Privacy compliance software for Canadian dental clinics
Find your PIPEDA and CASL gaps, work through a task plan, and keep the breach records and audit log a clinic handling patient records, imaging and insurance data is expected to have.
The privacy laws that apply to your clinic
Dental practices face a layered framework — a general privacy law plus, in several provinces, a dedicated health-privacy law.

Dental compliance FAQs
Which privacy laws apply to a Canadian dental clinic?
It depends on your province. Ontario has PHIPA for personal health information; Alberta clinics are generally under PIPA Alberta, and the Health Information Act (HIA) also applies where the clinic is a custodian under it; BC clinics are under PIPA BC; Quebec clinics are under Law 25. In most other provinces PIPEDA applies to personal information collected in commercial activity. Confirm your situation with your regulatory college or a lawyer.
Is dental patient information considered sensitive?
Yes. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner treats health information as among the most sensitive categories of personal information. Dental records — clinical notes, imaging, treatment histories, and insurance details — qualify as sensitive health information requiring stronger protection.
Do we need patient consent to collect health information?
Patients implicitly consent to the collection of information necessary to provide dental care when they register. Uses beyond direct care — such as marketing recalls or sharing with third parties — generally require additional, clearly-identified consent.
How does Canada Compliance AI help a dental practice specifically?
It gives you a readiness score and a task plan for PIPEDA, CASL and Quebec Law 25, a 24-month breach register and an exportable audit log. It does not assess provincial health-privacy laws such as PHIPA or the HIA, and it does not connect to your practice-management software.
