Privacy Policy — VS Code Extension & Documentation

Last Updated: November 4, 2026

Looking for the company-wide policy? General terms — including your rights, how to contact us, retention periods, GDPR/CCPA/CPRA disclosures, and who we are — live in the company-wide Privacy Policy at www.legesher.io/privacy. This page covers the product-specific details for the Legesher VS Code extension and this documentation site (docs.legesher.io).

Scope of this page

This page supplements the company-wide Privacy Policy with details specific to:

• The Legesher VS Code extension, published to the VS Code Marketplace
• The Legesher documentation site at docs.legesher.io

VS Code Extension

Local processing

Your source code is processed entirely locally on your machine. We never send your code to our servers or any third-party services. All translation, git filters, and IntelliSense features run 100% offline.

Basic telemetry (optional)

When enabled, we collect usage statistics to help us improve the product:

• Extension activation events
• Feature usage frequency (which commands you use)
• Language pack usage (which languages you translate to/from)
• Language changes: what prompted the change (choosing from the language picker, editing a setting, switching files), whether the setting that supplied the language came from your user, workspace, or folder settings, and whether the change succeeded — so we can tell a language you asked for and got from one you asked for and did not
• Language detection outcomes: whether a file’s language was detected or the detector declined, and how strong the match was. Only the language code and the score are sent, never the tokens they came from
• Extension performance metrics (startup time, responsiveness)
• Error reports (crash reports, error messages — no code content)

What we do NOT collect:

• ❌ Your source code or file contents
• ❌ Personally identifiable information (name, email, IP address)
• ❌ Project names or file paths
• ❌ User-defined variable or function names
• ❌ Literal values from your code
• ❌ Sensitive data of any kind

The events we author contain no identifiers; the bundled @vscode/extension-telemetry library adds a pseudonymous machine id and session id to each event.

Control: you can disable telemetry at any time in VS Code settings:

{
  "legesher.telemetry.enabled": false
}

ML training data (opt-in only)

You can optionally help improve Legesher’s translation models by sharing feedback when you change our translation suggestions. Feedback events carry no code content and no file paths; the bundled @vscode/extension-telemetry library adds a pseudonymous machine id and session id to each event.

What we collect

• Translation corrections: when you change a Legesher suggestion (e.g., “media” → “promedio”)
• Code context: high-level structure (function, variable, class)
• Operation type: basic categorization (arithmetic, string manipulation, etc.)

How it’s used

This data helps us:

1. Improve translation accuracy for your language
2. Understand how native speakers approach coding problems
3. Identify cultural and linguistic patterns in programming

Control

• Setting: legesher.telemetry.contributeToMLTraining
• Default: false (you must explicitly opt in)
• Change anytime: VS Code Settings → search “Legesher ML Training”

Telemetry storage

• Location: Azure Application Insights, UAE North region (United Arab Emirates)
• Retention: 90 days for telemetry; pseudonymous ML training data retained indefinitely
• Security: industry-standard encryption (TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest)

VS Code’s own telemetry

VS Code itself collects telemetry independently of Legesher. See the VS Code Privacy Statement and VS Code telemetry settings.

Hosting

This documentation site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel processes standard server access logs (IP addresses, request timestamps, URLs) as part of normal hosting operations. See Vercel’s Privacy Policy for details.

Analytics

This site uses Vercel Web Analytics, which is designed to be privacy-compliant:

• No cookies: Vercel Web Analytics does not use cookies or any client-side storage
• No personal identifiers: visitors are identified by an anonymous hash that cannot be used to track individuals across sites
• No cross-site tracking: data cannot reconstruct browsing sessions or identify individual users
• Aggregated data only: we see page view counts, referrers, geolocation (country/region level), device type, and browser, all in aggregate

Data collected per page view: URL, referrer, geolocation (country/region), device OS, browser, device type, and timestamp. No IP addresses, user agents, or personal information are stored.

Because Vercel Web Analytics collects no personal data and uses no cookies, no consent banner is required under GDPR or ePrivacy regulations.

Fonts

All fonts (Noto Sans) are self-hosted and served directly from docs.legesher.io. No third-party font services are used, so no data is shared with external providers when loading pages.

GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Your rights under GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other regional privacy laws apply to both the usage telemetry and the opt-in ML training data described above. In particular, you may:

• Disable all telemetry at any time via VS Code settings (see the Control notes in each section above) — the fastest way to stop data collection entirely
• Request access, correction, or deletion of any data we have collected, by emailing privacy@legesher.com
• Withdraw ML-training consent by turning off legesher.telemetry.contributeToMLTraining; future collection stops immediately, and you can request deletion of historical contributions by emailing us
• Lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority (EEA) or the Information Commissioner’s Office (UK) if you believe we have handled your data improperly

The full enumeration of your rights — including GDPR Articles 15–22, CCPA/CPRA categories, state privacy laws (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Nevada), international transfer basis, retention periods, and who we are (Legesher Inc and Legesher Global Tech Limited) — lives in the company-wide Privacy Policy.
