Account FAQ

We are a Google customer outside of the US. Why does Jostle keep my data in the US?

Google requires us to tie our application to your Google domain by the process that started when you subscribed to the Jostle platform in the Google Workplace Marketplace. This process is tied to one of our US-based data centers.

 

We are a customer on your Canadian data centre. Why is some of our data in the US?

The Jostle document viewer, which is based on technology from Citrix, is not available in Canada. Thus while we keep your core data in Canada we serve uploaded documents from a US-based server.

 

We are an organization that requires all personal private data to not be accessed outside of Canada (e.g. we follow BC's FOIPPA requirements for publicly funded organizations). How can we do this if some of our data is stored in the US?

For customers that have requested this we a) only allow users to log in from IP addresses that we know are in Canada, including for phone logins, b) we store all data in Canada except for Library content and attachments to News items. 

Customers need to train their News Reporters and Librarians to not upload personal private information into News or Library, which is not something they are likely to want to do anyway.
