DATA SECURITY POLICY
SDL and its subcontractors will maintain appropriate security procedures and practices related to the operation of the Hosting Infrastructure in order to safeguard the Software against unauthorized access and to maintain the privacy of your Data in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement and applicable law. Such security procedures and practices shall include the items listed below:
- Physical Security. SDL will store and operate the SOC 2 & 3 secure Hosting Infrastructure in an environment equipped with 24-hour onsite security and monitoring, security alarm systems and other reasonable measures designed to protect the security and integrity thereof. SDL or its suppliers will have staff on duty at all times capable of identifying, categorizing and responding to a security incident.
- Firewalls. SDL will utilize the defacto industrial F5 Firewall with only port 80 and 443 open for SSL connection (a 256bit encryption system) to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to the Hosting Infrastructure.
- Vulnerability Threat Assessment. From time to time, SDL will use third-party vendors to perform security audits to identify issues with its Hosting Infrastructure components that could result in access vulnerabilities. SDL will respond to identified vulnerabilities with appropriate actions.
- Intrusion Detection. SDL will deploy a monitoring system or service intended to detect abnormal network traffic that would indicate a potential intrusion into the Hosting Infrastructure by unauthorized users for purposes of interrupting services or accessing data. The intrusion detection service will be monitored at all times by knowledgeable security personnel and appropriate procedures for dealing with an intrusion will be maintained.
- Virus Scanning. SDL does not use virus scan for Linux based systems. For avoidance of doubt, SDL does not execute as code translation input provided by you.
- Data Encryption. Your Data will be encrypted when stored in the Hosting Infrastructure database. Authorized Users will only be permitted to connect to the Hosting Infrastructure using secure web browsers supporting string encryption (e.g., at least 128 bit).
- Security of own network. You are responsible for the security of your own networks, machines and accounts, including, without limitation, maintaining confidentiality of password and account information. SDL will assume neither responsibility nor accountability for failures or breach of your imposed protective measures, whether implied or actual. Abuse that occurs as a result of your compromised system or account, such as when a system becomes infected with a worm or Trojan horse program as a result of an Internet download or the opening of an email attachment, may result in suspension of services or account access by SDL.
- Internet Security. Because the Internet is an inherently open and insecure means of communication, any Data or information a user transmits over the Internet may be susceptible to interception and alteration. SDL makes no guarantee regarding, and assumes no liability for, the security and integrity of any Data or information you transmit over the Internet, including any Data or information transmitted via any server designated as "secure". You should not have an expectation of privacy in any content, including accounts of files transmitted through the internet.
PRIVACY POLICY
The following privacy policy provides you with clear information about what data this Service gathers and how it will be used. We believe that SDL currently has policies in place which conform to privacy regulations in various regions outside the U.S. This policy is intended to supplement, not replace, those policies. Further investigation for specific regions outside the U.S. may be required. If you have entered into an agreement to use our services, the terms of that agreement govern the use and disclosure of the information and materials you submit to us through those services. The agreement prevails in the event of any inconsistencies between the agreement and the following policy. The SDL plc privacy policy, located at http://www.sdl.com/aboutus/privacypolicy.html, describes how SDL uses your information when you use SDL's websites, products and services. This SDL Language Cloud Translation Software privacy policy describes practices specific to this website and the Service provided hereunder.
1. Information SDL collects when you use SDL Language Cloud.
- Personal information you provide: SDL plc will as data controller collect information required for creating an account to use the Service and payment information, such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, credit card number etc.
- Anonymous Information: Anonymous information does not personally identify you. It may be voluntarily provided or automatically collected, including log information, browser and device information, information gathered by cookies, general statistical information, etc.
- Order content: SDL plc will process information submitted or generated as part of an order, such as source material, corresponding translations, or other similar information as data processor only. For any personal data contained in the source material, the customer will be the data controller.
2. How SDL plc may use the information
- To personalize your experience: Personalization may include delivering content targeted to your interests, such as targeted banners, new services and promotions.
- To process your transactions and orders.
- For contact and notification: This may include sending newsletters, marketing or other promotional materials.
- Auditing and conflict resolution: This may include contacting users in connection with inappropriate use of SDL products and services, non-compliance with any Terms and Conditions of use, or in connection with a complaint filed by another user.
- For developing, operating and improving SDL's products and services: This may include contacting users to participate in market research and/or the collection of certain anonymous statistics and data to improve the user experience
3. How SDL plc may use the source material
- To provide the services ordered: This may include storing source material to the extent needed during the human translation process. SDL represents that during the machine translation process none of the source material will be needed, stored or used in SDL's Translation Engines, except for term dictionaries, which will be stored securely.
- Training of SDL Translation Machines: SDL only uses data available in the public domain and the data used is never reproduced in its original form. The MT vertical engine is created from a derivative of the original parallel segments data. The data is neutralized before the vertical is created to remove product names and other client-specific references thereby maintaining neutrality.
4. Security
- SDL will take reasonable efforts to safeguard your information from unauthorized access.
- Source material will not be disclosed to third parties. Your term dictionaries are for your personal use only and are not shared with other users using SDL Language Cloud.
- SDL may provide access to your information if SDL plc believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) comply with any applicable law, regulation or legal process, (2) detect or prevent fraud, and (3) address security or technical issues.
Our privacy policy may change over time. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page. Our privacy practices are described in the full privacy policy located at http://www.sdl.com/aboutus/privacypolicy.html.
