隐私政策Privacy Policy

生效日期：2026-10-16

简单翻译（英文名 Plain Translate，早先叫 Simple Translate）是由个人开发者 Max Lin（法定姓名 YOUXIANG LIN，下称「我」）发布的 Chrome 扩展。本政策说明这个扩展如何处理你的数据，适用于 Chrome 网上应用店里的简单翻译，以及从项目 GitHub 仓库加载的简单翻译。

概要

简单翻译不收集任何个人数据，不向我发送任何东西。你在某个网页上打开翻译后，要翻译的文字只发给你设置的那一个翻译服务，不发给别处。设置和 API Key 只保存在这个浏览器里。

扩展接触哪些数据

  • 你翻译的网页上的文字。 只有在你于某个标签页点击工具栏图标或按快捷键之后，扩展才读取该网页的段落（先读屏幕上的），并把每段译文插在原文下面。你没有打开翻译的网页，它不运行；其他标签页的内容它不读取。
  • 你的设置，即你在设置页填写的内容（见「在你的浏览器里保存什么」）。

网络

所有网络请求只发往你选择的翻译服务的地址，例如 OpenRouter、OpenAI、DeepSeek、本机的 Ollama，或你填写的自定义地址：

  • 翻译： 要翻译的段落文字、翻译指令（包括目标语言）、模型名称、你设置的推理档位或额外请求字段，以及放在请求头里的 API Key。不发送网页的地址和标题。
  • 「测试」按钮： 一句固定的示例句子，发送方式相同。
  • 模型列表： 设置页需要时，向该服务请求模型列表，带着你的 API Key，不含网页文字。

该服务按它自己的条款和隐私政策处理收到的内容，并通过你在该服务的账号向你收费。我不运行任何服务器，扩展不连接我，也不连接任何其他方。

在你的浏览器里保存什么

保存在这个浏览器的 chrome.storage.local 里：

  • 当前选择的服务；
  • 每个服务各自的 API Key、模型、推理档位，以及地址（仅自定义服务）；
  • 目标语言；
  • 你填写的额外请求字段（如有）。

API Key 不会传给你翻译的网页。把自定义服务的地址改到另一个主机时，为它保存的 Key 会被清除。译文只保存在当前网页的内存里，关闭或刷新网页即消失。

权限

  • activeTab： 只在你点击图标或按快捷键时访问当前标签页。
  • scripting： 在那一刻把翻译脚本和样式加入该标签页。
  • storage： 保存上面列出的设置。
  • 可选的网站访问权限： 你选择服务、保存 Key、修改地址、点「测试」或刷新模型列表时，Chrome 会请你允许访问该翻译服务的地址。扩展只用它向这个地址发送请求。它不申请访问所有网站的权限。

你可以随时在 chrome://extensions 里这个扩展的详情页撤销网站访问权限。

统计与追踪

扩展不包含任何统计分析、崩溃上报、广告或追踪代码，也没有第三方依赖。

简单翻译对从浏览器获得的信息的使用遵守 Chrome 网上应用店用户数据政策，包括其中的「有限使用」要求：网页文字和你的 API Key 只用于翻译你要求翻译的网页，只发给你选择的服务，不出售，不用于广告，我和任何代表我的人都不会查看。

如何删除你的数据

  1. 在设置页对每个已保存的 Key 使用「删除 Key…」，或
  2. 在 chrome://extensions 里移除这个扩展，其保存的设置会一并删除。

已经发送给翻译服务的数据由该服务保存，如需删除请联系该服务。

儿童

简单翻译不面向儿童，也不收集任何人的个人信息。

本政策的变更

如果扩展处理数据的方式发生变化，我会在新版本发布前或发布时更新本政策及其生效日期。

Plain Translate (简单翻译; earlier released as Simple Translate) is a Chrome extension published by individual developer Max Lin (legal name YOUXIANG LIN; "I", "me"). This policy describes what the extension does with your data. It applies to Plain Translate on the Chrome Web Store and to Plain Translate loaded from the project's GitHub repository.

Summary

Plain Translate collects no personal data and sends nothing to me. When you turn translation on for a page, the text being translated is sent to the one translation service you configured, and nowhere else. Your settings and API keys stay in this browser.

What the extension touches

  • Text of the page you translate. Only after you click the toolbar icon or press the shortcut on a tab, the extension reads the paragraphs of that page, starting with those on screen, and inserts each translation under its paragraph. It does not run on any page you have not turned it on for, and reads nothing from other tabs.
  • Your settings, which you enter on the settings page (see "What is stored in your browser").

Network

All network requests go to the address of the translation service you selected, such as OpenRouter, OpenAI, DeepSeek, a local Ollama, or a custom address you entered:

  • Translation: the paragraphs being translated, the translation instructions (including the target language), the model name, any reasoning level or extra request fields you set, and your API key in the request header. The page's address and title are not sent.
  • Test button: a fixed sample sentence, sent the same way.
  • Model list: when the settings page needs it, a request for the service's list of models, carrying your API key and no page text.

That service handles what it receives under its own terms and privacy policy, and bills you under your own account with it. I run no server, and the extension does not connect to me or to any other party.

What is stored in your browser

In this browser's chrome.storage.local:

  • the selected service;
  • for each service: your API key, the model, the reasoning level, and the address (custom service only);
  • the target language;
  • extra request fields, if you entered any.

The API key is not passed to the web pages you translate. Changing a custom service's address to a different host clears the key saved for it. Translations are kept only in the memory of the open page and disappear when the page is closed or reloaded.

Permissions

  • activeTab: access to the current tab only when you click the icon or press the shortcut.
  • scripting: to add the translation script and styles to that tab at that moment.
  • storage: to save the settings listed above.
  • Optional site access: Chrome asks you to allow access to the translation service's address when you pick a service, save a key, change the address, press Test, or refresh the model list. The extension uses it only to send requests to that address. It does not ask for access to all websites.

You can remove site access at any time on the extension's details page in chrome://extensions.

Analytics and tracking

The extension contains no analytics, crash reporting, advertising or tracking code, and has no third-party dependencies.

Plain Translate's use of information received from the browser adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements: page text and your API key are used only to translate the pages you ask it to translate, sent only to the service you chose, not sold, not used for advertising, and not read by me or anyone else on my behalf.

How to remove your data

  1. On the settings page, use "Remove Key…" for each saved key, or
  2. remove the extension in chrome://extensions, which also removes its stored settings.

Data already sent to your translation service is held by that service; contact it to remove it.

Children

Plain Translate is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If what the extension does with data changes, I will update this policy and its effective date before or when the new version is released.
