Terms of service
Privacy & data governance
Data retention policy
Kotobase only retains data as long as it is necessary to provide translation and collaboration services. By default, messages are processed in real time and are not stored permanently. Minimal metadata (such as user and workspace IDs) may be retained for service functionality, analytics, but no message content is stored beyond what is strictly required for translation.
Data archiving and removal policy
We do not archive user message content. Any cached data used for translation is automatically purged. Users may request removal of all associated metadata (e.g. workspace integration details, preferences), which will be permanently deleted from our systems.
Data storage policy
Kotobase stores only necessary configuration data (e.g., tokens, preferences, and workspace mapping) in encrypted databases. No user message content is stored long term. All data at rest is encrypted, and data in transit is protected.
