Last Updated: May 24, 2026

At TranslatorOldEnglish.com, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains when, why, and how we collect personal information about people who visit our website, how we keep it secure, and under what conditions we may disclose it to third parties. We are dedicated to ensuring that your data is processed transparently and in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws.

1. Data Collection

We may collect and process the following types of information when you visit and interact with our website:

  • Contact Information: If you voluntarily fill out our contact form, we collect your name, email address, inquiry subject, and the contents of your message.
  • Usage and Device Analytics: When you navigate our pages, we automatically gather standard system information through analytical tools. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, page visits, referral source, and duration of visits.
  • Cookies and Tracking: We utilize cookies to enhance your browsing experience, remember preferences, and analyze website traffic. Please see Section 3 for more details.

2. How Data Is Used

We use the collected information for specific, legitimate business purposes, including:

  • To respond to your inquiries, support requests, and feedback submitted via our contact form.
  • To monitor, analyze, and optimize website performance, ensuring that our translation tool remains responsive and functional across all device types.
  • To defend our platform against security threats, spam, and malicious activity.
  • To compile aggregate, anonymous statistical data regarding visitor behavior to improve our content strategy and historical guides.

3. Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to collect standard internet log and visitor behavior information. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period) to:

  • Analyze traffic patterns using statistical tools to help us refine the interface layout.
  • Temporarily cache translation selections and era tabs during active sessions to improve speed and responsiveness.

You can set your browser not to accept cookies, and you can remove existing cookies from your browser. However, in a few cases, some of our website features (such as cached translation history or custom text size preferences) may not function fully as a result.

4. Third Party Services

To ensure a high-quality experience, we integrate trusted third-party services on our platform. These services may process data on our behalf:

  • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to track anonymous usage statistics. Google Analytics uses cookies to generate data about website usage, which is stored in compliance with Google's safety frameworks.
  • WordPress Plugins & Hosting: Our site is powered by WordPress, utilizing secure plugins (e.g. WPCode, Kadence, and UpdraftPlus) and secure hosting infrastructure. These platforms operate under strict confidentiality agreements.

We do not sell, rent, or distribute your personal contact information to any third-party advertisers or marketing agencies under any circumstances.

5. User Rights (GDPR Compliance)

Under the GDPR, you possess key rights regarding your personal data. You are entitled to:

  • The Right to Access: You can request copies of the personal data we hold about you.
  • The Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • The Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You can request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
  • The Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict or stop the processing of your personal data under specific circumstances.
  • The Right to Data Portability: You can request that we transfer the collected data to another organization, or directly to you.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in Section 7. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

6. Data Retention

We keep your contact information only for as long as is necessary to address your inquiries and provide support. Form submissions and email correspondence are deleted or archived after 12 months unless ongoing business collaborations require longer retention. Anonymous analytical logs generated by Google Analytics are retained for the standard duration specified by the service (typically 14 months) before automatic deletion.
