In British Columbia, private practices follow the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), and public bodies follow the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA). FaxToFax stores faxes encrypted, records every view and download in an audit log, and deletes faxes on the schedule you set.

Law offices fax notices, signed documents and records requests when they need a sender, a time and a receipt. Lawyers in British Columbia answer to the Law Society of British Columbia, whose code of conduct requires them to keep client information confidential. FaxToFax puts your letterhead on cover pages, keeps a delivery receipt with every fax, and limits who can open faxes with access roles.
