This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
DeepL's privacy policy explains what it does with your data depending on whether you use the free or paid Pro version: free-version text submissions are used to train DeepL's AI, while Pro submissions are deleted after translation and never used for improvement. If you sign up with a work email, DeepL may share your email address and usage activity with your employer. If you start a free trial and do not cancel, your subscription automatically converts to paid and your payment method is charged.
This privacy policy establishes DeepL's data collection, usage, sharing, and retention practices across its free and Pro service tiers. For free-version users, DeepL processes submitted content and its translations or improvements for a limited period to train and improve its neural networks, while Pro-tier users' submitted texts are deleted after complete performance of the contracted service and are not used for quality improvement. DeepL may share business email addresses and account usage data with a user's employer or domain holder under defined conditions, and transmits a range of personal and transactional data to the third-party fraud-detection provider Riskified, whose assessments may automatically decline subscription requests. Marketing cookie selection triggers international data transfers including the sharing of hashed email addresses with third parties such as Google and Reddit, and use of Pro services to process third-party personal data requires both a legal basis under data protection law and a concluded data processing agreement.
If you use the free version of DeepL, the text you submit is processed for a limited period to train and improve DeepL's AI systems; switching to a Pro plan means your submitted texts are deleted after the service is performed and are not used for improvement. If you register with a business email address, DeepL may share that address and your account usage data with your company's domain holder. Selecting the marketing cookies category causes DeepL to send your data, including hashed email addresses, to third parties outside the EU. If you start a free trial, you can avoid automatic conversion to a paid subscription by cancelling before the trial period ends.
