It is unclear whether Google Translate tracks the translations made by individual users. Google's Cloud Translation API, which is a paid translation integration, has a privacy policy that provides higher levels of privacy, but it is unclear if the same policy applies to Google Translate, which is offered free of charge. There are concerns that the content entered into the Google Translate entry field may be indexed by the search engine and shown to other users. Additionally, by using Gmail, Docs, or Google's free online translation tool, users have entitled Google to use their content and have accepted to give up all rights to the privacy of their information.
