Law Enforcement Request Policy Follow

Last updated: 15th September 2025

Policy Overview

RedGIFs respects the privacy of its users while complying with applicable laws. We disclose user information only in response to valid legal process, in accordance with applicable law, or in response to an emergency involving the risk of death or serious physical harm.

Eligible Requestors

This Policy applies exclusively to law enforcement agencies and governmental authorities. Private individuals, civil litigants, and other non-governmental requestors must pursue proper legal channels.

Legal Process Required

RedGIFs requires valid and binding legal process before disclosing non-public user information, except in emergencies. Examples include:

• Subpoena – may compel disclosure of basic subscriber information.
• Court Order – may compel disclosure of account records or transactional data.
• Search Warrant – required for disclosure of stored content such as uploaded files or private communications.

We will reject or limit requests that are overly broad, lack legal authority, or conflict with applicable law.

Emergency Requests

If law enforcement believes an emergency involving imminent risk of death or serious physical harm requires disclosure without legal process, they may submit an emergency request. Requests must:

• Be submitted by a sworn law enforcement officer.
• Include a description of the nature of the emergency.
• Identify the specific information requested and why it is necessary.

RedGIFs evaluates emergency requests on a case-by-case basis.

International Requests

RedGIFs is a U.S.-based company. For requests from outside the United States, we generally require use of appropriate international channels, such as Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs), unless applicable law permits otherwise.

Preservation Requests

Law enforcement may submit a preservation request under 18 U.S.C. § 2703(f) to preserve specific account records pending receipt of legal process. RedGIFs will preserve data for up to 90 days, with a possible 90-day extension upon receipt of a renewed request.

Notice to Users

Unless prohibited by law or court order, RedGIFs may notify affected users before disclosing their information to law enforcement, to allow them the opportunity to contest the request.

All requests should be addressed to:

Vergil Services, Inc.
Attn: Legal Depatment
11766 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 900, Los Angeles, CA 90025
