The Types of Requests We Receive
As a privacy network, various agencies attempt to compel us to hand over user data. We categorize these legal inquiries into three main types. Regardless of the type, our response is always the same: We cannot share what we do not possess.
DMCA Complaints
Copyright holders and law firms frequently send automated Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notices claiming copyrighted material was shared via our IPs. Since IPs are shared and no traffic logs are kept, we cannot link any activity to a specific user.
Law Enforcement
Law enforcement agencies occasionally request user identities, connection timestamps, or browsing histories. These requests are legally reviewed, but zero data is ever produced due to our data-minimization architecture.
Malicious Activity
Website administrators or app developers may report suspicious behavior (such as botnets or DDoS attempts) originating from our network nodes. While we maintain network integrity, we cannot unmask individual user traffic.

Warrant Canary
A warrant canary is a regularly published statement confirming that a service provider has not received certain secret government subpoenas or gag orders. If this statement stops being updated, users are to assume the service has been legally compromised.
