OUR PRIVACY POLICY
In addition to the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), we adhere to the following Company rules:
- all translated documents and the information contained therein remain the document owner's property;
- the scans of the originals submitted by the clients are only stored on our servers for the period of time required to complete the translating assignment; thereafter they are deleted from our servers;
- we routinely send all files to clients via GoogleDrive for added security; however, no platform (especially via free email accounts) is safe from hacking; therefore, all files attached to e-mail correspondence related to a particular project (including those sent via GoogleDrive) will be deleted from emails within 24 hours (or sooner, at the client's request) upon the client confirming the receipt of the final files. This means, the files sent via the GoogleDrive won't be accessible after this time via the existing links in the client's email. The email correspondence itself is also deleted within 3 (three) days upon the client confirming the receipt of the final files. Note: we reserve the right to retain the e-correspondence where we believe the client engages in libelous, threatening, uninformed or otherwise damaging rhetoric, in order to support our endeavours to counteract any related damage to our image, reputation, or revenue.
- unless otherwise requested by the client, soft copies of the translations in any format are securely stored on our Cloud server for 4 weeks (28 days) and deleted thereafter. Routinely, the client receives a Word version of the finalised translation in addition to the certified electronic translation for their future unlimited use; therefore, it is the client's sole privilege to retain and store the complete translations and their Word versions after the designated storage period;
- NAATI has introduced the digital (electronic) stamp and signature for all certified translators; this eliminates in most instances the need for "wet" translator's stamp and signature. If required, you can print hard copies from the electronic versions of your translations at your end without the loss of fidelity/authenticity;
- where the hard copy/copies of the translations are still requested to be posted to the client's postal address, the latter is only recorded for this particular assignment; in the interests of the clients' privacy, their postal address is not recorded or stored on our servers for any possible future use, unless specifically requested by the client.
In handling your personal information, we follow the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
