BabelPhone Call Translator Privacy Policy
This privacy policy statement explains which personal data is collected when using the BabelPhone Call Translator app and how it is being used. We value your privacy and collect the minimal information required to provide you with the best service.
Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your personal information in accordance with our app.
What personal information do we collect?
We collect information that is required for the operation of the app and information that helps us provide you with better services. Some of the information is entered directly by you, some is automatically collected from your phone or network and some information is your activity within the app.
Calls made with the app are saved on your phone only: there is no other copy elsewhere. We do not listen to your calls except for identifying or fixing problems.
The data we collect may include the following items:
-
Your country and language. When you install the app it collects information from your device and network to determine your country and language. You can fix this collected information if it isn't correct. This information is required for the correct use of the app.
-
Information about your device, such as your phone model, operating system and mobile carrier are automatically collected from your device.
-
Log information on your usage of the app, such as the errors that you experienced and features you choose to use in the app.
-
Your purchases. The app saves data for each purchase you make.
-
Your contact information. For example, you may be asked to enter your email after making a purchase to better handle purchase related problems or approve collecting your token to send you push notifications.
-
Anti-fraud data such as IP addresses.
-
Your phone number. You can optionally enter your phone number so the app can show it to the person you call.
We do not collect credit card data as we do not make charges ourselves, only via Apple Inc.

How do we use your information?
In general, we use the collected information for the operation of the app and to provide you with better services. Specifically we use the collected information in the following ways:
-
For the correct operation of the app. For example we may use your country and language to better fit the app to your spoken language.
-
To show you only relevant services. For example we need to know your country to offer to set your own phone number to appear to the caller, and this service is not supported in all countries.
-
To give you better support. For example we keep your phone model and operating system so we can identify problems faster.
-
To support connecting to your account if you accidently uninstall the app or switch to a different device. For example we may ask for your email so we verify your account on a new device.
-
To contact you in regard to important changes or conditions related to your account or to offer you special promotions via email or push notification or similar means.
-
To perform anti-fraud related actions.
Unless otherwise specified, we retain information as long as it is necessary and relevant for us to achieve the purposes referred to above or to enable us to comply with our legal data protection retention obligations.
How do we protect your information?
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
We implement a variety of security measures when you use the app in any way to maintain the safety of your personal information.
Opting out
You can remove the app at any time from your device.
Children’s Privacy
We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old. Therefore we do not knowingly collect personal information via our websites, applications, services, or tools from anyone under 13.
App misuse
We may use information in order to comply with law, prevent fraud, assist with investigations, resolve disputes, analyze, or troubleshoot programs, enforce our Terms of Use, or take other actions permitted by law. Likewise, if your account or membership is terminated or suspended, we may maintain some information to prevent you from re-registering.
