Our Security Standards
When dealing with important data, security and privacy are the two main concerns.
Privacy is the protection of information so that it can’t be seen or accessed by unwelcome parties. Data security is covered at all levels: we secure data from unwanted external access, and have several layers implemented to protect against data loss.
We hold ourselves to a stricter level of security certification than the law requires for Canadian financial companies, because we understand what’s at stake. We also contract third party security firms to audit our practices and ensure that we are best-in-class.

Why Canadian Servers?
Not just for your peace of mind, but because Canadian cloud servers are subject to Canadian privacy laws.
While the US government has famously accessed the data of American technology companies as part of court proceedings, the Canadian data privacy law PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) further protects data stored on Canadian servers from such searches. This means your data will remain secure on our domestic storage facilities.
