Warrant Canary

Last Updated: [September 1, 2025]

This page serves as a “warrant canary.” A warrant canary is a statement, published on a regular basis, that attests to the fact that a service provider has not received certain types of secret government legal process. If this statement is not updated on schedule or if it is removed, users can infer that the company has likely received such an order.
