How Jamie handles government requests for user information
Government agencies may ask service providers to disclose user information. We review each request carefully to confirm that it is valid, specific and legally required before any disclosure is considered.
Where a request is overly broad, unclear, or does not meet legal standards, we may challenge it or ask for it to be narrowed. Our approach is aligned with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Notifying users of requests for information
Where legally permitted and operationally appropriate, we notify affected users before disclosing information so they have an opportunity to seek legal advice or challenge the request.
If a lawful order prevents notification, or if urgent harm-prevention conditions apply, notification may be delayed or restricted.
Requests for information made to Jamie Parish Hooper
We assess each request for legal basis, scope, and proportionality. We only disclose information that is necessary for a valid request.
- identity and authority of the requesting body
- clear legal power relied upon
- specific information requested and time period covered
- whether a narrower request can satisfy the same purpose
Requests involving third-party service providers
Some services depend on infrastructure or tools provided by trusted third parties. When a request concerns information controlled by those providers, their legal process and terms may also apply.
Where possible, we direct requests to the correct provider and coordinate responses to protect users and maintain legal compliance.
Requests for information in emergencies
In exceptional circumstances involving an immediate risk of death or serious physical harm, we may process emergency requests on an expedited basis.
Emergency handling still requires credible evidence and is limited to information necessary to address the urgent risk.
