TECHNOLOGY / TIER 2 AND ABOVE

Your data.
Understand its protection.

Before bringing your operational data into Canada Source, understand who can access it, how uploads are processed and what is retained. These security controls apply across the platform.

Access by organization

Owner, editor and viewer roles govern workspace access. Owners and administrators use authenticator verification; sensitive actions and workbook exports require fresh verification.

Private workbook review

Files are sent to the server, checked and saved in private organization-scoped storage. Review the extracted data before making a snapshot active in your workspace.

AI stays under your control

External AI assistance is off by default. If an owner enables triage, it sends table categories and aggregate counts rather than workbook rows, supplier names or prices.

Read the technical & security guide

Includes support access, retention and deletion, sharing, recovery assurance and a checklist for your first upload.
