The facts, claim by claim
- Where data is stored
- Canada: PHI is "stored on secure servers located within Canada" on "Canadian-based AWS infrastructure" (privacy policy, updated 2026-06-10)

- AWS (Canada) and Microsoft Azure · US company
- Customer-held keys
- Not recorded
- Certifications
- Not recorded (blank means not checked, not none)

- Says patient data is never used to train AI models. Integrates with TELUS Health and QHR Accuro EMRs. Pre-qualified vendor in Canada Health Infoway's AI Scribe Program and on Supply Ontario's AI Scribe vendor of record list.
- Caveats
- Ask which Azure region processes data, and whether it holds SOC 2 or ISO 27001 (the site shows certification logos without naming them).
What the rules say about this
- US CLOUD Act: The owner is not American, but a US company runs the servers underneath.
- 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.
