What Data is Collected
Camera input is processed to identify and translate text. The app also collects usage activity that supports ad delivery through Google's advertising platform.
Third-Party Data Sharing
User information is shared with four Google services: Google Vision API handles camera images, Google Mobile Ads uses activity to deliver targeted ads, Google Play Services enables core app functionality, and Google Autocomplete API powers search suggestions.

Areas for Improvement
- Network communication has critical-level gaps that mean data sent between the device and remote servers may not be fully protected during normal use.
- Data handling on the device could be strengthened to better protect locally stored information.
