Pitfalls to watch at work

Docsumo

Documents are stored in the vendor's cloud: before signing, confirm the storage region and deletion period

LanguageTool

The extension sends text to the service's servers for checking: for documents with trade secrets check your company policy or use a corporate plan with processing in Europe
Accounting and legal terminology is often flagged as an error: add the terms to your personal dictionary instead of accepting every correction
