Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition. Typically, the written framework contract/written agreement contains non-disclosure and non- competition provisions binding upon the Translator/Reviser. When determining the expected level of confidentiality, it shall be taken into account that, as a mediated service provider, the Translator/Reviser has limited knowledge concerning the business interests and risks of the Language Service Provider and its clients. For this reason, the Translator/Reviser shall also proceed with due care in this respect during the performance of the agreement, fully aware that the translation activity carries multiple risks with respect to confidentiality (confidential information of the Language Service Provider’s client learned from the translatable documents, the business relationship between the Language Service Provider and its client, workflows, resources and prices of the Language Service Provider, etc.). Based on the general requirements of clients ordering the translation services, in the context of confidentiality the Translator/Reviser may be reasonably required to delete from their computers all materials pertaining to the assignment after delivery has been completed. It may also be justified to prohibit the complete or partial copying of the source text into online tools, since the operator of the online tool may, in certain cases, acquire ownership of such content. The Translator/Reviser shall also make sure not to disclose any information regarding their work in personal communications or in online media that enable the identification of the Language Service Provider, its client and/or the content of the assignment.
