RegionRequests
North America4
Europe1
Middle East and Central Asia1

We report regions rather than countries where a single request could identify the person it concerned.

What we disclosed

No user data. We do not have messages, contact lists, account details, phone numbers or logs of who connected to which relay, so there was nothing to disclose.

Notes

After a widely reported vulnerability in a common encryption library in April, every relay was given new transport keys. No authority asked for, or received, anything as a result.
