It seems that these days, people are talking less and less about data privacy. Even banks, law firms, consulting companies, and others are increasingly using ChatGPT or other public AI services to translate internal documents. And why not? It’s fast, cheap, and convenient, in short, the perfect solution at first glance. But where is the fine line drawn? When you use a public AI tool, you are effectively handing your data over to a third party. They pass through a chain of cloud servers, a third-party provider’s infrastructure, and storage, logging, and access policies that you have no visibility into. Even if the service claims it doesn’t store your information, you have no control over where it goes, how it’s used, whether it ends up in training datasets, or what real safeguards are in place. According to IBM’s global research “The AI Oversight Gap”, the rapid adoption of AI has created a significant governance vacuum. 97% of organizations reported at least one AI-related security incident when proper access controls were absent, and 63% lacked governance policies to prevent the spread of shadow AI. These gaps directly correlate with higher exposure: the global average cost of a data breach is now $4.4 million, while companies that implemented AI-driven security controls saved up to $1.9 million annually. This means your data travels through external servers and environments you don’t own or control by design. Moreover, the architecture of services like ChatGPT is fundamentally built on cloud technologies. This means your data physically passes through external servers, and even with the most advanced enterprise subscriptions, you still don’t control the underlying infrastructure Now imagine that instead of this data, it was you and your confidential information. Would you be comfortable knowing there’s even a slight chance that this information could end up in the wrong hands simply because someone chose a tool that was fast, convenient, and free? This is exactly why more organizations are turning to solutions where security is not a feature ー but a foundation. At Lingvanex we put the protection of our clients’ data first. We strictly follow GDPR and SOC 2 standards, and every solution we deliver is engineered with security-by-design principles. Unlike public AI services, client data is never used for model training, fine-tuning, or analysis pipelines. Lingvanex offers both fully local deployment and completely isolated cloud processing, always with end-to-end encryption. Whether it’s a fast-growing startup or a global bank, privacy is safeguarded by default in every workflow. ChatGPT and other free services can be great tools, but only when they don’t put at risk what truly matters: your clients’ trust. So here’s the question: how important is your clients’ data security to you? And if tomorrow your most confidential documents were suddenly exposed, would you be able to sleep peacefully at night?
