For the most part, our ability to disclose user information is governed by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2701, et seq. (ECPA). ECPA mandates that we disclose certain user information to law enforcement only in response to specific types of legal process, including subpoenas, court orders, and search warrants. Generally speaking, ECPA authorizes law enforcement to compel us to disclose basic subscriber information, non-content account information, and account content (definitions for these are provided in
Section V of our Law Enforcement Guide) in response to appropriate legal process.
