In short: every translation is produced, checked and signed by a certified translator. Artificial intelligence may assist me; it never replaces me. And no data that identifies you is ever sent to an AI tool.

1. Human work, under my professional responsibility

I am a certified translator, member of OTTIAQ (No. 34551). I review every translation I deliver in full, and I take full professional responsibility for it, whatever tools are used. For a certified translation, my signature and seal guarantee its accuracy: that commitment cannot be delegated to a machine.

2. How AI may assist me

I use professional tools, in paid versions, to work with greater rigour and consistency:

• computer-assisted translation tools: translation memories and terminology databases, which keep terminology consistent from one document to the next;
• documentary and terminology research: checking medical, legal or institutional terms;
• quality control: spotting omissions, inconsistencies or errors;
• a first draft of anonymized passages, entirely reworked by me.

The choice of meaning, tone and every single term always remains mine.

3. Your data is never exposed

Before any passage is processed by an AI tool, I anonymize it: I remove anything that could identify a person or an organization, including:

• first names, last names and signatures;
• dates and places of birth;
• addresses, phone numbers and email addresses;
• file, passport, ID, account or insurance numbers;
• names of companies, products, patients, clinical trial participants or confidential projects.

This information is re-inserted by hand into the final translation, then checked one item at a time.

I only use paid, professional versions of tools whose terms guarantee that submitted content is not used to train their models. I never use free or consumer tools for client documents.

4. Official documents: enhanced verification

Civil status records, diplomas, transcripts and identity documents consist almost entirely of personal information. For these documents:

• names, dates, numbers and official mentions are entered and checked by hand;
• every figure and every name is checked against the original before certification;
• the certification statement is always written and signed by me.

5. You keep the choice

Would you prefer that no AI tool be used for your document? Simply say so in your quote request. I will respect your choice, at no extra cost.

6. Transparency

If you would like to know which tools were used for your assignment, I will gladly tell you. This policy complements my Privacy Policy and is consistent with the OTTIAQ Code of Ethics.
