2012 Law Enforcement Requests Report

See all tags
As outlined in our Global Human Rights Statement and in keeping with our commitments as a member of the Global Network Initiative, we recognize the important responsibility we have to respect human rights and the principles of free expression and privacy. To ensure we meet our commitments and responsibilities, we regularly review and update our relevant policies, processes and management systems. As part of that review – and commitment to transparency – we are providing information on the criminal law enforcement requests we receive for customer data. Like others in the industry, we believe it is important for the public to have access to information about law enforcement access to customer data, particularly as customers are increasingly using technology to communicate and store private information.
