Your Gmail.
Now encrypted for Canadian mental health privacy.
Curio encrypts every client email and logs every send in a Canadian audit trail. Your Gmail stays the same.
Built for Canadian mental health privacy law. Automatic encryption and a Canadian audit trail, every time you hit send.
How it works
Connect your Google Workspace
Link your Gmail account. Takes under two minutes. Nothing changes about how you send and receive email.
Every email is encrypted
Automatic encryption for every client message. TLS when the recipient supports it, secure portal when they don't. No plugins, no manual steps.
Compliance runs at runtime
Every send is logged in a Canadian audit trail. Encryption is automatic. You focus on seeing clients.
What makes Curio different
Not another portal.
Most "compliant email" solutions force you off Gmail entirely. Hushmail gives you a new inbox. Curio wraps encryption and audit logging around the tools you already use. Your Gmail stays your Gmail.
Canadian from the architecture up.
Curio isn't a US product with a Canadian flag on the marketing site. Paubox encrypts but runs everything through US infrastructure. Curio's compliance engine, audit logging, and email routing all run on Canadian servers in Montreal and Toronto.
Compliance you never configure.
No toggle pages. No manual encryption steps. Encryption happens automatically. Audit logs are written. If you notice the compliance layer, we've failed.
The regulatory window is closing.
The IPC issued its first PHIPA Administrative Monetary Penalties in August 2025. Alberta's HIA carries fines up to $200,000 for individuals. In BC, new psychotherapy regulation under CHCPBC takes effect in November 2027. Across provinces, the expectation is the same: encryption safeguards for electronic communications containing personal health information.
