Data Appropriation by Governments

The following is how we handle data requests by governments

For users

Governments can legally subpoena Netunzel to obtain your data or present a search warrant for your Data. When possible, we would alert you by a message within the system stating "Your data was subject to a legal subpoena which we were not able to prevent by the Government of ___ on ___ ". Where possible, we do not accept Non- Disclosure Agreements or gag- orders with regard to Data Appropriation subpoenas. When possible, we refuse to give evidence to Governments regarding our Users or their Data regardless of the urgency or seriousness of the case.

For Governments

We believe that providing access to third parties including the governments to users' Data without the consent of the relevant users is a violation of the user's privacy. Any Data requests from a government authority or agency or law enforcement agency must have a valid subpoena, a search warrant or a court order with proper jurisdiction over Netunzel regardless of the urgency or seriousness of the case. Any request must also include evidence of jurisdiction over Netunzel.

When possible, we do not accept Non Disclosure Agreements or gag orders. We will notify our users of requests for their Data unless we are legally forced not to. Where possible, we refuse to give evidence to Governments regarding our Users or their Data regardless of the urgency or seriousness of the case. Where applicable, Netunzel is entitled to be compensated for forced data appropriation at the rate of $250,000 per megabyte to cover administrative, data isolation and reproduction costs and cost of disruption to operations. If a witness is required to personally accompany documents, the witness is entitled to any fees normally paid by that court and to maximum allowable daily fees. If a subpoena is withdrawn, quashed or modified by the sender, Netunzel is entitled to reimbursement of costs incurred up to the time Netunzel is notified of such an action. Netunzel is entitled to legal compensation where applicable.
