We require a warrant. We tell you when we can.

1. A valid warrant issued by a court with jurisdiction over Confinity Ltd or the account holder.
2. A Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) request or equivalent where the requester is not in a jurisdiction that directly binds us.
3. Emergency disclosure requests are accepted only when there is a specific, imminent, good-faith threat to life; we document every request and publish aggregates.
4. We do not honour informal requests, lawyers' letters, or voluntary disclosure requests without process.

1. Our counsel reviews every request and limits the response to the narrowest set of records that satisfy the process.
2. We redact third parties' data wherever possible (for example, co-contributors to a memorial).
3. We challenge overbroad requests in court where we can.
4. We charge only the cost-recovery rate allowed by the jurisdiction; we do not profit from compliance.

1. We notify the affected account holder before we comply, unless gagged by court order or where notification would prejudice an active investigation into harm to a child.
2. If we are gagged, we count the request in the quarterly transparency report under 'gagged requests' (without revealing the content).
3. If the gag is lifted, we tell the account holder as soon as we lawfully can.
