PRIVACY BY PRACTICE
Before you paste: a translation privacy checklist
Know which tool processes your text and decide what should stay out of it.
Identify the processing route
Different tools move information differently. PhraseLane sends a cloud translation request to its Cloudflare Worker and Workers AI. Voice input may be processed by your browser provider. Reading aloud depends on the voices available in your browser or operating system. The local subtitle maker formats text in the page.
Remove secrets and unnecessary details
Do not paste passwords, authentication codes, payment card details or documents that you are not authorised to share. For an ordinary customer message, replace names and account references before translation when they are not needed for meaning. Keep your original in the system where it belongs.
Understand what we retain
The application does not intentionally store translation input, translation output or raw audio in its database. It does store account identifiers, hashed access keys and usage counters where those features are used. Cloudflare and browser providers may process technical data under their own policies. No claim of total anonymity or end-to-end encryption is made.
Remember shared devices
Your signed-in account uses a secure session cookie. Sign out when using a shared computer. Your account recovery key is a credential: anyone with it can restore access, so keep it in a password manager and do not include it in a translation. The tool does not automatically save that key to local storage.
Use a specialist route for sensitive work
Some information belongs in an approved organisational translation workflow. Check your employer’s or client’s requirements before handling confidential material. If you need a contractual data-processing agreement, regulated-document workflow or certified translation, do not assume this public beta provides it. Contact the operator with questions before sending the material.
