A document at the heart of your legal obligations
A privacy policy is much more than just an administrative document. It reflects your commitment to complying with regulations on the protection of personal data, both for your customers and for your partners and employees. If you do business abroad, or have a cross-border contractual relationship, translating it becomes a must. But not just any way.
Why you can't improvise a legal translation
This type of document contains precise references to national and international legislation: RGPD, CCPA, LGPD... It is therefore essential not to limit yourself to a literal translation. For example, the notions of explicit consent, data controller or retention period have terminological equivalents that vary from one legal system to another.
An erroneous or approximate translation can mislead your interlocutors, create legal grey areas, or even weaken your position in a dispute. Clarity and faithfulness to the legal framework must remain your top priorities.
A concrete example: compliance with a foreign authority
A Paris-based law firm, supported by Legal 230, needed to submit a Dutch translation of its privacy policy to a Belgian administrative authority, as part of a local partnership. Thanks to a legal translation adapted to the terms of Belgian law, the firm was able to prove its compliance and avoid any contractual blockage. Without this precision, the interpretation of the clauses could have been problematic.
Translation and intellectual property: an often overlooked link
The privacy policy also contains sensitive information on the management of databases, customer files and proprietary technologies. This information is, directly or indirectly, intellectual property. That's why we need to be extra vigilant when translating it, to avoid any loopholes that could expose your intangible assets.
