Our Canadian Data Promise

Every byte of your data—patient records, session notes, files, backups, and AI processing—stays in Canada. We use Canadian-region infrastructure from Railway, AWS (ca-central-1), and RunPod Canadian pods. Your patients' protected health information (PHI) never crosses international borders.

Security Built In, Not Bolted On

100% Canadian Hosting

All data—databases, files, backups, and AI processing—is hosted exclusively in Canadian data centers. Your patients' PHI never crosses borders.

End-to-End Encryption

TLS 1.2+ for all data in transit. AES-256 encryption for all data at rest. Your data is protected at every step.

Role-Based Access

Granular permissions ensure staff only see what they need. Owners, admins, clinicians, and support staff have appropriate access levels.

Audit Logging

Comprehensive logs of all access and changes. Know who accessed what and when. Required for compliance and incident response.

Automatic Backups

Daily encrypted backups stored in Canada. Point-in-time recovery capability. Your data is safe even in worst-case scenarios.
