Data sovereignty. Where exactly your document goes, and who can read it
“Hosted in Europe” means nothing to a lawyer bound by professional secrecy, or to a bank bound by banking secrecy under Article 47 of the Banking Act (BankA). Here is where your document is stored, where it is processed and what remains of it afterwards, mode by mode and engine by engine.
Request a demoWhat puts a confidential document at risk
- Generic tool
An online tool that processes the text outside Switzerland
A generic translation tool processes data with a foreign operator. Any paragraph pasted into it leaves Swiss territory.
- US law
The CLOUD Act follows the provider, not the server
The US CLOUD Act applies to providers subject to US jurisdiction, wherever they store the data. Hosting in Switzerland with such a provider makes no difference.
- Professional secrecy
A duty of secrecy that rules out exposing the case file
Lawyers' professional secrecy and banking secrecy are protected by criminal law. Before you send a document covered by either, you need to know where the text will be processed.
Where your document goes, depending on your choice
Corrext lets you choose a confidentiality mode and a translation engine. The two choices do not have the same consequences, and here they are, stated plainly: this table reflects what the application displays and applies.
HomeAMYou have chosen to use third-party translation engines hosted abroad. Before uploading your file(s), your organization requires you to remove any references that could potentially disclose the identity of clients, any other related parties, or the subject matter at hand. Third-party translation engines hosted abroad may exclusively be used for documents that have been completely pseudonymized. The use of such engines for high-profile or price-sensitive matters is strictly prohibited.

The three modes, compared point by point
| Highly sensitive content mode | Standard mode with LexMachina | Standard mode with a third-party engine (DeepL Pro, Azure OpenAI GPT, Claude) |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Storage of the project and files | Corrext's Swiss servers | Corrext's Swiss servers | Corrext's Swiss servers |
| Processing of the text by the engine | Exclusively in Switzerland | In Switzerland: the engine runs there | Outside Switzerland: engine hosted abroad |
| Reuse in translation memory | None | Yes, in a memory that only you can use | Yes, in a memory that only you can use |
| Warning shown before sending | None: nothing leaves Switzerland | None: nothing leaves Switzerland | Attorney-Client privilege notice |
| Available languages | DE, FR, IT and EN | German, French, Italian, English | Up to 30 languages on the platform |
Your policy applies when the engine is chosen, not in a forgotten set of rules
Request a demoWhat Neur.on guarantees, precisely
A useful guarantee can be checked: a legal entity, an infrastructure, a certification, a piece of legislation. Here is the list your security team can compare with its questionnaire, line by line.
Swiss entity
Neur.on AI Solutions SA, Place de la Gare 15, 1700 Fribourg. A company incorporated under Swiss law and based in Switzerland, your direct contracting party.
Outside the CLOUD Act
Swiss company, Swiss infrastructure: Storage of your projects is not subject to the US CLOUD Act. The text you yourself send to a third-party engine is, however, subject to the law that applies to that provider.
Infrastructure
Hosted by Infomaniak in Switzerland. Your projects and files are stored there, whichever engine you choose.
ISO 27001
Information security management system certified to ISO 27001 since February 2024. The certificate and its scope are available on request for your supplier assessment.
Revised FADP and GDPR
Processing complies with the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), with the corresponding data processing agreements.
No training on your content
LexMachina learns from public Swiss legal and financial texts, never from your files. Your documents do not become raw material for a model.
Private memory
In Standard mode, your projects feed a translation memory that only your organisation can use and that is never shared. In Highly sensitive content mode, no memory is fed.
Access rights
Granular rights synchronised with SharePoint and Active Directory: each person can access the projects and documents that concern them, and only those.
On-premises deployment
Corrext can be deployed in your own environment when your security policy or your regulator requires it.
REST API
Translation can be called from your DMS, your intranet or your workflows, so your users do not have to leave their tools.
Three confidentiality regimes, three ways to use Corrext
A court filing identifies the client from its first line: pseudonymising it costs more than translating it. With Highly sensitive content mode or the LexMachina engine, the question no longer arises. Storage and processing stay in Switzerland, and nothing feeds a memory in sensitive mode.
Disclosing a secret entrusted to a bank is a criminal offence under Article 47 of the Banking Act (BankA), and the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) expects documented control of the processing chain. Sensitive mode gives the auditor a three-line answer: one country, one entity, one certification.
Before publication, a draft law, a report or a ruling cannot pass through a service whose country of processing is unknown. Corrext lets you translate it into German, French, Italian or English without it leaving Swiss territory, and keeps track of who has had access to it.

Frequently asked questions on security and data sovereignty
Where is my data hosted?
On Swiss servers. Corrext runs on Infomaniak infrastructure in Switzerland. The projects and files you upload are stored there, whichever confidentiality mode and translation engine you choose.
Is my data processed in Switzerland?
Storage is in Switzerland in every case. Processing takes place exclusively in Switzerland when Highly sensitive content mode is switched on, or when you translate with LexMachina. In Standard mode with a third-party engine, the text is processed by an engine hosted abroad: the application warns you before anything is sent.
Can I use DeepL or ChatGPT for a matter covered by professional secrecy?
Corrext does not block it technically: it reminds you of your organisation's policy at the moment you choose the engine. The Attorney-Client privilege notice then appears. Under that policy, only fully pseudonymised documents may be sent to an engine hosted abroad, and never a high-profile or price-sensitive matter. For a document covered by professional secrecy, the safe choice is LexMachina or Highly sensitive content mode.
Are my documents used to train a model?
No. LexMachina is trained on public Swiss legal and financial texts, not on your files. In Standard mode, your projects feed a translation memory that only you can use, as defined in Corrext. In Highly sensitive content mode, no memory is fed at all.
What happens to a Highly sensitive project?
It is stored and processed exclusively in Switzerland, and its translated content is not reused in the translation memories of later projects. The mode is available for German, French, Italian and English. You turn it on with a switch in Text and document translation, and select it when you create a translation project.
Is Neur.on subject to the CLOUD Act?
No. Neur.on AI Solutions SA is a Swiss company based in Fribourg, and the data is hosted in Switzerland on Swiss infrastructure. The US CLOUD Act, which targets providers subject to US jurisdiction, does not apply here. If you yourself choose a third-party engine hosted abroad, however, the text you send it is subject to the law that applies to that provider.
Can we run the platform on our own servers?
Yes. Corrext can be deployed on-premises, in your own environment, when your security policy or your regulator requires it. A REST API also lets you call the translation function from your DMS, your intranet or your existing workflows. The right option depends on your infrastructure and your obligations: we can discuss it during the demo.
