The updated terms establish explicit procedures for three new account-based storage and processing features. Translation Memories allow users to store source and target language segments for reuse; Translation Memory Generation processes uploaded document pairs to generate Translation Memories, then deletes the source documents immediately; and Adaptive Translation uses stored Translation Memories and reference documents to customize translations, with numeric representations (embeddings) calculated and stored in the user's account. The policy states that all content and embeddings are used only within the user's own account, never shared with other customers, and never used to train or improve DeepL's models. The policy specifies GDPR Article 6(1)(b) as the legal basis for processing (contract performance). You can deactivate Adaptive Translation in the relevant Style Profile at any time.
