Hello, im curious how Blockchain.info is different from any other payment providers in providing
my details (email, login IPs) on law enforcement request? How is it in the reality?
Blockchain.info is not a payment provider, but that doesn't make it any less susceptible to
government requests for information. In reality, any government can gain, by court order or
legal statute, your information that you willingly (or unwilling) provided to an online site.
We shall require any third party, including without limitation any government or
enforcement entity, seeking access to data we hold to have obtained a Court Order, or proof they
are statutorily empowered to access your data and that their request is valid and within their power.
"
proof they are statutorily empowered to access your data" would refer to countries or governments
were laws exist that allow their citizens information without probable cause, orders, warrants, or the like.
In theory, this could be laws that are used for "fishing expeditions" in tyrannical regimes or even simple
national security laws in Western countries, where you have been flagged for or in a current investigation
such as terrorism.
It all depends on what country you live in. But ultimately, I do not believe Blockchain.info is going to go out of its way
to protect your rights and information, with whatever jurisdiction you are from. If they get a request, they will likely
hand over any info they may be storing for you.
