This Privacy Policy describes how Melissa Hardy Studios LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles information in connection with Arthur ("the Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how the Service works.
Arthur is designed to be simple and privacy-conscious. We collect minimal information:
We do not collect personal account profiles, browsing history, or usage analytics at this time.
The limited information we handle is used solely to:
We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Arthur's translation functionality relies on third-party artificial intelligence services. Voice audio and text are transmitted to these providers to perform transcription and translation. We transmit only what is necessary to deliver the translation and do not provide these providers with personally identifying information about you.
Subscription payments are processed by third-party providers such as Stripe or PayPal. When you make a payment, you are subject to the privacy policy and terms of the applicable payment processor. We receive only confirmation of a successful transaction and your subscription status — not your payment details.
We do not retain voice audio or translation data. Email correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably necessary to resolve your inquiry. Subscription records are retained as required for business and legal purposes.
Our website does not use tracking cookies to identify you personally or follow your activity across other websites. If we use website analytics to understand traffic and improve the Service, such analytics are configured to collect only anonymized, aggregated information and do not rely on tracking cookies.
If you complete a payment through a third-party processor such as Stripe or PayPal, that processor may place its own cookies or similar technologies on your device as part of securely processing your transaction and preventing fraud. Those cookies are governed by the applicable payment processor's own privacy and cookie policies, not by us.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the Service and any information associated with it. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Arthur is intended for use by businesses and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of information we hold about you. To exercise any such rights, please contact us at hello@arthurtranslates.com.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
