Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how BUILDINHK LTD ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use the i18.dev website and services ("Services"). By using our Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register for an account, we collect your email address, full name, and password. If you sign in using a third-party provider (such as Google or GitHub), we receive basic profile information from that provider, such as your name, email address, and profile picture.

Billing Information

We use Stripe to process payments. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers. Stripe collects and processes your payment information in accordance with their privacy policy. We do store billing address information and subscription status to manage your account.

Project and Translation Data

You may upload or input source code snippets, translation keys, translation values, namespace configurations, and other localization-related data into our platform. This content is stored securely and used solely to provide our Services to you and your authorized team members.

Usage and Log Data

We automatically collect certain technical information when you use our Services, including your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referral URLs, and pages visited. We also log AI feature usage (such as extraction and translation requests) to enforce usage limits and improve service quality.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, maintain, and improve our Services
  • To authenticate your account and manage access permissions
  • To process payments and manage subscriptions
  • To communicate with you about your account, updates, and support requests
  • To monitor usage, enforce limits, and prevent fraud or abuse
  • To analyze trends and improve the performance and functionality of our platform

3. AI and Automated Processing

i18.dev uses artificial intelligence to power features such as string extraction from source code and automated translation. When you use these features, your inputs may be sent to our secure internal processing infrastructure and, where applicable, to third-party AI providers under strict confidentiality terms. We do not use your project data to train public AI models without your explicit consent.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data where we have a valid legal basis, including:

  • Contractual necessity: to perform our contract with you and deliver the Services
  • Legitimate interests: to maintain security, prevent fraud, and improve our Services
  • Consent: where required, such as for marketing communications or optional features
  • Legal obligation: to comply with applicable laws and regulations

5. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with the following categories of service providers solely for the purposes of operating our Services:

  • Supabase: for authentication and database services
  • Stripe: for payment processing
  • Brevo (Sendinblue): for transactional email delivery
  • Upstash: for caching and performance optimization
  • AI infrastructure providers: for executing AI-powered features

We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our Terms of Service, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or others.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption in transit and at rest, row-level security policies, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain it for legal, tax, or security purposes.

8. International Data Transfers

BUILDINHK LTD is based in Hong Kong. Your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, including the United States and the European Union, where our service providers operate. We take appropriate safeguards to ensure your data is protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
