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.
