What FaxCan keeps, and what it deletes
We don't keep your documents. The PDF comes to your email, then we delete our copy, and the copy on our carrier account, within 24 hours at most.
Early access is a waitlist. You can't send a fax from this site today, and joining doesn't charge anything or reserve a number.
Documents
- Your document is held only until it's handed off to you: the receipt email for faxes you send, the notice email for faxes you receive. Never longer than 24 hours.
- We then delete it from FaxCan and request deletion of the copy on our carrier account, and we check that the carrier's copy is gone.
- Copies delivered to your email, or printed by the recipient's fax machine, are outside FaxCan and stay with you and them.
History
We keep the fax number, the time, the page count, the delivery status and the number of files (not their names). The AI summary shown while you prepare a fax is deleted with the document, unless you choose to keep summaries in Settings.
Sign-in and sending
Every account signs in before it can see anything. Nothing is dialled until you confirm the preview. Fax numbers are checked to block premium-rate and non-North-American numbers. An unclear answer from the carrier is marked "check before resending" and never resent automatically, so a fax isn't sent twice.
What we don't claim
This plan is not a health-care service and not a PHIPA product. We don't promise that data stays in Canada, we don't claim end-to-end encryption (fax uses the public phone network), and FaxCan isn't a records archive.

Questions
Is online faxing secure?
A fax travels over the public phone network, like any fax. FaxCan adds control around it: sign-in, a preview you confirm before dialling, and deletion of the document within 24 hours of hand-off.
Is FaxCan PHIPA compliant?
This plan is not a health-care service and not a PHIPA product. Don't use it for health records.
Does my data stay in Canada?
This plan doesn't promise that. The app runs on Cloudflare's network, email goes through email providers, and some processing uses AI services outside Canada (listed in the privacy notice). FaxCan is run by an Ontario company.
