1. Introduction
Welcome to Rana Translations. Since I am a solo translator, whenever you see “I”, “me”, or “my” in these terms, it refers directly to me, the owner and operator of the site. The term “the site” refers to Rana Translations.
By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Where required by applicable law, your consent will be requested before certain cookies or similar technologies are used.
I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting any personal data you share while reading my translations. This Privacy Policy explains what information my website collects, how it is used, and how it is protected.
By using https://ranatranslations.com/, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. What Information I Collect and Why
As a solo translator running a blog, I only collect the minimum amount of data necessary to keep the website running smoothly and to understand what novels my readers enjoy most.
-
Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, WordPress collects the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.
-
Cookies: If you leave a comment on my site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
-
Website Preferences: My site utilizes cookies to remember your reading preferences (such as Dark Mode or specific font sizes) to ensure a seamless reading experience.
3. Third-Party Services
This website may use Google AdSense and other advertising partners to display advertisements. These providers may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device information, browser information, and similar technologies to serve, personalise, measure, and report on advertisements, subject to the visitor’s consent choices and applicable law.
-
Google Analytics (GA4): Google Analytics may collect information such as approximate location, device and browser details, pages visited, interactions with the site, and truncated or otherwise processed IP-related information, depending on my configuration and the visitor’s consent choices. I use these reports to understand aggregate site usage rather than to identify individual readers. Analytics data is retained according to the retention settings configured in my Google Analytics account. These settings may be updated from time to time.
-
External Links (Patreon & Selar): My website contains links to external platforms like Patreon (for advanced chapters) and Selar (for tips). I do not process payments or collect financial data directly on Rana Translations. If you choose to support me, your transaction and personal data will be handled entirely by Patreon or Selar under their respective privacy policies.
Where applicable, I process information based on consent, legitimate interests in operating and securing the website, performance of requested services, and compliance with legal obligations.
Some service providers may process data in countries other than the visitor’s country of residence. Where required, those providers rely on recognised transfer safeguards or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
Children’s privacy
Rana Translations is not directed specifically to children, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the age at which parental consent is required under applicable law
4. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
Personal data is processed only where necessary to operate the website, improve the reading experience, respond to user requests, comply with legal obligations, or where you have provided consent (such as accepting cookies where required).
5. How Long I Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so WordPress can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. Data collected by Google Analytics is retained according to Google’s standard data retention periods (typically 14 months before automatically deleting).
6. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data held about you, including any data you have provided to me. You can also request that I erase any personal data held about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
