## Hosting and data residency
All production data is stored in Canada, in a Canadian data centre in Quebec. We do not host on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. A small number of US-based service providers handle data in transit (AI inference, payments, email delivery, CDN, error monitoring); every one of those transfers is published, with its purpose and safeguards, at https://canuckt.ai/cross-border-disclosure. Canada holds an EU adequacy decision, so EU-based customers can use Canadian hosting without standard contractual clauses for the EU-to-Canada transfer.
