Every Legal Request We Get,Reported Publicly
We publish how many legal requests we receive, what kind, and what we were able to hand over. Because activity logs are never generated, the honest answer to almost every request is: there's nothing to give.
Zero User Activity Logs Disclosed
In every reporting period to date, requests asking for browsing history, connection logs or IP-to-activity records have been met with the same accurate answer: that data doesn't exist on our systems. Where we do hold minimal account information — like an email on file — we disclose only what a valid, reviewed legal request actually requires.
See request breakdownWhat Kinds of Requests We Receive
Not every request is the same — here's how the main categories are handled.
Government Requests
Formal requests from government bodies for user data. Reviewed by legal counsel; only complied with when valid and enforceable.
Court Orders
Legally binding orders from a court. Even when enforceable, limited to whatever minimal account data we actually hold.
DMCA / Copyright Notices
Notices alleging copyright infringement over the VPN's IP address. Since we don't log traffic, we can't identify which user was involved.
Law Enforcement Inquiries
Informal inquiries without legal force. These are not complied with unless backed by valid legal process.
Account & Billing Requests
Requests tied to a specific account's billing details, not activity — handled case by case with legal review.
Requests for Activity Logs
The most common ask, and the simplest to answer: this data is never generated, so there is nothing to disclose.
How We Handle a Legal Request
Every request goes through the same review, regardless of who sends it.
Legal review
Our legal counsel checks whether the request is valid, enforceable, and properly scoped before anything else happens.
Check what data exists
Because activity logs aren't generated, most requests for browsing or connection data simply have nothing to fulfill.
Logged & reported
Every request, regardless of outcome, is counted and included in the next published transparency report.
Why We Don't Need a Warrant Canary
A warrant canary is a workaround for services that can't legally confirm receiving a gag order — its disappearance is meant to be a silent signal. We publish this report on a regular schedule instead, and if it were ever to stop being updated, that itself would be the signal. The simpler reason it works for us: there's no bulk trove of user activity a gag order could even be used to compel.
What Data We Actually Have to Give, If Compelled
Realistically: the email address on your account, and billing details held by our payment processor, not us directly. That's the full extent of what a valid, enforceable order could ever compel — because browsing activity, connection timestamps and IP-to-session records are never generated in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Report
On a regular, published schedule — not only when it's convenient. Every reporting period is included, regardless of what it shows.
No — because that data is never generated, it has never existed to disclose, in any reporting period to date.
Any such request would still be reflected in the total counts for that category, within whatever limits the law allows us to disclose about its existence.
No. Every request goes through legal review first, and informal or improperly scoped requests are not complied with.
