Disclosure of Non-Public Information It is our policy at Black Throb to disclose non-public member information in connection with a criminal or civil investigation only with a member's consent or upon receipt of a valid subpoena, civil investigative demand, court order, search warrant, or other similar valid legal process.

Black Throb reserves the right to object to any requests for non-public information. Where Black Throb agrees to produce non-public information in response to a lawful request, we will conduct a reasonable search for the requested information.

Here are the kinds of information we will agree to produce, depending on the kind of legal process we are served with:

With member consent: We will provide private account information if requested, directly to the member, or to a designated third party with the member's written consent once we are satisfied that the member has verified his or her identity.

With a subpoena: If served with a valid subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar legal process issued in connection with an official criminal or civil investigation, we can provide certain non-public account information, which may include:

Signup date Friends only content Email address associated with the account Mobile number associated with the account IP address(es) used to access the account at a specified time or event relevant to the investigation With a court order or a search warrant: We will not disclose account access logs unless compelled to do so by either (i) a court order issued upon a showing of specific and articulable facts showing that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the information sought is relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation; or (ii) a search warrant issued upon a showing of probable cause. This may include:

Any logs which would reveal a user's movements over a period Member or IP-specific analytic data such as browsing history Security access logs other than account creation or for a specific time and date Only with a search warrant: We will not disclose any private communication of a member except under a search warrant and the showing of probable cause.

Examples of cases where a search warrant is needed include, but are not limited to:

Contents of any private conversation between two or more members (specific timeframe needs to be specified) Contents of any private conversation with Black Throb, including verification pictures Preservation Requests We will take steps to preserve account records for up to 90 days upon formal request from law enforcement in connection with official criminal investigations, and pending the issuance of a court order or other process.

Notifications It is our policy at Black Throb to notify members about any pending requests regarding their accounts, unless we are prohibited by law or court order from doing so, or in rare, exigent circumstances.

Before disclosing member information, we will make a reasonable effort to notify any affected member(s) by sending a message to their verified email address providing them with a copy of the subpoena, court order or warrant so that they can have an opportunity to challenge the legal process if they wish."
