Security & Privacy

Your clients' data, protected

Nataly SLP is built for Canadian speech-language pathologists who handle sensitive clinical information every day. Client records are stored in Canada, identifiers recorded in the file are replaced by codes before any text reaches the AI, families consent per file to AI use and recording, and your records stay under your control, exportable anytime. This page explains exactly how, in plain language.

Your client records are stored in Canada

Client records (the database and files) are stored in Canada, in a Canadian data centre in the Montréal area (ca-central-1 region). The application server that runs Nataly and the AI services are in the United States, and the consent form families sign says so. Where records physically live matters, to your professional obligations and to the families who trust you with their information.

What the AI sees — and what it doesn't

Before any text reaches the AI, Nataly replaces the identifiers recorded in the client file with codes. The AI works with the clinical content, not your client's identity. Real names are restored in the answer, for you, the therapist.

Your note

Léa Tremblay made clear progress on /r/ today. Call her mother, Julie Tremblay, at (514) 555-0192 or write to m.tremblay@email.com to schedule the follow-up.

What the AI receives

[CLIENT] made clear progress on /r/ today. Call her mother, [PARENT], at [PHONE_1] or write to [EMAIL_1] to schedule the follow-up.

  • Names of the client, parents, other contacts and siblings who are clients become codes such as [CLIENT] and [PARENT]
  • Phone numbers and emails become [PHONE_1] and [EMAIL_1]
  • The address becomes [ADDRESS] and the school or daycare [SCHOOL]
  • The date of birth becomes [DOB] (sent as an age), and the health card number is coded too
  • Real names are restored in the answer, for you, the therapist

We're precise about this on purpose. The clinical content itself is sent, since that is what the AI works on. A scanned page with no readable text and voice recordings go as is, and a name that is not recorded in the file, such as a nickname or a teacher's name, can be missed. We would rather tell you exactly what is protected than make a blanket claim.

Powered by Claude, built by Anthropic

Nataly's AI features are powered by Claude, the AI model built by Anthropic. Two things matter here:

Anthropic does not train its models on API data.

Anthropic deletes API inputs and outputs within 30 days. Requests are processed in the United States.

Compliance, stated carefully

We describe our compliance posture precisely — no stretched claims, no borrowed logos.

PIPEDA compliant

Built to comply with Canada's federal private-sector privacy law.

Quebec Law 25

Designed to align with Quebec Law 25 obligations, from records stored in Canada and consent per file to how identifying information is handled before AI processing.

Consent built in

Families consent per file online: services, information, AI use and audio recording. Refusing AI or recording blocks those features for that client on the server.

Nataly SLP is an independent platform. It is not endorsed, approved, or certified by the OOAQ, CASLPO, or any professional order.

Who can see what

Only licensed professionals access records, and the choices families make in their consent are enforced by the server, not just the interface.

Consent enforced on the server

When a family refuses AI or audio recording, Nataly blocks those features for that client on the server.

Audio deleted after transcription

Session audio is transcribed by AssemblyAI, in the United States, and deleted there once the transcript is saved.

No client logins

Clients and families do not have accounts. Only licensed professionals access records.

Encrypted everywhere

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Your records stay yours

Your clinical files belong to you, not to us. Export your records anytime — if you ever leave, your files go with you. That control is there to support you in meeting the record-keeping obligations that come with your professional practice, whether you are a member of the OOAQ, CASLPO, or another order.

  • Export your records anytime
  • You keep full control of your clinical files
  • Supports your professional record-keeping obligations
