Terms and Conditions

TranslatorTools wants to know what works, and what doesn’t work, for you, our valued visitor.

The same goes for Squarespace, the platform that was used to build this website; it’s also the service that helps us analyse how you’re using TranslatorTools.

Squarespace needs to collect data about your visits to protect and improve its platform and services, and to keep TranslatorTools going. Squarespace analyses the data in a de-personalised form, meaning that it won’t be possible to trace this information back to you.

To help us figure out what works, and improve what doesn’t, we collect the following details:

• Information about your browser, network, and device

• Web pages you visited prior to coming to TranslatorTools

• Your IP address

• Clicks on TranslatorTools’ pages

• Internal links (i.e. links that take you to other pages on our website)

• Pages visited

• Scrolling

• Timestamps

TranslatorTools uses cookies and similar technologies, which are small files or pieces of text that download to a device when a visitor accesses a website or app. Click here for more information about the cookies dropped on your device by Squarespace, our website host and data analytics service provider.

Some of our website cookies are functional and required, meaning they are an absolute requirement for the safe display and delivery of this site to you.

Others are analytics and performance cookies; they are only used when you acknowledge our cookie banner. If you click ‘Accept’ on this banner, we won’t show you this message for another 30 days (unless you clear your cookies). TranslatorTools uses analytics and performance cookies to view site traffic, activity, and other data.

When you submit information to TranslatorTools via Contact, TranslatorTools collects your responses in order to track and address them. We share this information with Squarespace, our online hosting provider, so that they can provide website services to us. We also share this information with Google Workspace for processing and storage and with Zapier for data porting.

TranslatorTools’ processing of contact form submissions is subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation, meaning that your privacy rights must be protected as governed by the Information Commissioner’s Office. In line with this, TranslatorTools has one month to address each request you make to exercise your data rights.

Your contact form responses will not be retained any longer than is necessary.

• When you share general feedback, your responses will be anonymised and used to help improve the website. We won’t always respond directly to you, but know that your input is very much appreciated.

• For translation service/web development requests, your details and submitted response will only be shared and retained to the extent minimally required for the consideration and actioning of your request.
