We collect information that you provide directly to us, as well as information generated through your use of the Service.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Provide Translation Services — Process, translate, and deliver your documents using our AI-powered multi-step workflow.
• Process Payments — Facilitate billing, invoicing, and payment processing through Square.
• Communicate About Orders — Send order confirmations, status updates, delivery notifications, and respond to your inquiries.
• Improve Service Quality — Analyze usage patterns to enhance our translation accuracy, workflow efficiency, and user experience.
• Comply With Legal Obligations — Fulfill regulatory requirements, respond to legal processes, and enforce our terms of service.

Our translation service employs a proprietary, internally developed translation workflow system that incorporates AI-assisted Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools. This is consistent with standard industry practice — virtually all professional translation companies and individual translators worldwide utilize CAT tools to ensure consistency, accuracy, and efficiency in their work.

Our workflow system leverages AI technology as one component within a comprehensive, multi-step quality process. AI-assisted tools are used to support — not replace — the work of our qualified human translators and expert reviewers. Specifically, AI assistance may be involved in:

• Translation Memory & Consistency — Maintaining terminology consistency across documents and projects
• Quality Assurance — Automated checks for formatting, omissions, and terminology compliance
• Back-Translation Verification — Reverse translation comparison to validate accuracy
• Terminology Management — Glossary enforcement and domain-specific term alignment

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Square (Payment Processing) — We share necessary billing information with Square to process your payments securely.
• Translation Workflow System — Document content is processed through our proprietary AI-assisted translation workflow solely for providing translation services, as described in Section 4.
• Legal Authorities — We may disclose your information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or comply with a judicial proceeding.

We retain your information according to the following schedule:

• Account Data — Retained for as long as your account remains active. You may request account deletion at any time.
• Completed Translations — Translation files and associated data are retained for 90 days after completion, then permanently deleted from our systems.
• Payment Records — Retained in accordance with applicable tax and accounting laws (typically 7 years for financial records).
• Usage Logs — Server and access logs are retained for up to 12 months for security and analytics purposes.

You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at privacy@maydaylegal.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days, subject to any legal retention obligations.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

• Encryption in Transit — All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL protocols.
• Password Security — User passwords are hashed using bcrypt with appropriate salt rounds. We never store or have access to your plaintext password.
• Access Controls — Role-based access controls ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data.
• Audit Logging — We maintain comprehensive audit logs to monitor and detect unauthorized access attempts.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
