CLEAR CHOICES, BY DESIGN
Data & privacy.
This page explains the current website and the Snap Translate implementation. Website and extension data flows are different.
This website has no account system, analytics script or advertising tracker. The contact form is a browser-only demo and does not transmit your details. The concept illustration and interactive example explain the idea. The example switches between prepared Chinese and English text inside your browser; it does not call a translation service or represent a live product result.
The Glopim website
The website does not set cookies or use local storage. Hosting infrastructure may process standard request information, such as IP addresses and browser details, to serve pages and protect the service. Hosting-provider practices apply independently of this site’s code.
Links to third-party privacy policies lead to separate services governed by their own policies.
Contact enquiries
The contact form is a demo. It validates your entries, waits two seconds, and shows a success preview. No email is sent; form details stay in the current page and are not saved to browser storage or sent to a server.
To contact us, email support@glopim.com using your email application. Those messages are handled by the email providers involved and our receiving mailbox. Avoid sharing API keys or unnecessary sensitive information.
Snap Translate: selected content
When you activate the extension, selected page text can be sent directly from your browser to a translation provider. Basic mode uses MyMemory. AI mode uses the OpenAI or Gemini provider configured in the popup.
Basic image OCR runs on your device with bundled Tesseract language data for English and Vietnamese. Images are processed locally in this mode, but the extracted text is sent to MyMemory when translated. AI image mode sends the selected image to your configured AI provider.
API keys and browser storage
AI mode uses your own API key. The extension stores settings and keys in chrome.storage.sync, which can sync to your signed-in Chrome profiles. Translation results and daily usage counters use chrome.storage.local. These are browser storage mechanisms, not a Glopim account or server database.
Remove saved keys through the extension popup when you no longer want them stored. Uninstalling the extension removes its local browser data; Chrome sync behavior also depends on your browser settings.
Third-party providers
Content sent to a translation or AI provider is subject to that provider’s terms and privacy practices. Review the active provider before translating sensitive material. Custom endpoints, if configured, have their own practices.
Product status
Snap Translate is in development. These notes describe the current implementation; data handling may change as the product evolves. Review this page again before using a future release.
