ClickFluent Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us

← Back to home

Effective date: March 6, 2026

ClickFluent ("we", "our", or "us") is a Chrome browser extension that helps users learn languages by translating selected text on webpages and building a personal vocabulary. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

By installing and using ClickFluent, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please uninstall the extension and delete your account.

Data We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account via Google Sign-In, we collect:

User-Selected Text

When you select text on a webpage and request a translation, that selected text is sent to our server for processing. We do not store the raw text you select. The text is forwarded to our translation service, and only the translated result is returned to you. If you choose to save a word to your vocabulary, the original text, its translation, and the surrounding context sentence are stored in your account.

Saved Vocabulary

When you save a word, we store:

Usage Analytics

We track basic usage metrics tied to your account to power features like streaks and progress tracking:

These metrics are displayed to you in your Settings page. We do not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Payment Information

Payments are processed entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your credit card number or payment details. We only store a Stripe customer ID and your subscription status to manage your plan.

Local Storage

The extension stores the following data locally on your device using Chrome's storage API:

This data is stored only on your device and is cleared when you delete your account or uninstall the extension.

How We Use Your Data

Data Purpose
Email & name Account creation and identification
Language preferences Providing translations in the correct language pair
Selected text Generating translations (not stored)
Saved vocabulary Powering your personal vocabulary list and spaced-repetition review
Usage metrics Displaying your progress and enforcing daily usage limits
Stripe customer ID Managing your subscription

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

ClickFluent uses the following third-party services to operate:

Service Purpose Data Shared
Google OAuth Account authentication Your Google name and email (read once at sign-up)
OpenAI Translation and text-to-speech The text you select for translation; your language preferences
Stripe Payment processing Your email address; all payment card data is handled solely by Stripe

Each service operates under its own privacy policy:

Chrome Extension Permissions

ClickFluent requests the following browser permissions:

Permission Why We Need It
activeTab To access the current page where you select text for translation
scripting To inject the translation interface into webpages
storage To save your authentication tokens and preferences locally
identity To initiate Google Sign-In
contextMenus To add a right-click "Translate with ClickFluent" option
webNavigation To restore translation state when you navigate between pages

The extension's content script runs on webpages you visit but does not passively read or collect page content. It only processes text that you explicitly select and choose to translate.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from the Settings page within the extension. When you delete your account:

Account deletion is immediate and irreversible.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, including:

Children's Privacy

ClickFluent is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the extension or by updating the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of ClickFluent after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
