So, what's your point?

"Privacy" is not a synonym with being completely hidden

That might be because he is aware of the fact that it might be more difficult to do business with your eyes covered like a suspect in a criminal case.

Privacy first | Privacy considerations when choosing alternative tools

Post title: Privacy considerations when choosing alternative tools

Thank you for sharing this helpful overview.

Privacy is an important consideration in our work, especially when handling confidential client documents.

One useful consideration when exploring these alternatives is that their privacy protections vary depending on how they are configured and used.

For example, Proton Mail’s end-to-end encryption depends on the recipient and sending method, while self-hosted tools such as Nextcloud require ongoing security maintenance.

With AI tools, it is also helpful to distinguish between local processing and processing on a provider’s servers.

For our work as translators, checking where client data is processed, who can access it, and whether the setup meets the client’s confidentiality requirements could help us make the most of these options.

It would be interesting to hear colleagues’ practical experiences with the tools listed.
