Privacy Policy

1. No User Accounts or Personal Data Collection

Because translate.lk operates strictly as a free language translation web tool without user logins, registration, or accounts, we do not collect personal identification information such as your name, physical address, phone number, or payment details.

Furthermore, we do not permanently store, save, or archive the texts or documents you input into our interface for translation. All processing is transient and used solely to generate the translation output for your immediate session.

2. Log Files

translate.lk follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes:

• Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
• Browser type and version
• Internet Service Provider (ISP)
• Date and time stamp
• Referring/exit pages
• The number of clicks during a session

These data points are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The sole purpose of this data is to analyze systemic trends, administer the site, track user movement across the website interface, and prevent malicious automated abuse (DDoS attacks or bot flooding).

3. Google AdSense and Third-Party Cookies

To keep our tool free, translate.lk partners with third-party vendors, primarily Google AdSense, to display advertisements on the site.

• Personalized Advertising: Google and other third-party ad networks use cookies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to translate.lk or other websites on the internet.
• The DoubleClick DART Cookie: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to translate.lk and other sites on the Internet.
• Opting Out: Users may choose to opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

4. Our Advertising Partners & Web Beacons

Some of the advertisers on our site may use cookies and web beacons. Our primary advertising partner is Google AdSense. Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are embedded within their respective advertisements and links appearing on translate.lk, which are sent directly to users' browsers.

When this occurs, they automatically receive your IP address. These technologies are utilized by the ad networks to measure the overall effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.

Please note that translate.lk has no access to or control over these cookies that are utilized by third-party advertisers.

5. Third-Party Privacy Policies

translate.lk's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.
