Questions
Is a municipal AI governance policy legally required in Canada?
No single law requires one. But provincial privacy law and records rules already apply when AI is used in decisions about residents.
Does using LUMINARYX™ make us compliant?
No. LUMINARYX™ maps each decision against requirements from Canadian privacy law and international standards, as a best-practice framework, and records what staff did. Whether you meet a legal requirement is a question for your own legal counsel.
Does LUMINARYX™ use AI?
No. A tool that governs AI should not be one more AI system for council to question. The engine is rules-based, with no model, and none of your information is sent to one.
Where is our data kept?
In AWS ca-central-1, Montreal. Payment processing and email delivery follow those providers' own commitments; see the Privacy Policy.
When can we start?
Pilot applications open November 12, 2026. Up to three British Columbia municipalities will be invited to a three-month paid pilot: see the pilot. Municipalities in every province and territory can join the early-access list on the home page.
THAT the Chief Administrative Officer add the municipality to the LUMINARYX™ early-access list.
