Government & Law Enforcement Data Requests

The Send · Steward of the King LLC · Last updated: August 13, 2026

This policy describes how Steward of the King LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”), operator of The Send (getthesend.com), handles requests from public authorities and law enforcement for personal data or personal information of users, including Platform Data obtained from Meta and other social platforms through permissions users grant in the Service.

1. Scope

This policy applies to requests from public authorities (including law enforcement, courts, regulators, and national security agencies) seeking user personal data we hold in connection with The Send, such as account identifiers, connection metadata, content users stored in the Service, logs, and data obtained from Meta or other platforms via authorized APIs.

It does not limit our obligation to comply with valid legal process. It sets the process we follow so disclosures are lawful, limited, documented, and—where permitted—subject to challenge and user notice.

2. Required review of legality (legal validity review)

We require a legal validity review before disclosing personal data in response to a government or public-authority request.

Before any disclosure, a responsible person for Steward of the King LLC (or retained counsel, when engaged) will review whether:

• The request is in writing and identifies the requesting authority and matter;
• The request appears to be issued under applicable law and within the authority’s jurisdiction;
• The process type is appropriate (for example subpoena, court order, warrant, or other compulsory process where required);
• The request is sufficiently specific (accounts, date ranges, data categories) and not overbroad;
• We actually hold responsive data;
• Any non-disclosure, sealing, or delayed-notice terms apply;
• Emergency or exigent circumstances are properly documented if claimed.

Informal requests (phone calls, unauthenticated email, social messages) are not sufficient. We will not disclose personal data solely based on informal asks.

If the request is incomplete, unclear, or facially invalid, we will seek clarification or decline until valid process is provided.

3. Challenging unlawful or improper requests

We maintain provisions to challenge requests we consider unlawful, improper, or overbroad.

Where we determine that a request may be unlawful, lacks proper legal basis, is jurisdictionally defective, is unduly broad, or conflicts with applicable user-protection or platform requirements, we may:

• Object in writing to the requesting authority;
• Seek to narrow the scope of the request;
• Move to quash, modify, or limit the process where available;
• Consult qualified legal counsel;
• Delay production pending resolution of the challenge, except where immediate compliance is legally required and no good-faith challenge path remains.

Challenges are evaluated case-by-case in good faith. We do not guarantee that every request can be defeated; we commit to a process that allows challenge when a request appears unlawful or improper.

4. Data minimization

We follow a data minimization policy for government disclosures: we disclose only the minimum information necessary to comply with a valid request.

• We interpret requests narrowly and produce only responsive data categories and time periods.
• We do not volunteer unrelated accounts, full database dumps, or data outside the request’s scope.
• Where a request can be satisfied with less sensitive data (for example account identifiers and dates rather than full content), we prefer the narrower production when legally sufficient.
• We do not create new analytics solely to expand what we hand over beyond what we hold and what the process requires.
• Platform tokens and credentials are protected; we do not disclose secrets beyond what is legally compelled and necessary.

5. Documentation of requests and responses

We document government and public-authority data requests, our responses, legal reasoning, and the actors involved.

For each request we retain, at minimum:

• Date received and method of receipt;
• Requesting authority, case/reference number (if any), and contact information provided;
• Copy of the process or written request;
• Internal reviewer(s) and any counsel involved;
• Legal reasoning summary (why we complied, narrowed, delayed, challenged, or declined);
• What data was disclosed (categories and approximate volume/time range), or that no data was disclosed;
• Date of response and form of production;
• Whether user notice was given, delayed, or legally prohibited;
• Retention of records for a reasonable period consistent with legal and security needs.

Records are stored securely and accessed only by persons who need them for compliance, security, or legal defense.

6. User notice

When not legally prohibited, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users that we received a request for their data before or after disclosure, as circumstances allow. If a non-disclosure order, sealing order, or applicable law prohibits notice, we will comply with that restriction until it expires or is lifted.

7. Emergency requests

In genuine emergencies involving imminent risk of death or serious physical injury, we may act on properly authenticated emergency process under applicable law. We still document the request, the emergency basis claimed, what was disclosed, and who approved the response.

8. National security and classified process

Where the law restricts what we may say about national security process, we comply with those restrictions. Subject to law, we still apply internal legality review, minimization, and documentation to the fullest extent permitted.

In the past 12 months, if we have not received or responded to national security requests for user personal data, we will answer platform questionnaires accordingly and truthfully.

9. Service providers

Infrastructure providers (for example hosting) may process data as processors to operate The Send. Steward of the King LLC remains the controller that determines purposes and means of processing Platform Data obtained from Meta for The Send. We do not sell user personal data. Disclosures to public authorities are made by us under this policy, not by casual sharing with unrelated companies.

10. How to serve process

Legal process related to The Send should be sent to:

Steward of the King LLC
Re: The Send — Legal Process
Email: [email protected]
Subject line: “Legal process — The Send”

We may require service through methods recognized under applicable law. Email alone may not perfect service where formal service is required.

11. Relationship to other policies

This policy works together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. If there is a conflict about government requests for user data, this policy governs the process for handling those requests.

12. Changes

We may update this policy by posting a new version with a revised date. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
