Privacy Policy

Who runs the service

The service is run by Anıl Karabulut as an individual, not by a company. Address: Akhisar, Manisa, Türkiye. Contact: destek@translateyourpdf.com. The service is provided at translateyourpdf.com. Write to that address for any request about your data.

Your files

Translations: so that you can download the result, a translation is kept from the moment it finishes for 7 days if you started it signed in, and for 24 hours if you did not. The source PDF is needed only for page retries and recognition (OCR), so it is kept no longer than its result and is deleted together with it. When the period ends the files are deleted automatically and permanently; you can delete them at any time from My translations in your account. Files are held on our server's persistent storage and are not backed up. Each account may keep up to 2 GB in total; past that, or when the disk is close to full, the results closest to expiry are deleted early.

Free tools: files you upload to merge, split and the other free tools, and the output produced, are deleted automatically within one hour at the latest.

File contents and file names are never written to a database. A file name is kept only beside the file, to show it to you in My translations, and is deleted with it. The "your translation is ready" e-mail sent after a long translation contains neither the file name nor the file.

Translation provider

We do not produce the translation ourselves: the text blocks extracted from your document are sent to our translation provider DeepSeek (api.deepseek.com). The file itself is not sent — only the text to be translated leaves our server, and the result is placed back into your document. This transfer goes outside Türkiye and the EU. For that reason we recommend not uploading confidential or sensitive documents you would not want translated by a third party. The free PDF tools (merge, split, rotate, compress and the rest) run entirely on our own server and send nothing outside it. Text recognition (OCR) for scanned documents also runs on our own server.

Account and usage data

When you register we store only:

• Your e-mail address (for signing in; we keep no password — you sign in with a link).
• Your credit balance.
• A content-free usage record: date, tool used, page count and credits spent. This record contains no file name and no content.

IP address and daily quota

To enforce the free daily page quota for use without an account, and to prevent abuse, your IP address is kept together with that day's page counter. This record is a counter and nothing more: it holds no file name, no content and no e-mail address, and it resets every day. When you enter an e-mail address to raise the free quota, that address is not stored; only that day's quota is raised.

E-mail delivery

Your e-mail address is passed to an SMTP e-mail provider to deliver sign-in links and essential notices about your account. We send no marketing e-mail.

Payment data

Payments are taken through our payment provider Paddle, acting as Merchant of Record. Your card details are processed by Paddle and never enter this application; we cannot see or store your card data.

Logs

Our error and operational logs are structured. No log line contains file content, an e-mail address, a session token or an API key.

Visitor statistics

To see in aggregate how the site is used we use the Umami Cloud (cloud.umami.is) visitor statistics service. What is counted is page views and the number of steps such as uploads, started translations and downloads; no file name, file content, e-mail address or account number is attached to these events. According to Umami's own description, the service uses no cookies, does not store IP addresses and processes data on servers in the EU; these are the provider's statements and have not been independently verified by us.

Cookies

We use functional cookies only — for your session, for security (CSRF) and for your preferences. We set no advertising or third-party tracking cookies. For details see the Cookie Policy.

Your rights

Under Turkish data protection law (KVKK) and, if you are in the EU, under the GDPR, you have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict its processing, to receive a copy of it and to object to processing. Write to destek@translateyourpdf.com; we answer within 30 days at the latest. Deletion of your account is requested at the same address (there is no delete button in the app yet): on your request, your account and balance data are removed. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority, or with the supervisory authority in your own country if you are in the EU.

Changes

When we update this policy the "last updated" date on this page changes. We notify registered users by e-mail of material changes.
