6. International Requests

Dear Nobody is operated by Intelliquinte L.L.C. in the United States. We respond to international law enforcement requests as follows:

MLAT Requests

We respond to requests made through valid Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) processes. MLAT requests should be processed through the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of International Affairs.

Direct Foreign Requests

We generally cannot respond to direct requests from foreign law enforcement agencies unless:

• Made through proper MLAT channels
• Accompanied by a valid U.S. court order
• An emergency involving imminent danger of death or serious physical injury

GDPR & EU Requests

For EU law enforcement agencies, we recommend proceeding through MLAT channels. For GDPR-related requests from data protection authorities, contact support@dearnobody.org.

7. Preservation Requests

We will preserve records for 90 days in response to valid preservation requests pending service of formal legal process (18 U.S.C. § 2703(f)).

Preservation Request Requirements

• Must be on official agency letterhead
• Must identify specific submission ID(s) or date ranges
• Must include requesting officer's name, badge number, and contact information
• Must cite the legal authority (18 U.S.C. § 2703(f))

Preservation requests can be extended once for an additional 90 days upon request. After 180 days total, formal legal process is required.

8. CSAM & Mandatory Reporting

In accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, we report apparent child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

Our Reporting Process

• All suspected CSAM is reported to NCMEC within 24 hours of discovery
• We preserve content and metadata as evidence
• We do not notify users when making these reports
• We cooperate fully with NCMEC and law enforcement investigations

NCMEC Reports

Law enforcement agencies investigating CSAM should obtain records of our NCMEC reports through NCMEC's Law Enforcement Services (LES) portal.
