MODERATORS
We might be better protected using EU services than Canadian. I mean commercial services and the regulations they have to adhere to. Non-profit run stuff like Lemmy.ca (Fedecan) is different.
You're right, maybe it's a dream to have a Canadian GDPR-like policy. I once tried to get Canadian Tire to delete my data and they declined the request. 🤦🏼
Canadian Tire has a habit of asking for all my personal details when I return an item (still in box, unopened. WITH the receipt). I politely tell them it's never going to happen, and that my personal info is protected by Canadian privacy laws. They usually just nod and do the return.
That's a great tip thanks!
Here is a good place to look at:
Neglects mention of Tailscale!
Hi, welcome to Lemmy! Glad you are here.
I don't know of a compilation of resources for such a broad set of services. It would be good to have. Sometimes there are one or two mainstream Canadian alternatives to services but they are often owned by the largest Canadian companies. An example being Moneris and Interac for big fintech companies.
But if you do some research there are some that can be found in many categories. It would be helpful to have a spreadsheet or something!
It seems that there are no Canadian owned companies that provide services that the public can register for account to use their services.
