📢 Happy New Year, happy my birthday, and happy time for another #TekSavvy quarterly transparency report.
TekSavvy is the only ISP in #Canada (AFAIK) to publish a quarterly Transparency Report documenting the requests we got from law enforcement agencies, how we handled them, and what we disclosed to them.
Today, we’re reporting on Q2 of 2023, and I’m summarizing that report here. 🧵👇🏼
Last week, we published our transparency report covering April to June 2023. You can download the report, and years of our previous reports, at https://www.teksavvy.com/policies/legal-stuff/transparency-report/
The number of requests and disclosures in this report is in line with past reports. In Q2 2023, we got 45 requests and orders, compared to:
58 in Q1 2023
46 in Q4 2022
33 in Q3 2022
53 in Q2 2022
59 in Q1 2022
So this Q was right in the middle of the range of other recent periods, and lower than last year.

One detail: Since the start of the pandemic, when some public health measures (such as contact tracing apps) risked the collection of covid-related health information, we have reported that, as far as we know, we have never received any requests or orders that are related to covid19. That is still true, and with those measures now no longer in use, we do not expect this to change, and starting with this report, we are no longer highlight this. Except for here, of course, one last time.

TekSavvy remains the only ISP in Canada (AFAIK) that publishes detailed information about how we handle requests from law enforcement agencies. If you're interested in learning more about that, you can read our Law Enforcement Guide. There you can learn about what info we have about subscribers, and when we do or do not disclose it. https://www.teksavvy.com/policies/legal-stuff/law-enforcement-guide/
