Note: This policy explains how LiteTranslate ("the Service") collects, uses, stores and protects your personal information. Please pay special attention to the bold clauses. Questions? Reach us via Contact.
This page is a courtesy translation. The Chinese original on translate.litelake.cn is the authoritative version.
1. Who we are
- The Service is operated by Xiamen Jingdu Network Technology Co., Ltd. (website: gentleltd.cn), which acts as the processor of personal information described in this policy.
- Privacy contact: official@biz.gentleltd.cn.
- Scope: all use of the Service through translate.litelake.com, including the web Playground, the REST API and the Agent Skill.
2. What we collect
We follow the principles of legality, legitimacy, minimal necessity and good faith, collecting only what the features require:
| Category | When | What | Optional? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account | Sign-up, sign-in | Phone/email and password (stored encrypted), handled by the Lite Lake user center (UC) | Required for account, API key and quota management; not required for anonymous use |
| Content | Text you submit | Source text and resulting translation | Required to perform the translation |
| Network identifier | Anonymous Playground use | Your IP address is stored only as a SHA-256 hash (rate limiting and abuse analysis); no plaintext IP is kept | Automatic |
| API key metadata | Creating and calling keys | Key name, prefix (first 12 chars), status, last-used time; the full plaintext is shown once at creation and only a SHA-256 hash is stored | Required for the feature |
| Usage data | Automatic on access | Access time, request metadata (language pair, character count, result code, latency), pages visited | Automatic |
We do not actively collect ID numbers, biometric data, financial accounts or other sensitive personal information.
3. Special note on content
- During Beta we do not persist translations: request logs contain metadata only (language pair, character count, status, latency) — your submitted text and the returned translation are never written to the database.
- Submitted text is sent to our upstream inference engine only for the duration of that request. Please remove any content you would rather not have processed before submitting.
4. How we use information
- Purpose: to provide and maintain the features you request (translation, quota accounting, API key management); to keep the service secure and prevent abuse; for necessary operational statistics.
- Legal basis: necessary to perform our agreement with you, or with your consent.
- We do not sell your personal information or use it for third-party ad targeting.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
- We use essential cookies to keep your session and language preference.
- For operational insight we use self-hosted analytics, and where needed for site diagnostics, search-engine webmaster tools. These are used only for aggregate analysis, performance diagnostics and security — never for third-party ad targeting.
- You may restrict or delete cookies in your browser; this may affect signed-in features but not anonymous Playground or API use.
6. Storage and security
- Storage location: personal information is stored and processed entirely within the People's Republic of China.
- Retention:
- Submitted text: held in memory for the duration of the request only; never written to the database.
- Request-log metadata: deleted automatically after 30 days.
- Account and API key records: kept until you delete your account or revoke the key.
- Security measures: API keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes (plaintext returned once at issuance); IPs stored as hashes; HTTPS everywhere; administrative actions pass through a separately authenticated gateway.
7. Your rights
- Access, correction and deletion: manage your keys and usage from the Account page after signing in; account deletion requests can be made via Contact.
- Withdraw consent: revoke keys at any time (revocation is immediate) or stop using the Service.
- Complaints and suggestions: email official@biz.gentleltd.cn; we respond within 15 working days.
8. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be announced on this page with the version information above updated.
