When funds are scarce there is a risk that low-cost resources (cloud technology with less advanced security) might be used. The most secure technology tends to be expensive, as multiple layers of security tools and processes are implemented. All these multiple security layerers may not be necessary for the product to function and only needed to prevent hackers and close potential holes in access.Kirti Vasheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795076802721564830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748877443699290050.post-90401982132531838452017-10-16T17:56:55.309-07:002017-10-16T17:56:55.309-07:00About risks: What do you mean by "when the MT...About risks: What do you mean by "when the MT provider is under-resourced and unable to implement proper safeguards"? Lacking what kind of resources? What proper safeguards?Tamatoa AUDOUINhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tamatoa-audouin-89601718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748877443699290050.post-76977481062650286372017-10-03T14:52:26.241-07:002017-10-03T14:52:26.241-07:00Yes Mats,

SDL has no need to collect data for refining advertising targeting, so when they say they do not use your data I think it is quite safe to assume that your data is discarded as soon as your jobs are done within the reasonable program use requirements.<br /><br />There are always risks with Internet data transfer that are global and relevant to any app where data is transported or entered. I think many might be surprised to find out how vulnerable email attachments are, which we can assume is the most common way that translation related content is sent around nowadays. Thus, some of the concern for privacy might be a little bit exaggerated.Kirti Vasheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795076802721564830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748877443699290050.post-29003923550236108852017-10-01T12:49:10.502-07:002017-10-01T12:49:10.502-07:00It seems that SDL's caveat does not refer to i...It seems that SDL's caveat does not refer to its own services but to the risks pertaining to transfer over the Internet. And I believe the statement by Google also does not refer to the Cloud Translation API services but to their use in general of the information they gather about me as a user (e.g. to provide what they believe is advertising material of interest to me -- which certainly may be a bother but hardly affects the confidentiality of my translations). So I think one needs to take some closer looks at these things before drawing conclusions.
