Can I use doxy.me in Canada?

Doxy.me is compliant with PHIPA and PIPEDA

Yes, we are PHIPA and PIPEDA compliant on all of our plans.  

Our current procedures and processes comply with PHIPA: 

  • Doxy.me does not store patient health information. Therefore, servers that store patient health information in Canada are not needed.

  • Doxy.me video calls are an encrypted peer-to-peer connection between the provider and patient, meaning data is exchanged through the internet directly between the two participants rather than passing through a server.

  • For users in Ontario, check out this comparison between HIPAA and PHIPA.

NOTE: If a provider is on a paid plan and chooses to use the File Transfer feature, any data transferred or requested will remain available for a maximum of 15 minutes during a call. This data is temporarily located within the US for the duration of the call before being permanently removed. This feature is optional and not required to conduct a video or audio call.
