Personal data vault Canada
A personal data vault in Canada is a secure, Canadian-hosted place to keep your personal information — identity details, IDs, documents, and family members — so you can reuse it instead of retyping it. my-id.ca is a free Canadian personal data vault: it stores structured profiles for you and your household, lets you search your vault with self-hosted AI, and fills PDFs and web forms from it. Data stays in Canada, with PIPEDA-aligned privacy practices.
my-id.ca is Canada’s personal data vault and form autofill: store your profile, family members, IDs, and documents once on Canadian servers, search them with self-hosted AI, then fill web forms and PDFs with AI-powered mapping. Free for regular users. Data is not sent to OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic. Privacy practices are designed to comply with PIPEDA.
One account stores structured profiles for you, your spouse or partner, children, pets, and other household members — plus IDs, files, and documents. Reuse the same details across school, benefits, rental, and government forms without retyping everyone every time.
Ask questions about your saved data in natural language. Search runs on my-id.ca’s own servers in Canada — your vault is never sent to OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic.
Upload a PDF and self-hosted AI maps your vault fields to the form’s fields. You review every suggested value before the filled copy is downloaded or shared.
The Chrome extension fills job boards, rental portals, and long web forms from your vault. It is off on every site until you enable it — per-site opt-in, and you click to fill.
The free plan needs no credit card and includes the personal vault, autofill, and AI features within free limits (1 GB storage, 5 documents per month). Pro is CAD $5/month when you need higher quotas.
Data and backups are hosted in Canada, encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and in transit with TLS. Privacy practices are designed to comply with PIPEDA, with access, correction, export, and deletion via Data Requests.
Primary storage and backups are hosted in Canada, with no routine replication outside the country.
Privacy practices are designed to comply with PIPEDA — access, correction, export, and deletion via Data Requests, and an OPC-aligned breach process.
AI search, PDF fill, and web-form fill run on my-id.ca infrastructure. Your data is never sent to OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic.
Canadian residency with a US-controlled vendor is not the same as a Canadian provider — jurisdiction follows the company, not the servers.
The full picture — encryption, sub-processors, deletion timelines, and incident commitments — lives on the Trust page. Exercise your access, correction, export, and deletion rights via Data Requests, and read the Privacy Policy for the legal text.
Most products called a "vault" are encrypted file lockers, estate vaults, or locked cloud folders. my-id.ca is a working vault: structured data that fills your forms. The honest differences, both ways:
| Capability | my-id.ca | Typical vault product |
|---|---|---|
| Store personal facts as a structured profile | Yes — core of the product | Rare; most vaults store files, not structured fields |
| Family vault (spouse, kids, pets, other persons) | Yes — structured profiles per person in one account | Weak or absent; some offer shared household logins |
| Store documents and scans | Yes | Yes |
| AI search over vault data | Yes — self-hosted, runs in Canada | Limited; where offered, often uses third-party AI APIs |
| AI-powered PDF form fill | Yes — review before download | No / rare — vaults store files, they don’t fill them |
| AI-powered web form fill | Yes — Chrome extension, per-site opt-in | No |
| Free tier for consumers | Yes — free plan, no credit card required | Mixed; many are trial-then-pay |
| Canadian hosting + self-hosted AI | Yes — storage, backups, and AI all in Canada | Mixed; AI features often leave the country |
| Zero-knowledge client-side encryption | Not claimed today — see our honest explainer | Claimed by some vaults; verify the details |
| Estate / emergency check-in access | No | Offered by estate-focused vaults |
| Government-verified digital ID | No — my-id.ca stores your documents; it is not an ID wallet | Only digital-ID wallets (a different category) |
