Warrant Canary

Some government orders come with a gag or sealing order: we would be legally forbidden from telling you they exist. A warrant canary is a regularly published statement asserting that we have not received such orders in a given jurisdiction. As long as that canary is current, the statement still holds there.

Where a canary is not permitted

Some jurisdictions explicitly prohibit canaries by law. In these jurisdictions, stating that a secret order has not been received can itself be unlawful. We do not publish a canary for such jurisdictions, and the absence of one should not be read as a warning. We've included a list of common jurisdictions where canaries are explicitly prohibited by law for your convenience, but you shouldn't consider this list exhaustive. It's ultimately up to you to know the nuances of your own jurisdiction.
