If you are not sure about encryption, then a printed version can be sent to us and scanned using OCR for a small additional charge. Once the translation is completed and returned to the client, all print  documents are shredded and any electronic data is either deleted or encrypted as a backup.

In some circumstances, we may send a copy of your document to a translator via the Internet. This is to ensure that they are happy translating the document to our high standards. In such cases we only use fully vetted translators who have agreed to maintain our high standards of data protection.
