when supported by the installed assets and model.

No account required

The app does not require you to create an account to use local projects. Provider API keys are entered by you and remain on your device unless you use them to call the selected provider. Global Library contribution uses an anonymous contributor session and generated username.

Analytics and tracking

The app does not include third-party advertising tracking. Usage and cost estimates shown inside the app are calculated for your visibility and stored locally.

Exports and sharing

When you export or share translations, exported files are handled by iOS, Android, macOS, or the apps and services you choose from the share sheet. Review the destination before sharing.

Children

The app is intended for general study use and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
