Privacy policy for TWCC Universal Translator - Twitch Chat
TWCC Universal Translator - Twitch Chat by lowbassguy
Effective date: May 6, 2026.
What we collect. We do not collect anything on our servers. The extension stores three things locally on your device only: your OpenAI API key, your language preferences, and (transiently) the text you choose to translate at the moment you invoke a shortcut.
What we transmit. When you invoke a translation, the text you submit and your API key are sent from your browser directly to https://api.openai.com/v1/responses in order to obtain the translation. Nothing is sent anywhere else, and no copy is retained by the extension.
Third-party processor. OpenAI processes the translation request under their own privacy policy. See openai.com/policies/privacy-policy for their terms. The authors of this extension do not receive a copy of the text or any associated metadata.
What we do not collect. No analytics, no telemetry, no remote logging, no tracking, no advertising identifiers, no profile data, and no personally identifiable information beyond what you choose to type into a field you ask to translate.
Storage location and retention. Your API key and preferences live in your browser's local extension storage (storage.local) on your browser profile. They are removed when you uninstall the extension. We do not operate any servers and have no database of users, requests, or content.
Children. The extension is not directed at users under 13.
Contact. Privacy questions can be sent to info@webcreativecommunity.org.
Changes. If this policy changes, we will update the effective date above. Continued use of the extension after a change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
