Why Canadian data residency matters
For Canadian therapists handling personal health information, where your data is stored isn't just technical—it's legal and ethical.
PIPEDA compliance protection
Canadian data residency helps ensure PIPEDA compliance—avoiding risks of foreign government access to personal health information.
Provincial regulatory compliance
Many provincial regulatory bodies (colleges of psychologists, social workers) require or strongly recommend Canadian data storage.
Client trust and confidentiality
Clients trust that their sensitive health information stays within Canadian legal jurisdiction—essential for therapeutic relationship.
How Soma meets PIPEDA requirements
PIPEDA's 10 Fair Information Principles guide our privacy architecture.
PIPEDA principles we uphold:

- Identifying purposes: Data used only for documentation—clear, limited purpose
- Consent: Clients informed and consent to AI-assisted documentation
- Limiting collection: Capture only what's clinically necessary
- Limiting use, disclosure, retention: Data used only for stated purpose, retained only as needed
Additional privacy protections:
- Accuracy: You review and approve all AI-generated content
- Safeguards: Encryption at rest and in transit, secure access controls
- Openness: Clear privacy policies and data handling practices
- Individual access: Clients can access their information through you
- Canadian data residency: All data stored on Canadian servers under Canadian law
Canadian hosting vs. US-based alternatives
Many AI therapy tools store Canadian health data on US servers—here's why that matters.
US-hosted alternatives
- Data subject to US CLOUD Act—US government can access Canadian health data
- HIPAA compliance (US law) doesn't equal PIPEDA compliance (Canadian law)
- May not satisfy provincial regulatory body requirements for Canadian data storage
- Clients' personal health information crosses international borders
Soma (Canadian-hosted)
- Data under Canadian jurisdiction—protected by Canadian privacy laws
- Built specifically for PIPEDA compliance—meets Canadian legal requirements
- Aligns with provincial regulatory expectations for Canadian data residency
- Client health information stays within Canada—never crosses borders

“SOMA has been a real time-saver for my practice. The note and report templates are powerful and work really well for my needs - I can generate session summaries and case conceptualizations with just minor tweaks, if any. It's made my documentation process much more efficient and faster.”
Shannon
Counsellor
“With long-term clients, there's a real relationship built over time. I know most people would be very comfortable with it - especially if they're receiving information back on the app and they're not seeing everything else. The consent form really addresses the questions my more cautious clients would have.”
Anonymous
Counsellor
“I think what is special about SOMA is it's effectiveness... Being able to see everything in one go makes the clinical workflow more effective. The ability to have the prep, do the session, and do the follow-up work all in one place - that's really the big selling point for me.”
