If you are doing translation locally on the device, why does your Privacy Policy say you are sending voice and transcriptions as well as personal location data to Google?

> RTranslator in any case collects and processes data that will then be sent to Google, such as: audio, the transcription of which is transmitted at a later time via bluetooth to the phone with which you are communicating, and the transcription of the audio received by the other user, to carry out the translation.

The position sent to Google is an error that I didn't see (I will correct it in 5 minutes), the rest, as I say in the readme, is due to the fact that the privacy policy used for RTranslator 2.0 for now is the same as RTranslator 1.0 (that used Google's Api), I will make a new privacy policy contract for RTranslator 2.0 with a lawyer soon.
