ClaraDocs provides AI-powered document collection software for Canadian CPA firms. Privacy Officer: Schway Tech & Consulting Inc., privacy@claradocs.ca.

2. Information We Collect

This constitutes a cross-border transfer under PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25. By using ClaraDocs, you consent to this transfer under appropriate safeguards.
