How to use Taia safely

  • Use the business variant and sign a data processing agreement (DPA).
  • Do not enter unnecessary personal data into prompts; anonymise where possible.
  • Ask the provider explicitly where data is stored and processed.
  • Keep a professional in the loop: client source documents often contain personal data or trade secrets: never use the free consumer version of a translation tool for client material.

Latest developments

9 November 2026Claude Code stores approved commands containing passwords in settings.local.json

If you choose "Yes, and don't ask again" in Claude Code, the tool saves the command verbatim in .claude/settings.local.json, including passwords or API keys. Apiiro found real secrets in 1,122 of 104,185 public copies on GitHub, including 379 database passwords. Keep the file out of git, use variables for secrets, and replace any keys that have already leaked. source

5 November 2026Flaw in Lockdown Mode patched

Via pop-up windows in the HTML preview of code blocks, an attacker could bypass Lockdown Mode and siphon off your chat history, via a manipulated prompt, GPT or shared chat. OpenAI patched the flaw on 18 September 2026; Check Point published the details on 5 November. Users do not need to do anything. source

November 2 2026Message threads (beta) fall outside Zero Data Retention

With message threads in the Claude API, Anthropic stores the conversation, the system prompt and the tools on the server, encrypted in memory and not on disk, until up to one hour after the last use. The feature does not qualify for Zero Data Retention; your other ZDR agreements still apply. If you work with personal data under ZDR, only enable threads if your DPIA covers it. source

Questions

How safe is Taia for translation & localisation?
Taia publishes limited privacy safeguards. Ask the provider for clarification before you put confidential translation & localisation data into it. Limited or partly unknown safeguards, check with the provider.
Does Taia train on my data?
OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter and ModernMT are listed as AI sub-processors; which model runs per translation tier is not published (according to the provider); data storage in AWS Europe (Ireland, Dublin) (according to the provider); no training on customer data, including by external AI providers (according to the provider); ISO 17100 for translation services; data processing agreement part of the terms, signed version on request (according to the provider); ISO 27001 and SOC 2: sought, not published; British company, so outside the EU
What should I watch out for with AI in translation & localisation?
Client source documents often contain personal data or trade secrets: never use the free consumer version of a translation tool for client material. Require a data processing agreement, check that your texts are deleted after translation and not used for training, and choose EU hosting where possible. Many translation contracts and NDAs with end clients prohibit passing texts to third parties without consent, so document which MT engine you use. And stay responsible for the content: AI translations read fluently but can reverse figures, negations and legal nuances.
