LAW ENFORCEMENT DATA REQUEST GUIDELINES

Version: 1.0.0 Effective Date: September 30, 2026

These guidelines are intended solely for law enforcement officials and government agencies seeking records regarding users of our Platform. If you are a user seeking your own data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

We are committed to cooperating with law enforcement while protecting the privacy and fundamental rights of our users. We will only disclose user data in response to valid, legally binding requests issued by authorized agencies in accordance with applicable laws (e.g., the Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701-2712 in the US, or relevant MLAT procedures for international requests).

2. TYPES OF LEGAL PROCESS REQUIRED

We require different levels of legal process depending on the type of data requested:

• Subpoena (or Equivalent): Required for basic subscriber information. This may include: user ID, email address, phone number, account creation date, and last login IP address.
• Court Order (e.g., 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d)): Required for non-content records and transactional data. This may include: historical connection logs, blocking/reporting history, and transaction metadata (processed via RevenueCat/App Stores).
• Search Warrant: Required for the disclosure of any stored content. Because our platform does not utilize end-to-end encryption for all communications, a valid search warrant based on probable cause is required to compel the production of:

* Private direct messages.
* Photos uploaded to the platform or sent in chats.
* Historical geolocation data (where captured).

3. PRESERVATION REQUESTS

We accept formal requests from law enforcement to preserve records potentially relevant to active criminal investigations. Upon receipt of a valid preservation request, we will take steps to preserve the requested records for 90 days, pending the receipt of formal legal process. We may extend this for one additional 90-day period upon a formal extension request.

4. EMERGENCY DISCLOSURE REQUESTS (EDR)

We proactively respond to Emergency Disclosure Requests when we have a good faith belief that an emergency involving danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires the immediate disclosure of information without waiting for formal legal process.

• Child Safety: We consider any imminent threat involving the sexual exploitation of a minor or CSAM as a qualifying emergency.
• How to submit an EDR: Authorized officials must submit a signed Emergency Disclosure Request form on official agency letterhead detailing the nature of the emergency and why normal legal process cannot be obtained in time.

5. SUBMITTING A REQUEST

All law enforcement requests (including Subpoenas, Warrants, and EDRs) must be submitted via email from an official government email domain to:

[Insert Law Enforcement Email Address - e.g., subpoena@yourdomain.com] Requirements for all requests:

1. Official agency letterhead.
2. The specific target user identified by User ID, verified email, or verified phone number (Names alone are insufficient).
3. The specific data requested and the relevant date parameters.
4. The name, badge number, and direct contact information of the requesting officer.

6. USER NOTIFICATION POLICY

It is our policy to notify users of requests for their information prior to disclosure, unless we are prohibited from doing so by a valid statutory non-disclosure order (e.g., an order under 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)), or in cases of emergencies involving imminent threat to life or child exploitation.

7. INTERNATIONAL REQUESTS

For requests originating from law enforcement agencies outside the jurisdiction where our operating entity is legally established, we generally require that the request be processed through a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) or Letters Rogatory framework. We may, however, respond to international Emergency Disclosure Requests at our discretion.
