In the United States, the USA PATRIOT Act allows law enforcement officials, for the purpose of an anti-terrorism investigation, to seek a court order that allows access to the personal records of anyone without their knowledge. Under the Act, U.S. officials can access information about citizens of other countries, including Canada, if that information is physically within the United States.
Why is this information important to you? Because there is no similar law in Canada. In Canada, privacy has long been considered a fundamental right and the Canadian government is committed to the protection of Canadians’ privacy. This means that your data is yours and yours alone.
When you host your data and your infrastructure with us, we store it all on secure servers located in Canada. All of our servers are top of the line IBM hardware designed for 24/7 critical operations to ensure that your service is up and running at all times.
Many other companies – even ones with Canadian offices – store your important data on servers located in the U.S. (or in other countries where it’s subject to the laws of those countries). With us, your privacy is guaranteed and no one from any country can view it without your permission.
