Personal data vault Canada/Guide
Family document vault Canada — spouse, kids, and pets in one place
A family document vault in Canada lets one account keep structured data and documents for you and your household — spouse or partner, children, pets, and other persons — on Canadian servers. my-id.ca is a family-ready personal data vault: add everyone once, search with self-hosted AI, and reuse those profiles on school, benefits, rental, and government forms without retyping the whole household every time. Free for regular users; PIPEDA-aligned privacy practices.
Why “family” means structured persons, not only shared folders
Shared cloud folders help a household archive scans. They do not know that “Child 2 — date of birth” on a school form is a specific person in your vault. my-id.ca stores a profile per person (and pets) so multi-person Canadian forms can pull the right fields for each applicant.
That is the difference from archive-style family vaults that share document access and answer questions about files: useful for Q&A, weaker when the job is filling everyone onto the same PDF.
What to store for a Canadian household
For adults: legal names, addresses, contact details, IDs, work and immigration status where relevant, and proof documents. For children: birth details, health-card references, school contacts, and guardianship notes you choose to keep. For pets: species, microchip, vaccination records, and vet contacts when forms ask.
- Keep scans next to the person they belong to — passport, licence, status letter.
- Reuse the same profiles for rentals, benefits, camps, and school packages.
- Share only what you consent to when a professional asks — field-level, with a history.
Sovereignty for family data
Kids’ and household records are among the most sensitive consumer data. my-id.ca hosts user data and backups in Canada, runs AI search and form fill on its own infrastructure, and designs privacy practices to comply with PIPEDA. Exercise access, correction, export, or deletion via Data Requests.
Frequently asked questions
Can each family member have their own login?
Today my-id.ca models family as persons inside one account (structured profiles). Optional household invites with separate logins are a later product direction — not claimed as shipped.
Are pets supported?
Yes. You can add pets alongside people so pet-related fields and records stay organized with the rest of the household vault.
Is the family vault free?
Yes on the free plan (no credit card), within free limits — 1 GB storage and 5 documents per month. Pro is CAD $5/month for higher quotas.
How is this different from Archevi?
Archevi emphasizes a shared family document archive with AI Q&A. my-id.ca emphasizes structured person profiles plus AI form and PDF fill. See the side-by-side comparison for details.
