LingoLearn BN
Privacy Policy — Instant Meanings & Pronunciation browser extension
Last updated: September 20, 2026
LingoLearn BN is a browser extension by ANSNEW TECH. that translates text you select on a webpage and reads it aloud. This policy explains, in plain language, what data the extension processes. The short version:
1. Text you select
When you select text on a page, that text (trimmed to the length limit configured in the
extension's settings) is sent over an encrypted connection to Google Translate's public
endpoint (translate.googleapis.com, with clients5.google.com as a
fallback) to generate the translation and pronunciation you asked for. This happens only in
direct response to your action. We do not see, log, or retain any of this content — it flows
from your browser directly to the translation service.
2. Settings and preferences
Your preferences (target language, voice, speech rate, feature toggles, theme, excluded-site
list) are saved in your browser's own extension storage
(chrome.storage / browser.storage). They never leave your device and
are not transmitted to us or to any third party.
3. What we do not do
- No accounts, sign-ins, or registration.
- No analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking.
- No advertising or data sales.
- No collection of browsing history, personal information, or page content beyond the text you explicitly select.
- No remote code — everything the extension runs ships inside the package you installed.
4. Permissions and why they exist
- Access to websites — required to detect text you select on a page and show the popup next to it.
- Translate hosts — required to request the translation of your selected text.
- Storage — required to remember your settings between sessions.
5. Third-party service
Translation requests are processed by Google's public translation service. Their handling of request data is governed by Google's own privacy policy. We send them only the selected text, with no identifiers, cookies, or account information attached.
6. Children's privacy
The extension is safe for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
7. Changes to this policy
If the extension's data practices ever change, this page will be updated with a new "last updated" date.
