We collect the minimum data necessary to provide the service:

• API keys — stored as irreversible hashes. The raw key is never stored after initial generation.

3. What we do not collect

We do not store the content of your localization files. Your strings are sent to your chosen AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) for translation and are not retained on our servers after the request completes. We do not use your content to train models.
