When evaluating cloud storage solutions, understanding data sovereignty vs data residency in Canada is crucial. While data residency ensures your data is physically stored in Canada, it doesn’t guarantee that your data is protected from foreign legal access.
Data sovereignty goes further. It means your data is governed solely by Canadian law, free from the reach of foreign jurisdictions such as the U.S. CLOUD Act. This distinction is essential for businesses in regulated industries, government, education, or any organization concerned with privacy compliance.
