Privacy Policy

Last updated at: November 10, 2022

tl;dr: We care about privacy and simplicity. SimpleLocalize does not incorporate shady practices to do marketing, remarketing, abusive tracking or unethical marketing. On our webpages, you won't find any social media tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel or Google Tag Manager. If you like our work or attitude, please share it with your co-workers and friends. Thanks! 😊
