Are AI translations GDPR-compliant?

AI translations can be GDPR-compliant if data is processed securely. Important factors include no training with customer data, EU servers, a data processing agreement (DPA) and high security standards.

Yes – provided that the AI translation solution used meets the requirements of the GDPR.

It is not artificial intelligence itself that matters, but how company data is stored, processed and protected. Especially when dealing with confidential content, companies should focus on a transparent data protection strategy and a secure infrastructure.

What companies should consider:

  • No AI training with customer data: Company data should not be used to train public or external AI models without consent.
  • Server location within the EU: Processing should ideally take place in European data centres or under demonstrably GDPR-compliant conditions.
  • Data processing agreement (DPA): The provider should provide a legally compliant data processing agreement.
  • High security standards: Encrypted data transmission, together with a role- and permission-based access model, helps to effectively protect confidential company data.
