Privacy Policy

Langladder rewrites the webpages you already read into your target language at your chosen level. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We try to collect as little as possible.

What we collect

• Account information. When you create an account we store your email address and name, and a securely hashed password. If you sign in through a third-party account, we receive basic profile information (such as your name, email, and avatar) from that provider instead of a password.
• Page text you choose to translate. When you translate a page, the visible text on that page is sent to our servers and to our AI provider to produce the rewrite. We use it only to generate that translation and do not store the page contents afterward.
• Words you save. Vocabulary you save for review — the word, its definition, the surrounding sentence, and the target language and level — is stored in your account so you can review it later.
• Operational data. We keep limited request metadata (such as counts used to enforce rate limits) needed to run the service reliably and prevent abuse.

How we use your information

• To translate and define the pages and words you ask us to.
• To store and schedule the vocabulary you save for review.
• To authenticate you and keep you signed in across the web app and the browser extension.
• To send transactional email such as address verification and password resets.
• To secure the service, prevent abuse, and fix problems.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your saved words or browsing to serve advertising.

Service providers

We rely on a small number of providers to operate Langladder, who handle data only to provide their service to us:

• AI language-model providers — generate translations and definitions from the text you submit.
• Cloud infrastructure and email providers — hosting, database, and email delivery.
• Identity providers — only if you choose to sign in with a third-party account.

The browser extension

The extension runs only on the pages you point it at and only when you ask it to translate or look up a word. It does not read your browsing history. It stores a session token locally in your browser so it can talk to your account; signing out of the extension clears it.

Data retention & your choices

We keep your account and saved words until you delete them or close your account. You can delete saved cards from the web app at any time. To delete your account or request a copy of your data, email us at the address below.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit, passwords are hashed, and every request is scoped to the signed-in account so your data is only ever accessible to you. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.

Children

Langladder is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above, and significant changes will be communicated where appropriate.
