Law Enforcement.

UK police forces, the National Crime Agency (NCA), Ofcom, and other competent UK authorities should send requests on official letterhead to:

legal@meetdex.net

Subject line: "Law Enforcement Request — [Force / Reference]"

Include: the legal basis (DPA 2018 Sch 2 Part 1, Investigatory Powers Act 2016, court order, RIPA notice, emergency disclosure under DPA s35(2)(b)), the specific user identifier(s), the data sought, and a custodian-of-records contact.

• Account email and registration timestamp.
• IP and device fingerprints associated with sign-ins (90 days).
• Profile content visible to other users.
• Direct messages — stored encrypted at rest; produced only on lawful request.
• Payment metadata (Stripe ID, amount, date). We do not hold full card details.
• Reports filed by or against the user.

If a request relates to an imminent threat to life, mark it "EMERGENCY DISCLOSURE — RISK TO LIFE" and we will respond as soon as practicable, normally within 24 hours.

We honour preservation requests for up to 90 days pending a full disclosure request.

We notify users when their data is requested unless we are prohibited from doing so by law or court order, or notification would risk an investigation or someone's safety.

Aggregate numbers of requests received and complied with are published in our quarterly Transparency Report.
