WLUA: Data Protection & Security in Localization

In today’s world, data protection is about more than just following the rules — it’s about doing what’s right. Personal data belongs to individuals, not companies or third-party processors, and we must treat it with the same care and respect we would want for our own. In localization, it’s essential to handle this data ethically and in full compliance with privacy laws. But how can we ensure we’re localizing multilingual content while also respecting these important principles?

Join us for a practical session, led by Iryna Lebedyeva, the Data Protection Officer (DPO) at Exfluency. Iryna will guide us through:

✅ Data Processing Principles – Key rules and how to follow them effectively

✅ Case Study – We’ll analyze a real instance of non-compliant data sharing and discuss how to prevent similar disclosure errors in the future

✅ Technical & Organizational Measures – Best practices to protect data in localization workflows

✅ Privacy by Design (PbD) – How to integrate privacy into localization processes from the start, ensuring compliance and security by default

✅ Practical Anonymization Techniques – How to remove or mask personal data before processing

💡 Example in Action: Learn how to anonymize sensitive data before using machine translation or sharing files — ensuring compliance without compromising efficiency.

Who Should Attend? Project managers, localization engineers, translators, and anyone handling sensitive data in localization workflows.

Don’t let data protection be an afterthought — make it a priority. Join us to learn how a privacy-first approach leads to better security, trust, and compliance. See you there!
