Privacy Policy

Game Caption is designed to read subtitles and text on game screens and translate them into Turkish. To protect your privacy, we do not record camera images, save them to the photo library, or send them to our servers as video or photo files.

Camera Use

Game Caption uses camera access only to detect text on a TV, monitor, or game screen. Camera images are processed on the device. The app does not record images.

OCR and Translation Data

The app converts on-screen text into text using OCR technology. Depending on the selected translation mode, this text may be processed:

  • In Standard Translation mode, text is processed using the translation system available on the device.
  • If DeepL Quality Mode is used, the text to be translated is sent to DeepL using the user’s own DeepL API key. The DeepL API key is stored in the device’s secure Keychain area and is not stored on Game Caption servers.
  • If Gemini Quality Mode or Professional features are used, the text produced by OCR is sent to Game Caption’s secure Firebase backend server and processed with Google Gemini for translation.
  • If Voice Translation is used, the translated Turkish text is sent through the Game Caption backend to Google Cloud Text-to-Speech for audio generation.

Camera images, video streams, or photo files are not sent to Gemini or the voice translation backend. Only text extracted by OCR is processed.

Account and Subscription Information

Purchases are processed by Apple StoreKit. Game Caption does not see or store your credit card or payment information. To verify Premium, Premium AI, and Professional subscriptions, subscription transaction information provided by Apple may be checked in our secure backend system.

Firebase Use

Game Caption may use Firebase Authentication, Cloud Functions, and Firestore for anonymous user identification, subscription verification, daily usage limits, free trial eligibility, and abuse prevention. This information is used to operate the app, protect entitlements, and control costs.

Cache and Limits

To reduce unnecessary costs for repeated text and speed up the app, some translation or audio data may be cached. This data is not used to create personal profiles, show ads, or track users.

Advertising and Tracking

Game Caption does not show ads. It does not use user data for advertising tracking and does not share it with third-party advertising networks.

Feedback and Support

If a user contacts us for support, the email address and message content they send are used only to respond to the support request.

Data Security

API keys and sensitive information are not embedded inside the app. Gemini and voice translation access are controlled through the backend. The user’s DeepL API key is stored in the device’s Keychain area.
