If you turn on translation, Google's ML Kit sends Google reports on how it is working. Your messages are translated on your phone and their text is never sent to Google
•
Export your data, or delete your account, from inside the app. Deleting removes your account, and the messages and files you sent, from our server straight away. Copies in our nightly backups are kept for up to 16 days, then deleted. Safety reports (which keep the text of a reported message), moderation records and feedback you sent are kept.
