Our Commitment to Transparency
Drive. is committed to being transparent about how we handle government and law enforcement requests for user data. Because of our zero-knowledge architecture, we cannot provide file content — even if legally compelled. This report details all requests received and how we responded.

Data We Could Provide
In the cases where we complied with legal requests, the information provided was limited to basic account metadata — account creation date, last login timestamp, and device type. In all cases:
- Message content: Could not be provided. Drive. does not possess encryption keys or plaintext files.
- Media content: Could not be provided. Media is encrypted client-side.
- Call recordings: Not applicable. Drive. is a storage service.
- Contact lists: Could not be provided. Contact discovery uses hashed data.
