Pinsgo is a macOS application that helps users translate or adjust selected text, typed text, and text recognized from screenshots. This Privacy Policy explains what information Pinsgo processes, when that information leaves your device, and what choices you have.

1. Who we are

Pinsgo is provided by the developer of the Pinsgo app.

2. Information we process

Pinsgo processes different categories of information depending on which features you use.

A. Text you choose to translate or adjust

This may include:

• text you type or paste into the app for translation or text adjustment;
• text you select in other apps when using selection-based translation or adjustment; and
• text recognized from screenshots when using screenshot/OCR translation or adjustment.

Pinsgo processes this text to generate a translation, rewrite, or text-adjustment result. Depending on the feature and source you use, this text may be processed on-device, sent to Pinsgo's built-in cloud service, or sent to a third-party cloud translation or text service that you choose to use.

B. Screenshots used for OCR

If you use screenshot translation or adjustment, Pinsgo may capture a user-selected portion of your screen and temporarily create a local image file so macOS/Vision OCR can recognize text from it. These temporary image files are deleted after processing.

C. Configuration and secrets

Pinsgo may store the following locally on your device:

• your selected translation source and language preferences;
• feature settings such as hotkeys and UI preferences;
• custom API endpoints or related configuration you set; and
