Welcome to ImmiTranslate. This Privacy Policy describes the information that ImmiTranslate, LLC (“ImmiTranslate,” “we,” us,” “our”) collects through our website located at www.immtranslate.com (the “Site”), as well as in our email communications and other electronic communications with you.

Please read through the contents of this Privacy Policy carefully and ensure that you understand it. If you do not understand the contents of this Privacy Policy, or if you do not accept or agree to it, please do not access the Site, beginning immediately. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

ImmiTranslate operates this Site to provide its visitors and users (“you,” “your”) with information about our company and our interpretation, translation, and document-related services (the "Services").  We also use the Site to provide the Services. ImmiTranslate collects and holds information about individuals for the purpose of advertising, providing, evaluating, and improving the Services.

This Privacy Policy sets forth ImmiTranslate's current policies and practices with respect to information, including Personal Information, collected from visitors and users of the Site and Services.

Personal Information

When you interact with us through the Site, the Services, by email, or through recruiting platforms, we may collect Personal Information and other information from you. “Personal Information” is information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable individual. Personal Information can include, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Your name
  • Your postal address
  • Your email address
  • Your telephone number
  • Your job title and employer
  • Your payment card number(s) and related billing information

You may choose to voluntarily provide Personal Information directly to us through various sections of our Services, such as the pages of the Site that allow you to place an order. You may also choose to provide Personal Information to us when you create an account to access Services, use certain Services, contact us by email or mail, or respond to our surveys or promotions. Wherever ImmiTranslate collects Personal Information, we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy.

We may collect Personal Information from you when you participate in any contractual agreement with us and when you interact with us online or at events. We may also obtain Personal Information from various sources, such as publicly available databases, joint marketing partners, lead-generation services and databases, entities to which we provide Services, and social media platforms.

By voluntarily providing us with Personal Information, you consent to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We also collect Personal Information to provide certain Services, such as translations. When you provide Personal Information to us that identifies or may be used to identify other individuals, you represent that you have the authority to do so and authorize us to use that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

When you provide documents for translation that contain Personal Information concerning children under the age of 16, you represent that you have a lawful basis for controlling that information and using our Services to process that information. If you do not have such lawful basis, you must pseudonymize or redact Personal Information concerning children under the age of 16 before submitting documents for translation.

Processor and Controller Data

ImmiTranslate presently collects and processes two distinct types of data that can contain Personal Information.

  • Data that users of our Services (“Customers”) ask us to translate or otherwise process for them (“Processor Data”). When ImmiTranslate processes Personal Information on behalf of a Customer, ImmiTranslate is the “processor” of the data under applicable law, and the Customer is the “controller.”
  • Data, including Personal Information, which we process for ImmiTranslate’s business (“Controller Data”), other than for our recruiting operations. This includes, for example, the information we collect through the Site and the names and contact information of our Customers and vendors. Under applicable law, ImmiTranslate is the “controller” of this data.

Use and Disclosure of Personal Information Contained in Processor Data

We receive Processor Data from or on behalf of our Customers. Because of the nature of the Services, this Processor Data may contain any type of Personal Information.

We will process Personal Information contained in Processor Data only (1) with your consent; (2) to perform a contract between you and us; (3) to comply with a legal obligation; or (4) where we have a legitimate interest to do so, balancing this interest against your interests and fundamental rights.  Collectively, we will refer to these legitimate interests in processing your Personal Information as “Business Purposes.”

ImmiTranslate and our service providers use Personal Information from our Processor Data for various such Business Purposes, which include:

  • Providing the Services. We may use Personal Information contained within Processor Data to fulfill your order (i.e., provide a translation service).
  • Securing the Site and Services. We may use Personal Information contained within Processor Data to attempt to detect and prevent fraud, data, breaches, cyberattacks, and identity theft.

We may disclose Personal Information contained in our Processor Data:

  • To our third-party service providers. ImmiTranslate uses third-party service providers for various business functions. These functions include hosting our website, data analysis, information technology support, customer service, email delivery, translating, compliance, auditing, and other functions related to providing, improving, and expanding the Services.
  • To comply with laws and regulations that apply to us. We serve an international audience, and may use your Personal Information to comply with laws that are not the laws of your country of residence.
  • To cooperate with government authorities and law enforcement. We may disclose your Personal Information if we are issued a subpoena, warrant, court order, or other request for information that we believe is important. These government authorities and law enforcement agents or bodies may not be those of your country of residence.
  • To enforce our Terms and Conditions and other contractual rights.
  • To protect the rights, safety, privacy, property, and security of ImmiTranslate, our affiliates and partners, you, or others.
  • To facilitate or complete a sale, transfer, dissolution, unwinding, or other substantial reorganization of our business or its assets, in whole or in part. We may disclose your Personal Information to—for example—a business entity that acquires, buys, merges with, or seizes ImmiTranslate or any of its assets.

ImmiTranslate will make reasonable efforts to notify you before disclosing your Personal Information contained in Processor Data to government authorities, to law enforcement, or in response to a subpoena or similar demand.

Use and Disclosure of Personal Information Contained in Controller Data

We will process Personal Information contained in our Controller Data only (1) with your consent; (2) to perform a contract between you and us; (3) to comply with a legal obligation; or (4) where we have a legitimate interest to do so, balancing this interest against your interests and fundamental rights.  Collectively, we will refer to these legitimate interests in processing your Personal Information as “Business Purposes.”

ImmiTranslate and our service providers use Personal Information from our Controller Data for various such Business Purposes, which include:

We use that information to create and maintain your account, process your payment, coordinate efforts with our service providers, fulfill your order, and provide customer support.
  • Responding to your communications. When you submit an inquiry via an online form or email, we use Personal Information to respond. Those inquiries include your questions, suggestions, concerns, or other feedback.

  • Distributing our marketing materials, promotional materials, and surveys. From time to time, we send email communications regarding our business and Services that we think may be of interest to you. You may unsubscribe from marketing and promotional emails by selecting the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of these emails, or by contacting us at [email protected] at any time.
  • Aggregating anonymized Personal Information. We perform various analyses of our Services. When we aggregate anonymized Personal Information so that it is no longer Personal Information, we may use it to create data that we may use or disclose for any purpose.
  • Improving the Services. We analyze all available data to improve the efficiency of our Services. That data may include Personal Information.
  • Completing or cooperating with audits. We perform and may be subject to audits. We may use Personal Information to ensure that our business practices and internal processes are functional, legally compliant, and aligned with our contractual obligations.

When you voluntarily disclose Personal Information in reviews, ratings, testimonials, and other public comments on our Site, Reviews.io, TrustPilot, and our social media pages, that information is available to the public. Please note that any information you provide through any of these means may be impossible to fully delete or retrieve.
  • To comply with laws and regulations that apply to us. We serve an international audience, and may use your Personal Information to comply with laws that are not the laws of your country of residence.
  • To cooperate with government authorities and law enforcement. We may disclose your Personal Information if we are issued a subpoena, warrant, court order, or other request for information that we believe is important. These government authorities and law enforcement agents or bodies may not be those of your country of residence.

Other Information

When you interact with ImmiTranslate through the Site or Services, we also receive and store certain Other Information. “Other Information” is information that does not reveal your identity and does not relate to an identifiable individual. Other Information can include:

  • Information about your browser, device, or location
  • Information collected through the use of cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies
  • Demographic information and other information provided by you that does not reveal your identity
  • Information that has been aggregated in such a way that it no longer identifies you individually

We and the service providers we use to deliver the Services collect Other Information in various ways, including:

  • Through your browser or device. Your browser or device may automatically collect information that we are able to access. Such information may include, for example, your Media Access Control address, your device and operating system type and specifications, your device manufacturer, your language settings, and your Internet browser type and version. We use this information to ensure that the Site and Services are functioning properly for our users and visitors.
  • Through the use of cookies. Cookies are pieces of information that are stored on the device that you are using. Cookies allow us to collect information such as your Internet browser type and version, the amount of time you spend using the Site and Services, the pages you visit within the Site, and your language settings. ImmiTranslate does not currently respond to browser do-not-track signals. Please visit our Cookie Policy for more information about how we use cookies and how you may be able to opt out of their collection and use.
  • Through the use of web beacons, Google Analytics, and similar technologies. We may use web beacons (also referred to as pixel tags and clear GIFs) to track the actions of users and visitors on the Site and Services (including recipients of email from ImmiTranslate), evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing and promotional efforts, and gather data about use of the Site and Services. We may use Google Analytics (which uses its own cookies and similar technologies) to gather and analyze data about use of the Site and Services. Google Analytics collects additional information about your use of other websites, applications, and other Internet resources. For more information about Google Analytics and your rights with respect to the information it collects, please click here, here, and here.
  • Through your IP address. Your Internet Service Provider automatically assigns your device an IP address. We may identify and log the IP addresses of Site visitors and users in our server log files. Those files may then specify the time of your visit and the pages that you visited, in association with your IP address. We may be able to discern your approximate location at the time of your Site visit from your IP address. We may use your IP address to analyze Site traffic and usage patterns, to identify problems with our servers, and to ensure that our Services are functioning properly.

We may use and share Other Information for any purpose, except where restricted by applicable law. If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law, then Other Information may be used and disclosed for the same purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. We may, at times, associate Other Information with Personal Information. In those instances, we will treat the associated information as Personal Information insofar as the information remains associated.

Security

ImmiTranslate takes reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative steps to protect the Personal Information it receives from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet, email, or other electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure or error-free. Please take care when deciding to transmit Personal Information to us, and contact us immediately (see the “Contacting ImmiTranslate” section below) if you have reason to believe that your account or communications with us are no longer secure or have been compromised in any way.

Notice to California Residents

Individual California Users (as defined below) may request information about our disclosures of certain categories of Personal Information to third parties (i.e., our affiliates) for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes.

As noted above, we may disclose Personal Information to affiliates of ImmiTranslate, LLC, which may use this information for all purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Because separate legal entities are considered “third parties” for purposes of California Civil Code Section 1798.83, and certain communications from our affiliates might be viewed as promoting their services, we are providing the following information for California residents who have provided us with their Personal Information during the creation of an account or through the use of the Services for personal, family, or household purposes (“Individual California Users”).

Individual California Users must submit their requests to us at [email protected], or at:

Retention of your information

We retain Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed, including for the purposes of meeting legal, regulatory, accounting, and reporting requirements. 

To determine the amount of time we will retain your Personal Information, we will consider the length of time you have maintained an account or used our Services, the purposes for which we have collected and retained the information, the nature and sensitivity of the information we have retained, the legal obligations we may be subject to, and whether retention is necessary to protect our legal position.

Third party content and services

Some of the content and functionality on the Site and Service may be provided by third parties that are not affiliated with ImmiTranslate. For example, we may allow you to view reviews on Reviews.io or TrustPilot through the Site, and we may link to third party websites through the Site. These third parties may collect or receive certain information about your use of the Site and Services, through the use of cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies.

This Privacy Policy applies only to our collection, use, and retention of information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. Any links from this Site do not imply that ImmiTranslate endorses or has reviewed third party websites. We suggest contacting those third parties directly for information on their privacy policies.

Use of the Site and Services by Children

ImmiTranslate does not knowingly collect, store, or process Personal Information about children under the age of 16 without a lawful basis. The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16.  If you are under the age of 16, please do not create an account, place an order, or submit any Personal Information through the Site.

We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information on this Site. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided Personal Data to ImmiTranslate through this Site, please contact us, and we will make efforts to delete that information from our databases.

Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have offices or in which we have contracted with service providers. When you use the Site and Services, you understand that your information will be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States. These countries may have data privacy rules and regulations that are different from those of your country. 

Various courts, law enforcement and regulatory entities, and other authorities may be entitled to access your Personal Information. Those courts, entities, and authorities may be located in countries that have data privacy rules and regulations that are less stringent that those in your home country. For certain transfers of Personal Information to countries that offer a lower level of protection that the EU, we will implement contractual safeguards approved by the European Commission to protect your information.
