Government Request Reports (GRR)

This report delves into our approach when addressing government requests pertaining to member data and content removal. We place utmost importance on fostering a safe, trusted, and professional environment for our users, which is why we strive to be highly transparent regarding any government inquiries concerning member data and the elimination of content.

Our core principle is rooted in supporting the freedom of expression, and we make conscious efforts to mitigate the influence of laws that may impede constructive and relevant speech. We are dedicated to upholding these values while navigating the intricate landscape of government requests, in order to maintain the integrity of our platform and the rights of our community members.

In our global operations, we place a strong emphasis on adhering to the laws that govern us in the respective countries where we operate. Specifically in the United States, we diligently respond to various legal processes at the federal, state, and local levels, with search warrants and subpoenas being the most common types of requests we address.

Outside the United States, when a government entity seeks information, we proactively urge them to follow proper protocols for obtaining such data. This may involve adhering to established procedures such as utilizing Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties or employing a form of international process called a letter rogatory. However, we do acknowledge that certain emergency situations may warrant exceptions to these processes.

It is important to note that we hold firm in our commitment to safeguarding the privacy and rights of our members. As such, we strive to inform individual members before complying with any government request for their data, unless it is prohibited by applicable law. Nevertheless, there may be exceptional cases where we are compelled to act swiftly and bypass the notification process in emergencies.

For a more comprehensive understanding of our approach and policies regarding data requests from law enforcement agencies, we encourage you to refer to our BIMeta Law Enforcement Data Request Guidelines. Rest assured, our overarching goal is to strike a balance between legal compliance and protecting the interests of our valued community members.
