Can we send EU customer data to our US sub-processor?
Good question. Which sub-processor, and is there a DPA in place? I’ll pull the details together for Dimitri.

01
Ask in plain language
Type your question. A smart intake assistant gathers the facts and files so nothing is missing — but it never gives the answer.
02
A real lawyer answers
Every answer comes straight from Dimitri, a Québec-licensed lawyer. The AI does the legwork; he reviews and sends. You never get a bot’s legal opinion.
03
On the clock, by plan
A response-time countdown starts the moment you submit — and only runs during business hours, so the timer you see is the real one.
