Data Sovereignty in Canada

How Nimble Keeps Your Information Secure, Private, and In-Country.

What is Data Sovereignty?

Data sovereignty means your information is subject to the laws and governance of the country where it’s collected, stored, and processed. In Canada, this matters—especially for organizations that manage sensitive or regulated data like government records, health information, or financial documents.

Under Canadian data sovereignty laws, including PIPEDA, PHIPA, FIPPA, and others, organizations must take careful steps to ensure that personal and sensitive data remains within Canadian borders and is not subject to foreign jurisdiction, especially laws like the U.S. CLOUD Act.

Why Data Sovereignty Matters

For Canadian organizations, data sovereignty is more than a checkbox; it’s about:

Maintaining control over your information
Avoiding legal exposure under foreign regulations
Ensuring public trust, transparency, and accountability
Meeting procurement or compliance requirements in the public sector
Protecting citizens’ personal and confidential records
