CrossLingo ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") is a translation app for iPhone. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information when you use text, voice, and camera translation features.
CrossLingo does not require an account and does not operate a server that receives your typed text, microphone audio, speech transcripts, translations, photos, or conversation history.
Version 1.0 does not include ads, external purchase flows, or third-party analytics/attribution SDKs in the submitted app binary.
We do not collect, sell, or share the following information through our own services:
The App uses Apple-provided frameworks to perform its core functions. Depending on your device, iOS version, language, and system settings, Apple speech recognition and translation services may process requests on device or through Apple-operated services. We do not receive or store the content processed by Apple frameworks.
| Feature | Apple Framework or Service | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Voice translation | AVFoundation and Speech | Capture speech from the microphone and convert speech to text. |
| Text and voice translation | Translation | Translate text between selected languages. |
| Camera translation | AVFoundation, PhotosUI, and Vision | Capture or select an image, recognize text, and translate it. |
Apple's handling of data is governed by Apple's privacy policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/.
| Permission | Why It Is Needed |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Required to capture speech for voice translation. |
| Speech Recognition | Required to convert spoken words into text using Apple's Speech framework. |
| Camera | Required to capture photos of text for camera translation. |
| Photo Library Selection | Used only when you choose an image from the system photo picker. |
The App may store basic settings and local app state on your device using iOS app storage. If conversation history is created by the App, it is stored inside the App's local sandbox. Deleting the App removes its local app container subject to iOS behavior.
Version 1.0 does not present paid plans or external purchase options. If paid features are introduced in a future version, they will be offered through Apple's In-App Purchase system and this policy will be updated as needed.
The App is designed to function without an account or our own data collection backend. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date will be revised when material changes are made.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through the App Store listing or the support email associated with the App.
