We’re proud to announce that Autochart.ai has met the privacy compliance requirements across multiple Canadian jurisdictions, both provincially and federally. This accomplishment underscores our commitment to privacy, data protection, and trusted AI solutions in healthcare.
In partnership with Mirai Cybersecurity, a Canadian-based cybersecurity firm, we’ve achieved the following privacy attestations:
• Federal PIPEDA
• Alberta’s PIPA
• British Columbia’s PIPA
• Manitoba’s PHIA & FIPPA
• New Brunswick’s PHIPAA
• Newfoundland and Labrador’s PHIA
• Nova Scotia’s PHIA
• Ontario’s PHIPA
• Quebec’s Law 25 (Bill 64)
Our team worked closely with Mirai Cybersecurity to ensure we met the unique requirements of each jurisdiction, strengthening our safeguards across the Autochart.ai platform.
SECTION 1. Provincial Compliance Highlights
Each province requires specific standards for handling personal health information, consent, data retention, and access management. Here’s how we tackled these distinct provincial requirements:
1.1 Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)
Alberta’s PIPA emphasizes accountability, consent, and data security. We designed stringent controls to manage data collection, retention, and withdrawal of consent, ensuring our policies reflect the highest standards for protecting personal health information.
1.2 British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)
In British Columbia, privacy regulations focus on limiting data collection and protecting information shared with third parties. We implemented advanced policies for data transfer, ensuring that third parties comply with Autochart.ai’s strict privacy and data security standards.
1.3 Manitoba’s Personal Health Information Act (PHIA) & Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA)
For Manitoba, we navigated dual compliance under both PHIA and FIPPA, balancing health information security with access and correction rights. Autochart.ai’s system now enables timely, accurate access for individuals and complies with the province’s strict security safeguards.
1.4 New Brunswick’s Personal Health Information Privacy and Access Act (PHIPAA)
Under PHIPAA, New Brunswick emphasizes consent management and data minimization. Our team worked closely with Mirai Cybersecurity to ensure our platform provides transparent and accessible information on data handling, allowing individuals to make informed choices.
1.5 Newfoundland and Labrador’s Personal Health Information Act (PHIA)
This legislation places high importance on safeguarding health information during collection, use, disclosure, and retention. We instituted a series of controls to ensure data is protected from unauthorized access, reflecting Newfoundland and Labrador’s focus on secure health data environments.
1.6 Nova Scotia’s Personal Health Information Act (PHIA)
In Nova Scotia, emphasis is placed on detailed procedures for privacy management and the role of data custodians. We implemented robust internal training for all staff, ensuring comprehensive understanding and compliance with data protection standards in healthcare.
1.7 Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA)
Ontario’s PHIPA regulations are some of the most stringent in Canada, requiring accountability and accuracy in handling personal health information. We built and tested multiple layers of security, including data verification and secure data sharing mechanisms, to meet these requirements.
1.8 Quebec’s Law 25 (Bill 64)
Quebec’s Bill 64 introduces new data handling standards, including the right to data portability and stringent requirements for cross-border data transfer. Working with Mirai Cybersecurity, we conducted thorough assessments and updated policies to ensure compliance with Quebec’s evolving privacy landscape.
SECTION 2: Federal Compliance – PIPEDA
Beyond provincial requirements, Autochart.ai also adheres to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada’s federal privacy law. This federal compliance reinforces our commitment to data protection across all Canadian provinces, with controls that cover:
• Transparency and Access Rights: Ensuring individuals can access, correct, and withdraw their information with ease.
• Security Measures: Implementing rigorous safeguards, from encryption to secure third-party agreements, to protect data from unauthorized access or disclosure.
• Data Minimization: Limiting data collection and retention to only what is necessary for the services we provide.
Section 3: Key Challenges and Solutions in Meeting Compliance Standards
Our compliance journey involved addressing several challenges, each requiring tailored solutions to meet regional and federal standards.
3.1 Navigating Jurisdictional Differences
Each province has unique requirements, from data access rights to security safeguards. Collaborating with Mirai Cybersecurity, we conducted province-by-province assessments and established protocols that balance consistency with flexibility to meet specific provincial laws.
3.2 Implementing Secure Data Access and Transfer Mechanisms
Meeting standards for consent, secure data access, and data portability required a robust technical framework. Our partnership with Mirai Cybersecurity allowed us to develop, implement, and test these systems rigorously, ensuring seamless compliance across regions.
3.3 Building Transparent and Accessible Privacy Policies
Transparency in our policies is a cornerstone of privacy compliance. We crafted easily accessible privacy policies to provide clear guidance for individuals on their rights, including options for accessing or withdrawing data.
3.4 Ongoing Security and Staff Training
Effective compliance relies on staff training and vigilance. We collaborated with Mirai Cybersecurity to develop a security awareness program, ensuring all Autochart.ai staff understand and implement best practices for data protection.
Looking Ahead: Our Commitment to Continuous Privacy Excellence
Achieving compliance is just the beginning. We remain committed to maintaining these high standards as data privacy laws continue to evolve. Through our partnership with Mirai Cybersecurity, we will regularly review and update our policies, security controls, and technical safeguards to stay at the forefront of healthcare privacy protection.
