What it is

DeepL shares your personal data with carefully vetted external companies that help run its services, but those companies are only allowed to use your data for DeepL's purposes, not their own.

Your personal data, including potentially translation inputs, is shared with third-party service providers under contractual controls, but the specific identities of these providers are not listed in the policy for free-tier users.
