Thank you for choosing to be part of our community at SmoothReads.World, a service provided by Clear Translation LLC ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy notice or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at info@smoothreads.world.
We collect personal information in the following ways:
We collect personal information you voluntarily provide when registering on our site, using our extension, or contacting us. This may include:
We automatically collect information when you visit our site or use our extension. This information is dissociated from specific users and does not reveal your specific identity. It may include:
This information is needed to maintain the security and operation of our site, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like tokens) to authenticate users and store session information. Cookies help enhance your experience and allow us to provide secure and seamless service. You can manage your cookie preferences in your browser settings.
We use the information collected for the following purposes:
We use third party service providers for user authentication (such as Google Auth) and payment processing. These services handle all authentication and payment transactions, and we do not store passwords or financial data on our servers. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for more information.
We take the security of your data seriously. Data transmitted between our site/extension and your device is encrypted using HTTPS. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. However, while we use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information.
We collect device and usage information, such as pages visited and IP addresses, to improve our services. This data is dissociated from specific users.
Low-level logs containing detailed device and usage information are retained for a maximum of 3 months. After this period, logs are either deleted or aggregated into anonymous statistical data, which is stored for longer periods. Aggregated data is used for long-term analysis and service improvements.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for any purpose. Your data is only shared in the following circumstances:
We do not knowingly collect or solicit information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it immediately. Please contact us if you believe we have any information regarding a child under 13.
You may delete your account at any time by visiting your account page. When an account is deleted, we immediately remove your personal data from our database. Any user-generated content you have created (such as reviews) will remain visible on the site, but will be dissociated from your identity and attributed to “former user” to maintain discussion continuity without revealing your personal information.
Please note that to prevent abuse of our free membership program (which is available only to new users), we retain two basic pieces of information for up to twelve months after deletion:
This limited information is retained for the sole purpose of abuse prevention and will not be utilized in any other way. After twelve months, this information is automatically deleted from our systems.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Significant updates will be communicated to users via appropriate channels.
