Cryptic.Social's policy is to notify users of requests for their account information, which includes a copy of the request, prior to disclosure unless we are prohibited from doing so (e.g., an order under 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)). Exceptions to prior notice may include exigent or counterproductive circumstances (e.g., emergencies; account compromises, etc.). We may also provide post-notice to affected users when prior notice is prohibited.

Like all service providers, Cryptic.Social is legally required to turn over customer data that it hosts when it receives valid legal process from a law enforcement authority with jurisdiction. The following guidelines apply to all customer data hosted by Cryptic.Social.

a. Service of Legal Process

Preservation requests, subpoenas, or search warrants from U.S. law enforcement or civil investigative agencies seeking data regarding Cryptic.Social's customers may be personally served at, or mailed to the address below. Cryptic.Social will only respond to requests from non-U.S. law enforcement agencies that are issued by a U.S. court either by way of a mutual legal assistance treaty or a letter interrogatory. Civil subpoenas require personal service and will not be accepted via fax.

b. Valid Legal Process is Required Before Disclosure

For all Cryptic.Social customers disclosure is governed by U.S. law, including the Federal Stored Communications Act (the “SCA”), 18 U.S.C. Sections 2701-2712, as well as by our own Terms and Privacy Policy. In general, we will turn over “basic subscriber” records (i.e., name, email address, and so on) in response to a valid subpoena that is issued in connection with an official criminal investigation. However, we require a search warrant issued upon a showing of probable cause under relevant state or federal law before we will turn over User Content stored on our servers, such as posts, photos, videos, documents, etc. Requests by law enforcement agencies require a valid search warrant or equivalent from an agency with proper jurisdiction over Cryptic.Social.
