Warrant Canary
India
We do not publish a warrant canary for India. That is because the law there does not allow the kind of statement a canary makes, not because this page is being used as a warning.
Why there is no canary
Due to local regulations regarding telecommunications and national security, we are legally prohibited from publishing secret government data requests in this jurisdiction. Doing so, even indirectly via a warrant canary, may risk severe legal or criminal penalties for our local staff. Therefore, no dynamic canary is published for this jurisdiction.
Relevant governing legislation includes the Information Technology Act, 2000. Section 69A: Prohibits the disclosure of information regarding the existence or non-existence of secret government data requests.
Relevant legislation
Below we've added links to relevant legislation, for your convenience. These are not exhaustive, and you should always consult with a lawyer if you have questions about the law in your jurisdiction.
