Law Enforcement Guidelines

Snout.nu is committed to cooperating with valid legal processes from law enforcement and government agencies. These guidelines outline the requirements and limitations for such requests.

Jurisdiction & Legal Validity We will only comply with subpoenas, court orders, preservation requests, or other compulsory legal processes that are valid under United States federal law or the laws of the State of Georgia, where we are based. For requests issued by a state other than Georgia, the request must be domesticated in Georgia under the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (Georgia Code §§ 24-13-110 et seq.). We will not comply with requests that fail to meet these jurisdictional standards.

For requests originating from outside the United States, the process must be properly channeled through applicable international mutual legal assistance treaties or conventions, such as the Hague Evidence Convention.

Required Identifying Information To process a request for user information, the requesting authority must provide one of the following unique identifiers for the specific account in question:

• The blog's custom domain (if configured), or
• The blog ID, which follows the format [id].snout.nu.

We cannot process requests based solely on a display name, email address, or other non-unique identifier.

Available Data In response to a valid and legally binding request, we can generally produce the following information associated with the identified account:

• The user's published posts (text content).
• The user's uploaded images.

Data We Do Not Retain We do not store or have the ability to produce the following technical or connection data:

• IP addresses of users or visitors.
• User-agent strings.
• General access or behavioral logs.

Payment Transaction Data Our ability to associate a payment with a specific user account is strictly limited and temporary. The association is maintained solely for financial reconciliation and fraud prevention.

• For payments made with methods that support reversals (e.g., credit/debit cards), a transaction identifier may be associated with an account for 120 days.
• For payments made with methods that do not support reversals (e.g., gift cards), a transaction identifier may be associated with an account for 28 days.
• Payments made via cash or cryptocurrency are never associated with a user account.

After these retention periods expire, the transaction identifier is permanently disassociated from the account record, and the payment cannot be linked to a user. Financial records maintained by our third-party payment processors for their own legal and regulatory compliance are controlled by those entities and are not in our possession.

Submission of Requests Formal legal requests must be submitted in writing on official letterhead. For the secure submission of legal process, please contact us at: legal@snout.nu.
