Does Canadian hosting automatically guarantee regulatory compliance?

No. Canadian data hosting is one factor that many organisations consider when evaluating vendors. It does not automatically guarantee compliance with any specific provincial, federal, or sectoral privacy or records legislation. Organisations should assess their specific obligations with qualified advisors.

Can organisations control access to their data?

Yes. Bronko AI provides role-based access controls that restrict who within an organisation can view, edit, export, or share each record.

Can records have different retention settings?

Yes. Retention settings can be configured according to organisational policies and applicable requirements.

Can downloads and sharing be restricted?

Yes. Export, download, and sharing controls can be applied at the record level, by record type, or by user role.

Does Bronko AI support separate environments?

Separate organisational environments and access configurations can be discussed during a consultation.

Canadian-Hosted AI Transcription and Records Infrastructure

Bronko AI stores and processes organisational records on Canadian-hosted infrastructure. For public-sector organisations, regulated bodies, and governments with data-residency considerations, knowing where your data is stored is a foundational procurement question.

Why data location matters for organisational records

When an organisation uploads audio of a council meeting, a tribunal hearing, or an investigation interview to an AI transcription platform, that audio — and the resulting transcript — contains sensitive institutional and potentially personal information. Many AI transcription tools store this data on international servers subject to foreign jurisdiction. For Canadian public institutions and regulated organisations, data residency is often a material procurement consideration.

Built on Canadian infrastructure, designed for Canadian governance

Bronko AI operates on Canadian-hosted infrastructure. Your organisation's recordings, transcripts, summaries, and records are stored and processed in Canada. This is not the only factor in a responsible AI procurement decision, but it is one that Bronko AI is designed to support from the outset.

Infrastructure and governance capabilities

Canadian data storage — Recordings, transcripts, and all derived records are stored on Canadian-hosted infrastructure.
Organisation-specific access — Each organisation's records are isolated, accessible only to authorised users within that organisation.
Retention controls — Configure how long records are retained and when they are deleted, according to organisational policies.
Audit history — A complete log of who accessed, edited, exported, or deleted each record.
Controlled sharing — Sharing, download, and export controls that restrict records to authorised recipients.
Public and private record separation — Separate access controls for publicly published content and restricted internal records.

What Canadian hosting means in practice

Canadian hosting means that data is stored and processed by infrastructure located within Canada. Organisations should assess what additional contractual, technical, and governance requirements apply to their specific use case with qualified legal and privacy advisors.

Questions to ask any AI transcription vendor

Before adopting any AI transcription platform, organisations should ask: Where is data stored and processed? Who has access to uploaded audio and transcripts? Can access be restricted to our organisation? What are the data-retention defaults and can they be configured? What happens to data when a contract ends? What security controls protect the data? Canadian hosting alone does not guarantee compliance with applicable privacy or records legislation — organisations should verify the full picture with qualified advisors.
