Chinese Name Translation ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our name translation service available at chinesenametranslator.online (the "Service").
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
Privacy-First Approach
We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any of your personal names or translation data to our servers.All translation history is stored locally in your browser only.
We specifically do NOT collect:

- Translation results or history
- Personal identification information
- User accounts or registration data
- Email addresses or contact information
- Location data or IP addresses for tracking
3. How Our Service Works
3.1 Translation Process: When you submit a name for translation, it is sent securely to our AI translation service for processing. The translation result is returned to your browser and displayed to you.
3.2 Local Storage Only: Your translation history (up to 3 recent translations) is saved locally in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device.
3.3 No Server-Side Storage: We do not store any translation data on our servers. Each translation request is processed in real-time and not retained.

We may collect minimal, anonymous technical information to maintain and improve our service:
- Usage Statistics: Anonymous counts of translation requests to monitor service load
- Error Logs: Technical error information to improve service reliability (no personal content)
