Personal data vault Canada/Guide
AI search in a Canadian personal data vault
AI search in a personal data vault means you ask questions in plain language about the profiles and documents you stored — instead of hunting through folders. On my-id.ca, that search runs on self-hosted AI in Canada: your vault content is not sent to OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic. Combined with Canadian hosting and PIPEDA-aligned privacy practices, search stays inside the same sovereignty boundary as storage.
What vault AI search is for
Typical questions: “What’s on my driver’s licence expiry?”, “What’s my spouse’s full legal name?”, “Where’s the proof-of-income PDF I uploaded?” The point is retrieval and recall over structured vault data and files you already trusted the product with.
The sovereignty question most AI vaults dodge
Many products store files in Canada but send document text to a US LLM API the moment you search or extract. That is a second jurisdiction and a second company’s terms. my-id.ca’s Trust page states the opposite: AI search, PDF fill, web-form fill, and transcription run on infrastructure my-id.ca operates.
How it fits the rest of the vault
Search finds; fill uses. The same Canadian vault that answers your question can map fields onto a PDF or web form. Every AI suggestion remains a draft you review before it is saved or shared.
Frequently asked questions
Does AI search leave Canada?
No on my-id.ca — search runs on our own servers in Canada. We do not send vault content to third-party AI providers.
Is AI search available on the free plan?
Yes, within free-plan limits. Upgrade to Pro when you need higher document and storage quotas.
Can AI search read zero-knowledge ciphertext?
No useful server-side search can. Vaults that claim both pure zero-knowledge and cloud AI over your content are describing incompatible guarantees — see our zero-knowledge explainer.
Where do I try it?
Create a free my-id.ca account, add profile or family data, and use AI search in the product. Background is on /personal-data-vault and /trust.
