Security & data protection

Here is how we protect your controlled-substance records.

Inventory data, not patient health information

NarcCount stores inventory and recordkeeping information — drug DINs, quantities, dates, and optional invoice or prescription reference numbers — not patient names or patient health information. See our Privacy Policy.

Canadian data residency

The primary database is hosted in Canada (Supabase, ca-central-1). Some processing by our service providers — application hosting and delivery, email, error monitoring, and optional AI triage — may occur outside Canada; we limit this to what is needed to run the Service and bind those providers by contract.

Encryption

All traffic to NarcCount is encrypted in transit with TLS, and your data is encrypted at rest by our hosting providers.

Per-pharmacy isolation

Every record belongs to a pharmacy, and access is enforced at the database level with PostgreSQL row-level security — a user can only ever read or write data for a pharmacy they are a member of.

Access control and accountability

  • Role-based access: owners and admins manage the team and billing; staff have day-to-day access only.
  • A count can be recorded by one user and verified by another.
  • A tamper-evident, append-only audit trail records who did what, and when.

Authentication

Sign-in is handled by Supabase Auth. You control who is invited to your pharmacy, and you can remove access at any time.

Service providers

We use Supabase (database, auth, storage — Canadian region), Vercel (hosting), Resend (email), and OpenRouter (optional AI discrepancy triage). We send these providers only what is needed to operate the Service; AI triage receives variance figures, not patient identifiers.

Breach notification

If a security incident affecting your information poses a real risk of significant harm, we will notify you and, where required, the appropriate authorities without undue delay, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Responsible disclosure
