PRIVACY & SECURITYPOLICY

Privacy and Security Policy

Privacy and consent disclaimer; Please read before using this website.

Revised September 13, 2026: added the sections "Services This Website Loads" and "Translate Your App – Business."

I. Introduction

Freytag & Company, LLC, ("we", "our" and "us"), is a small company that needs to use its time getting on with building great products so lets keep things simple and clear. Here, "you" and "your" refers to you the user, customer, or client.

This code probably has bugs. Our products are provided "as is" with no expressed or implied warranty. Current software technology has not advanced to the point that software products can be both cost-effectively delivered to market and be bug-free. That means we have made a best effort to protect you from privacy and security bugs in our products but we cannot promise the absence of bugs in them. We have made and will make a best-effort to fix privacy or security bugs when they occur and alert you either directly or through public channels of the nature and extent of a privacy or security breach if any occurs.

II. Information Collection

We have no interest in profiting from your personally-identifiable information and will not do so. We will not sell your information to anyone. We will not lend or covertly share your information to anyone outside our company (the services named in section IV receive the usage data described there, under their own privacy terms), unless we believe or have been informed by United States of America ("USA") law-enforcement that you may be violating USA law and in that case only in support of the law and not ourselves. If a link between our product and some external service is made beyond those already mentioned, you will be asked before that link is made and before your personally-identifiable information is shared with that external service.

When supporting you directly, we will certainly have to see your personally-identifiable information if we happen to collect it. If you are doing something we believe or have been told by USA law-enforcement is illegal by the USA law, we may be compelled to act on that information (much like your lawyer or accountant might be compelled). Please use this product with that possibility in mind. We don't want to have to choose between your privacy and security and the law.

We will likely collect information about you as a part of your usage of this product. Usually, this information will be passed through third-party services with whom we have a contractual relationship to protect your information. This information may have personally identifiable information but we will not intentionally release your information other than to the aforementioned services. Accidents and bugs can happen to anybody and might happen to us so your information might be released outside the company. We advise you to use this product with the potential for information release in mind.

III. Third-party Restrictions

Applications that use the following third-party services have these additional restrictions as applicable:

  1. Use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will also adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google API Services User Data Policy
  2. Microsoft Privacy Statement

IV. Services This Website Loads

Most pages of www.freytag.us load these outside services. Each receives the usual data a web request carries (your network address, browser type, the page you are viewing) and may set cookies in your browser, under that service's own privacy terms:

  • Microsoft Azure Application Insights records page views, page load times and script errors so we can find and fix problems. Microsoft Privacy Statement.
  • Google Tag Manager, with a Google Ads conversion tag, measures visits and which product links are clicked. Google Privacy Policy.
  • Google Translate website widget lets you read the site in another language; it sends the page text to Google when you use it.
  • Google Maps shows our location on the Contact page.
  • Our hosting service, Microsoft Azure App Service, sets a cookie (ARRAffinity) that routes your requests to the same server during a visit.

The Translate Your App – Business application page (section V) loads none of the Google services above and does not record the calls it makes.

V. Translate Your App – Business (browser edition)

Translate Your App – Business runs entirely in your web browser after its page loads. What it does with data:

  • Your files. Your resource files, work files, glossary and translation memory are read from and written to the folder on your computer that you choose. They are never uploaded to Freytag & Company or to anyone else. In browsers that cannot write to a folder, changed files are held in the browser's memory until you download them.
  • Text sent for translation. The text of each string you choose to translate, plus any glossary terms that apply to it, is sent to your own Azure AI Translator resource in your own Microsoft Azure subscription. Microsoft's handling of that text is described in its data, privacy and security page for Azure AI Translator. Nothing is sent to Freytag & Company.
  • Your key or sign-in. The Azure key you enter is held in your browser tab's memory and, only if you tick the box, in that tab's session storage until the tab closes. It is never sent to Freytag & Company and never written to your project files. If you use "Sign in with Microsoft," the Microsoft sign-in library keeps your sign-in tokens in the tab's session storage; we receive nothing from the sign-in.
  • What our server sees. Our web server delivers the application's files and, like any web server, logs the request (network address, browser type, time). After the page has loaded, the application makes no further requests to our server. It does not load the analytics, tag-manager, translation-widget or advertising services described in section IV.
  • Your Azure charges. Microsoft bills your subscription for Azure AI Translator usage above its free tier. Freytag & Company receives none of it.
