PIPEDA Compliant — Built by a Canadian Company, Hosted in Canada
Comm100 is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, and fully compliant with Canada’s federal privacy law governing the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.
Canada’s Federal Privacy Standard
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is Canada’s federal privacy law. It sets out the rules for how private-sector organizations can collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activity. PIPEDA requires organizations to obtain consent for data collection, limit collection to what is necessary, protect personal information with appropriate safeguards, and provide individuals with access to their own data upon request.
Comm100 is fully PIPEDA compliant, and as a Canadian company with Canadian infrastructure, Comm100 offers a straightforward path for Canadian organizations to meet their PIPEDA obligations when using the platform.
Canadian Company, Canadian Data, Canadian Law
For Canadian organizations — including universities, credit unions, provincial and municipal governments, and healthcare providers — choosing a Canadian vendor simplifies privacy compliance. Data stored and processed by Comm100’s Canadian cloud infrastructure falls under Canadian privacy jurisdiction, avoiding the cross-border data transfer complexities that arise when using vendors headquartered in other countries.
Comm100’s Canadian status is also relevant under GDPR. Canada holds an adequacy decision from the European Commission, meaning data transfers from the EU to Canada are recognized as having an adequate level of data protection without requiring additional legal mechanisms.
