Service Provider: DeepL SE, Maarweg 165, 50825 Cologne, Germany

What the service is:
DeepL is a professional AI translation service that provides high-quality language translation.

What it’s used for:
This plugin uses the DeepL API to translate your website content including posts, pages, menus, widgets, image alt text, custom fields, and WooCommerce products from one language to another.

What data is sent to DeepL:
When translation is requested, the following data is transmitted to DeepL servers:
– Text content to be translated (post content, titles, excerpts, menu items, widget text, image alt text, custom field values, etc.)

When data is sent:
Data is transmitted to the DeepL API only in the following scenarios:

– When testing API connection in plugin settings
– When checking API usage statistics

Data NOT sent:
– No visitor/user personal information
– No browsing data or analytics
– No database credentials
– No WordPress admin credentials
– API calls only occur during translation operations, NOT on frontend page loads
