Smart Chinese Screen Translator: Privacy Policy

Published by Avocore. Last updated November 2, 2026.

Smart Chinese Screen Translator is a Chrome extension with one purpose: replacing Chinese on web pages with the language you choose. It does this through DeepSeek, a third-party AI provider. It starts only after you agree on its welcome page.

Data sent to DeepSeek

• Chinese text on the pages you open, including pages you are logged in to, unless you turn translation off for that site. This text can include personal information if the page shows it.
• The page title and site name, to give the translation context.
• Images on the page, only if you turn on "Translate images too". The extension downloads them without your login cookies.
• A screenshot of the current tab, only when you press "Read this screen".

This data goes directly from your browser to DeepSeek's API, which can also see your IP address. It does not pass through Avocore's servers, and Avocore does not receive a copy.

Who receives it

DeepSeek is run by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd. Its privacy policy says it processes and stores data in the People's Republic of China. That policy, not this one, governs what DeepSeek does with the data, including how long it keeps it and whether it uses it to improve its models. Read the DeepSeek privacy policy. Don't use this extension on pages with information you wouldn't share with DeepSeek.

Data sent to Avocore

The extension includes a free allowance. Only when it runs out, or when you ask for an access code, the extension sends Avocore:

• A random install ID created by the extension, which does not identify you.
• The extension version and the amount of AI usage so far.
• Your email address, only if you enter it to ask for a code.

Avocore receives this as an email notification and uses it only to manage access to the extension. Avocore's server sees your IP address when the message arrives, uses it briefly to limit abuse, and does not store it. Page content is never included.

Data kept in your browser

Your settings, your usage count, and a cache of Chinese text with its translations so that repeat visits need no new request. These stay in your browser's extension storage, and Chrome deletes them when you remove the extension.

What the extension does not do

It has no account or sign-in, no analytics and no ads. Avocore does not sell or share your data, or use it for advertising or to decide creditworthiness.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

The use of information received by this extension adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Your choices

• Turn translation off for any site from the toolbar icon.
• Leave image translation off, which is the default.
• Remove the extension at any time to stop all sending and delete its local data.

Changes and contact

If these practices change, this page and the extension will say so before the change applies. Questions: huseyin@avocore.com.
