Information Requests Transparency Report

Data protection laws across the globe have provisions that allow government agencies and public and data protection supervisory authorities to request user information for civil, administrative, criminal, and national security purposes.

GDPR, through new standard contractual clauses, requires data processors to maintain this information through a transparency report1. In this transparency report, we have shared information about the number and type of requests Mindtickle has received from government agencies globally, where permitted by applicable laws.

Subpoena: Subpoenas are valid and binding legal demands for information or testimony issued by courts, lawyers, law enforcement agencies, or grand juries, usually without any substantive review by a judge or magistrate.

Search warrants: Search warrants may be issued by local, state, or federal courts upon a showing of probable cause and must specifically identify the place to be searched and the items to be seized.

Other court orders: Other court orders refer to valid and binding orders issued by local, state, or federal courts, other than search warrants or court-issued subpoenas.

National security requests: National security requests include National Security Letters (“NSLs”) and court orders issued under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (“FISA”).

Requests from Non-US Governments and Law Enforcement Entities: Non-U.S. requests include legal demands from non-U.S. governments, including legal orders issued pursuant to the Mutual Legal Assistance.
