Translate any object

Well this isn’t the tip most relevant to litigation support that I have posted, but this is my fourth night on vacation in Spain so please be patient with me.

One of the neat things the Google Translate app does is to superimpose a translation into English over writing shown on some object you point your camera on.

So if you have a package like this and don’t know what it says:

. . . open the app, click on the camera icon, and then aim for a portion of the object where lines appear together in the frame. You will get a readable image like this:

CaseMap Linking Error

Technically it's possible to link more than one file to an object in CaseMap. A path can be entered in the Linked File field:

. . . but you can also add a link to another field by right clicking and selecting 'Object Detail'

When the paper clip icon on the left side of the object list is clicked on multiple links will appear:

Having more than one link on an object has disadvantages however. Errors may occur in CaseMap on objects with multiple links, particularly if the CaseMap database is relocated to a different network.

When the path in the 'Linked File' path is updated an error message may appear which will prevent the update from being saved when a new object is selected.

Repeated attempts to change the links in both fields will not solve the problem.

How Cloud SaaS Applications Deal with Personal Data

When using cloud based software, it's important to ask questions about what the provider does with the data that it hosts for you.

The Tip of the Night for May 26, 2021 discussed Trello, the project management tracking collaboration software.

Trello's developer Atlassain does not allow data to be stored locally, so it will store the names of task boards, and other content you add. Its privacy policy posted here, states that:

"Content also includes the files and links you upload to the Services. If you use a server or data center version of the Services, we do not host, store, transmit, receive or collect information about you (including your content), except in limited cases, where permitted by your administrator: we collect feedback you provide directly to us through the product and; we collect content using analytics techniques that hash, filter or otherwise scrub the information to exclude information that might identify you or your organization; and we collect clickstream data about how you interact with and use features in the Services. Server and data center administrators can disable our collection of this information from the Services via the administrator settings or prevent this information from being shared with us by blocking transmission at the local network level."

So by default data is collected even though Atlassian has processes in place which anonymize it. An admin can prevent the collection of data.

Atlassian complies with the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union, but also processes personal data, and tranfers data to Amazon AWS data centers located in the United States. It does have Privacy Shield certification, the new mechanism for allowing for the transfer of personal data between the US and the EU after the invalidation of the prior safe harbor agreement. This certification can be viewed here.

It also uses EU Controller to Processor Standard Contractual Clauses as an additional mechanism to be in place in case the Privacy Shield is invalidated.
