Law Enforcement Guidelines
What we can and cannot produce · and the process for valid legal requests.
1. What end-to-end encryption means for legal requests
Because message and file content is encrypted with keys that stay on users' devices, Aureum Growth Solutions LLC does not possess and cannot produce the plaintext of user content, and cannot decrypt it, in response to any legal request. We have no mechanism to produce user content in plaintext; doing so would require fundamentally re-engineering the client software that runs on users' devices.
The single exception noted above · the Slack importer, where files a user chooses to bring across pass through our server's memory in the clear · is transient by construction: those bytes exist only for the duration of one user-initiated request and are never written to disk, to our database, or to our logs. We therefore hold nothing from it to preserve or produce after the fact, and we have no way to retrieve a past import.
2. What we can provide with valid legal process
In response to valid legal process, and only to the extent we hold it, we may be able to provide limited non-content account information, which may include: the email address on an account, workspace membership and role, account and workspace creation timestamps, and billing metadata (plan, seat count, and a payment-processor identifier; card details are held by Stripe, not us). We may hold basic security logs (such as IP addresses) for a limited time.
3. Valid legal process
We require legal process appropriate to the request and to U.S. law. We disclose non-content records only pursuant to a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand, and content · which we cannot decrypt in any event · only where required by a valid warrant or its equivalent. We may object to, narrow, or seek to quash overbroad or improper requests.
Send requests to [email protected] from an official law-enforcement email address, including the requesting agency, the legal basis, the specific account identifier (email), and the records sought.
4. Emergency requests
In emergencies involving a risk of death or serious physical harm, law enforcement may submit an emergency request to [email protected] describing the emergency. We may voluntarily disclose limited information we hold where we believe in good faith that an emergency requires it, consistent with law.
5. Notice to users
Our policy is to notify affected users of requests for their information before disclosure so they may seek to protect their rights, unless we are legally prohibited (for example, by a court-ordered nondisclosure), or in an emergency, or where notice would be counterproductive or create a risk to safety.
6. Preservation and jurisdiction
We may honor valid preservation requests for records we hold for the period required by law. Aureum Growth Solutions LLC is a Wyoming, U.S. company; we evaluate requests under U.S. law. Requests from outside the United States generally must proceed through mutual legal-assistance treaties or letters rogatory, except for emergencies.
7. Transparency
We are committed to transparency about the requests we receive, consistent with our legal obligations. Direct questions to [email protected].
