# What do I have to consider if my translation texts may contain confidential information?

* [ ] You may want to not use the [CDN](/whats-inside/cdn-content-delivery-network.md) publish feature by disabling the auto publish mode and [bundling](/more/general-questions/do-i-have-to-use-the-locize-cdn-or-can-i-host-bundle-the-translations-directly.md) or self hosting the translations.
* [ ] Alternatively, you may want to use the private publish option, which only enables downloads using an [API](/integration/api.md) key - so the translations are not publicly accessible. 
* [ ] You may want to disable the [machine translation](/whats-inside/auto-machine-translation.md) functionality.
* [ ] You may not use any translation [ordering service](/guides-tips-and-tricks/working-with-translators.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
On system level all your data (also your translation resources) are encrypted at transit and at rest. All the data is stored in Ireland. If you use the CDN functionality the published translations are additionally stored in the United States *(if necessary, only a few selected locize employees have a possibility with secure access to these data stores)* and on Edge-Locations all over the world.
