Google Translate

Text pasted into Translate frequently includes exactly the material people are most careful about elsewhere - medical letters, legal documents, immigration paperwork, business contracts - because the moment you need a translation is the moment the document is unfamiliar and important. Cloud processing means that text leaves the device. There is no confirmed lawsuit or breach here; the finding is behavioural, and it is the same category as Google's own instruction not to enter confidential information into Gemini, documented in the LLM Providers tab. The tool is free, extremely useful, and quietly one of the highest-sensitivity inputs most people hand to a third party.

Legal notice. Not verified this pass. If publicly traded: SEC Form 10-K cover page gives the official corporate address; the Secretary of State business-entity search in the state of incorporation gives the registered agent, which must accept service. If private: the state registered agent is usually the only reliable route.
