Translation often deals with sensitive information, from commercial contracts to personal data. The issue of confidentiality is therefore especially acute. Clients have the right to know how their data are processed and how information is protected. This article explains why confidentiality is important in translation and how to maintain it.
Why Is Confidentiality Crucial in Translation Practice?
Many clients don't give it much thought, but when ordering a translation, they transmit:
• Personal information (ID, diplomas, medical certificates);
• Commercial information (contracts, financial reports, business plans);
• Legal documents (charters, agreements, court materials);
• Technical data (instructions, patents, drawings).
If information gets to outsiders, this can lead to data breaches, espionage, legal consequences or loss of reputation.
It is therefore important to work with companies that care about the protection of your documents.
How Is Confidentiality Ensured in Translation?
Professional translation companies follow some fundamental rules:
1) Non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
Before starting work, a confidentiality agreement is signed. It obliges the translator and the company not to disclose the translation content to third parties.
2) Encryption of files and communication channels
All documents sent by the client are encrypted and correspondence is transmitted through secure channels. This minimizes the risk of interception.
3) Working with certified professionals
Professional translators are trained in ethics and are obliged to respect professional secrecy.
4) Restricted access to data
Only a small circle of specialists has access to your project. Documents are not shared with outside parties without your consent.
5) Deleting data after completion
Once the job is complete, most companies delete your files from their systems or store them in encrypted form only with your consent.
