We’re excited to announce our first transparency report, a comprehensive look into the data requests we receive from governments around the world. In this report we detail the number and types of requests each government is making of us.
Whilst the vast majority of Snapchatters use Snapchat for fun, it’s important that law enforcement is able to investigate illegal activity. We want to be clear that we comply with valid legal requests.
Privacy and security are core values here at Snapchat, and we strongly oppose any initiative that would deliberately weaken the security of our systems. We’re committed to keeping your data secure, and we will update this report bi-annually.
