Policy for Handling Requests
1. Required Review of Legality
All requests from law enforcement and public authorities undergo mandatory legal review to ensure:
- Proper Authority: The requesting authority has jurisdiction and legal standing to make the request
- Valid Legal Basis: The request is supported by appropriate legal process (warrant, subpoena, court order, etc.)
- Scope Appropriateness: The request is not overly broad and is limited to specific, relevant information
- Procedural Compliance: The request follows proper legal procedures and requirements
- Compliance with Data Protection Laws: The request complies with GDPR (for EU data subjects), CCPA (for California residents), and other applicable privacy laws
Review Process:
- Initial legal sufficiency review by designated data protection officer
- Verification of requesting authority's identity and jurisdiction
- Assessment of legal basis and scope of request
- External legal counsel consultation for complex or novel requests
- Written determination of whether request meets legal standards
2. Provisions for Challenging Unlawful Requests
We reserve the right to challenge requests that we believe are unlawful, overly broad, or procedurally deficient:
- Legal Challenge: We may file motions to quash, narrow, or otherwise challenge problematic requests in appropriate courts
- Negotiation: We work with requesting authorities to narrow overly broad requests to the minimum necessary scope
- Delay Response: If a request lacks proper legal foundation, we may refuse to comply until adequate legal process is provided
- International Considerations: We assess whether cross-border requests comply with mutual legal assistance treaties (MLATs) and international data transfer requirements
- User Rights Protection: We consider user rights under applicable data protection laws and may challenge requests that violate those rights
Grounds for Challenge:
- Lack of proper legal authority or jurisdiction
- Insufficient legal basis (e.g., invalid warrant)
- Overly broad scope or fishing expedition
- Violation of user privacy rights under GDPR, CCPA, or other laws
- Failure to follow proper procedural requirements
- International requests lacking proper MLAT compliance
- Requests that would violate EU data protection laws
3. Documentation Requirements
We maintain comprehensive documentation of all law enforcement requests and our responses:
- Request Details: Date received, requesting authority, type of legal process, scope of request
- Legal Analysis: Our assessment of the request's legal validity and basis for compliance or rejection
- Response Documentation: What data (if any) was provided, date of response, and justification
- Legal Reasoning: Detailed explanation of legal analysis, including applicable statutes and case law
- Actors Involved: Identity of requesting officers, internal reviewers, and external counsel (if consulted)
- User Notification: Whether and when the affected user was notified (unless prohibited by law)
- Challenge Actions: Any motions filed, negotiations conducted, or other challenge efforts
Record Retention:
All request documentation is retained for a minimum of 7 years in secure, encrypted storage with restricted access. Records include:
- Complete copies of all request documents and legal process
- Internal communications and legal analysis memoranda
- Correspondence with requesting authorities
- Documentation of data disclosed (if any)
- User notification records and any gag order documentation
Types of Data We May Disclose
Social Dance Network collects minimal user data. In response to valid legal requests, we may disclose:
Available User Data:
- Basic account information (name, email address from Facebook)
- Facebook user ID and profile picture URL
- Account creation date and last login date
- User preferences and settings
- Saved events and favorites (event IDs only)
- Usage data and analytics (anonymized where possible)
- IP address logs (if maintained)
- Push notification subscription data
⚠️ Data We Do NOT Collect or Store:
- Private messages (our platform does not have messaging functionality)
- User-generated content (we aggregate public event data, not user posts)
- Payment information (no financial transactions)
- Location tracking (only user-selected location preferences)
- Social connections or contact lists
- Sensitive personal data (race, religion, health, etc.)
User Notification Policy
Whenever legally permitted, we will notify affected users of requests for their data:
- Advance Notice: When possible, we provide advance notice to allow users to seek legal counsel
- Delayed Notice: If prohibited by court order or gag order, we notify users once the prohibition expires
- Exception: We will not notify users if we have a good-faith belief that notification would create a risk of imminent harm or if permanently prohibited by law
- GDPR Compliance: For EU data subjects, we comply with GDPR notification requirements unless a legal exemption applies
Emergency Requests
In exceptional circumstances involving imminent danger of death or serious physical injury, we may expedite our review process:
Emergency Criteria:
- Credible threat of imminent physical harm or death
- Request from authorized law enforcement with proper identification
- Good faith belief that disclosure may prevent imminent harm
- Time-sensitive nature that justifies expedited review
Even in emergencies, we require proper identification of the requesting officer and may seek written confirmation of the emergency circumstances.
International Requests
For requests from non-U.S. authorities:
- MLAT Required: We generally require requests to be submitted through Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) procedures
- EU Data Protection: For data stored in the EU (our MongoDB is hosted in eu-central-1), we apply GDPR standards and may require EU legal process
- Jurisdictional Analysis: We assess whether the requesting country has appropriate jurisdiction and legal basis
- Data Transfer Safeguards: We ensure any data disclosure complies with international data transfer requirements
Transparency Reporting
To promote transparency, we maintain internal records and may publish periodic transparency reports including:
- Number of law enforcement requests received
- Types of legal process (warrants, subpoenas, etc.)
- Number of requests where data was disclosed
- Number of requests challenged or rejected
- Jurisdictions making requests (country/state level only)
Individual user information is never included in any public reporting.
