DeepL Pro is an advanced translation tool that offers high-quality translations for documents and texts, making it ideal for businesses needing accurate multilingual communication.
DeepL Pro delivers world-class AI-powered translations that capture context, nuances, and natural fluency across dozens of languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and Japanese, setting a new standard for accuracy over competitors like Google Translate.[1][3][6] Key features include unlimited text and document translation for formats like Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and HTML with preserved formatting, customizable glossaries for brand-specific terminology, formality controls, alternative word suggestions, API integration for developers, and real-time plugins for apps like Microsoft Office.[1][2][3][5]
It targets businesses, professional translators, multilingual teams, e-commerce platforms, and enterprises handling sensitive content, enabling scalable workflows for global communication, website localization, and secure document processing.[2][5][6] What makes DeepL Pro notable is its superior data security with immediate text deletion post-translation, no storage without consent, and neural network technology trained on vast multilingual data for context-aware results that outperform word-for-word translators, all at cost-efficient pricing.[1][2][3][5]

DeepL explicitly states that user Content is NOT used for AI training. Section 3.1.2 confirms temporary storage only for service delivery, and Section 7.4 restricts DeepL's rights to providing the service exclusively. Customer Training Data is used only for that specific customer's translations, not for general model improvement.
“[ToS] Section 3.1.2: "DeepL will only temporarily store Content or Processed Content to the extent technically required to provide its Services." Section 7.4: "Customer grants DeepL the non-exclusive worldwide right to use the Content...solely in order to provide DeepL's Services to Customer."”
License is strictly limited to service provision. Section 7.4 explicitly restricts DeepL's rights to providing the contracted services only, with no sublicensing beyond essential service delivery. Section 7.5 confirms the company retains all IP rights to outputs generated.
“[ToS] Section 7.4: "Customer grants DeepL the non-exclusive worldwide right to use the Content...solely in order to provide DeepL's Services to Customer." Section 7.5: "DeepL does not assume any copyright to the translations or improvements...DeepL hereby assigns to Customer...all intellectual property rights."”
DeepL may share data with third-party cloud infrastructure providers (Section 3.1.3) but states this uses DeepL's proprietary models in a DeepL environment. While subcontractors are mentioned (Section 3.1.8), no comprehensive sub-processor list is published, and the extent of third-party access is somewhat vague regarding analytics or other partners.
“[ToS] Section 3.1.3: "DeepL may process Content...on technical infrastructure owned and operated by third party cloud providers...The third party data processing will utilise DeepL's proprietary models, hosted on a DeepL environment." Section 3.1.8: "DeepL is entitled to subcontract third parties...and DeepL shall remain responsible."”
Clear retention periods are stated. Section 3.1.2 specifies temporary storage only as technically required for service delivery, with saved translations deleted 90 days after agreement end. Section 3.1.4 limits debugging storage to 72 hours maximum. Customer Training Data is deleted upon request (Section 3.1.5).
“[ToS] Section 3.1.2: "DeepL will only temporarily store Content...Any further storage...will only be carried out at Customer's request...deleted 90 days after the end of the Agreement." Section 3.1.4: "automatically store Content...for a maximum period of 72 hours...will be automatically deleted afterwards."”
Company owns all generated outputs. Section 7.5 explicitly states DeepL assigns all IP rights in translations/improvements to the customer without limitation. No vendor claims to outputs or restrictions on commercial use are present.
“[ToS] Section 7.5: "DeepL does not assume any copyright to the translations or improvements made by Customer using the Services...DeepL hereby assigns to Customer...all intellectual property rights...without limitation and for any existing or future types of use."”
The ToS references GDPR compliance and mentions a Data Processing Agreement (Section 8.1.5), but no specific certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA) are mentioned in the provided document. The agreement indicates compliance commitment but formal certification documentation is not detailed in these terms.
“[ToS] Section 8.1.5: "Customer shall immediately enter into DeepL's data processing agreement (which shall be provided by DeepL) if Customer intends to transmit personal data to DeepL using the Services." Section 17.1: References compliance with "law of England and Wales" and mandatory consumer regulations.”
