PRIVACY AND PERMISSIONS

Installing Linguin does not ask for access to your browsing. The extension requests storage to save settings and your sign-in session locally, contextMenus for the right-click options, sidePanel for the side panel, activeTab and scripting to translate the page you are currently on without standing access to every site, and identity for signing in.

Broader access to the sites you visit is optional. It is requested only if you turn on selected-text translation everywhere or automatic page translation, and you can revoke it any time from Settings or chrome://extensions.

Full-page and selected-text translation are handled by free translation engines, Google Translate with MyMemory as a fallback. Side panel translation is handled by Linguin's own AI service. If you sign in, your history and custom dictionary are stored on our servers and tied to your account. As a guest, nothing is stored beyond your local browser settings. Translated text is processed to return your result and is not sold to third parties. Full details are in our Privacy Policy at linguin.app/privacy.
