Does Druva store data in Canada?
Druva Data Security Cloud (SaaS backup)
Yes, if you choose it.
Druva offers Canadian storage, but you have to choose it, and it may depend on your plan. It is owned by a US company, so the US CLOUD Act can require it to produce data it controls, wherever that data is stored.
Tier 4: US-owned, Canadian regionData can be stored in Canada, and the owner is a US company.

What the rules say about this
- US CLOUD Act: The owner is a US company: storing data in Canada does not take it out of reach of US legal process.
- Nova Scotia public bodies: Storage and access must both be in Canada: check support access and backups, not only storage.
- Québec Law 25: Canada is not Québec: storage in Toronto still needs a privacy impact assessment for Québec data.
- OCAP®: Data held by any outside vendor is not in the Nation's possession, whoever owns the vendor.
