Owned in Canada, run from Canada, since 1998.

Canadian Web Hosting has hosted websites, email and servers since 1998. In 2012 it launched CACloud as its cloud division, with its own website and its own product line. Both brands are run by the same company.

The legal terms, the privacy policy and the service level for every CACloud product are published on this site. They name Canadian Web Hosting as the operator, and they give a postal address in Vancouver, British Columbia. Questions about any of them go to the addresses on the right.

Ownership matters more than address, and this is why. The US CLOUD Act requires a US provider to hand over data in its possession, custody, or control, and says in its own text that this applies regardless of whether the data is located within or outside of the United States.¹ A Canadian region does not change which law the provider answers to. CACloud is not a US provider: it is incorporated in Canada, owned in Canada and run in Canada. Canada's own government puts the other half plainly: data residency does not mitigate against the application of foreign laws.²

To be clear about the limit: this is not a claim that nobody can ever ask for your data. Canadian production orders and mutual legal assistance requests still exist. It is a claim about whose law decides — Canadian law, in Canadian courts.
