Virtru recognizes that being 100% transparent with our customers is vital to our position as a digital privacy leader. We have taken aggressive measures to protect our users’ information and data from unwanted third parties, and you deserve to know what we are doing with your data.
The United States government (or other government entities or agencies) may try to seek access to information with a variety of legal powers. Some of its powers are used in criminal investigations – principally, search warrants and wiretap orders which require probable cause, and subpoenas, pen/trap orders and/or similar orders which do not. Other powers are used in foreign intelligence or national security investigations.
That is why we release Transparency Reports biannually. These reports detail the type of requests we have received and whether we have challenged them. Note that the government may seek to limit the detail we can provide in future transparency reports, as it has done with other companies. We will always fight for more detail rather than less.
Virtru has taken a strong stand in favor of privacy, as described in our privacy policy and our government surveillance article. We will fight secrecy orders, non-targeted or “bulk” orders, and orders for encryption keys based on any standard less than probable cause.
