Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

At ToonLens, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over your data.

If you have any questions about this policy, do not hesitate to contact us.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

ToonLens acts as a Data Controller for the personal information we collect through our website and Chrome extension.

When we collect and process your personal information, we do so on one or more of the following grounds:

Your personal information is kept only for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law.

As a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights over your personal data. You may request access to the information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by contacting us directly.

Depending on your situation, you may also have the right to:

Data We Collect

Account information When you create an account, we collect your email address and a hashed password. If you sign in via a third-party provider (e.g. Google), we receive only the information that provider shares with us.

Billing information If you subscribe to a paid plan, payments are processed by a third-party payment processor (e.g. Stripe). We do not store your credit card number or full payment details. We retain records of your subscription plan, billing history, and transaction IDs.

Usage data We collect data about how you use the Service, including which chapters have been translated, your chapter usage against your monthly limit, and feature interactions. This helps us operate the Service and improve it.

Technical and log data We automatically collect standard log data including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and timestamps. This data is used for security, analytics, and diagnosing technical issues.

Cookies We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Sharing Your Data

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following circumstances:

Service providers: We use third-party providers to operate the Service, including cloud hosting, payment processing, and analytics. These providers process data only on our behalf and under contractual data protection obligations.

Legal requirements: We may disclose your data if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ToonLens, our users, or the public.

Third-Party Services

ToonLens may interact with third-party websites and services as part of its functionality. We do not control the data practices of these third parties and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies for information about how they handle your data.

Children's Privacy

ToonLens is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activity and to help enforce this policy. If you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at support@toonlens.com and we will promptly remove that information from our records.

International Transfers

Your data is processed on servers located in the United States. As this involves a transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as the legal mechanism to ensure your data is protected in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date and notify you via email or in-app notice where required. Continued use of ToonLens after the updated policy takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
