Keeping Official Documents Private When You Translate Them Online
June 5, 2026 5 min read
Official documents contain exactly the data identity thieves want. Before uploading anything, it is worth knowing where the file goes and who can open it.
Questions worth asking any provider
- Is the connection encrypted, and is the stored file encrypted at rest?
- Who inside the company can open my document, and under what conditions?
- Is my content used to train models?
- How long is it retained, and can I delete it on demand?
How our workspace is scoped
Documents live in a private workspace tied to your account. Access rules are enforced at the database level rather than in the interface, so another customer cannot read your files. Certified review grants access only to the assigned reviewer, only while the order is open.
Deleting your data
You can delete a translation and its source file from your dashboard at any time. Deletion removes the document content; the order record is retained only where required for billing and certification traceability.
Practical habits
- Redact anything the receiving institution does not require.
- Avoid emailing scans of identity documents to yourself.
- Download and store finished translations in your own encrypted storage.
