Is Data Sovereignty Important to You?

Data sovereignty is the concept that information converted and stored in binary digital form is subject to the laws of the country in which it is located. For industries that rely on sending and receiving sensitive documents, such as healthcare and government, this may be a key compliance requirement.

We speak with customers every day about how we handle data and the security features we offer. A common misconception is that international cloud fax providers operating in Australia handle and store their data only within Australia.

Let's be clear: If your data is transmitted from a server located in Australia but is processed or stored on servers based overseas, you are NOT compliant with Australian data sovereignty requirements.
