Requests for Customer Data by Individuals

Third parties seeking Customer Data should contact the Customer regarding such requests. The Customer controls the Customer Data and generally gets to decide what to do with all Customer Data.

Requests for Customer Data by Legal Authority

Wallow is committed to the importance of trust and transparency for the benefit of our Customers. Except as expressly permitted by the Contract or as described in this policy, Wallow will only disclose Customer Data in response to valid legal process.

Wallow requires a search warrant issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or the equivalent legal process in the applicable jurisdiction to disclose the contents of Customer Data.

Wallow does not voluntarily disclose any data to governmental entities unless:

There is an emergency involving imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to any person, or
To prevent harm to the Services or Customers

Wallow also does not voluntarily provide governments with access to any data about users for surveillance purposes.

Where to send requests

All requests by governmental entities or parties involved in litigation seeking content data associated with Customers who are under contract with Wallow, Inc., should be sent to legalprocess@wallow.com.
All requests by governmental entities or parties involved in litigation seeking content data associated with Customers who are under contract with Wallow, Inc., an Irish Company, should be sent to irishlegalrequests@wallow.com. These requests will be processed by personnel located in New York.

Information to include in requests

All requests should include the following information:

The requesting party
The relevant criminal or civil matter
A description of the specific Customer Data being requested, including the relevant Customer's name and relevant Authorized User's name (if applicable), Wallow workspace URL, and type of data sought

Requests should be prepared and served in accordance with applicable law. All requests should be focused on the specific Customer Data sought. All requests will be construed narrowly by Wallow, so please do not submit unnecessarily broad requests.

If legally permitted, Customer will be responsible for any costs arising from Wallow's response to such requests.

Customer Notice

Unless Wallow is prohibited from doing so or there is a clear indication of illegal conduct or risk of harm, Wallow will notify Customer of the request before disclosing any of Customer's Customer Data so that the Customer may seek legal remedies.

If Wallow is legally prohibited from notifying the Customer prior to disclosure, Wallow will take reasonable steps to notify the Customer of the demand after the nondisclosure requirement expires.

In addition, if Wallow receives legal process subject to an indefinite nondisclosure requirement (including a National Security Letter), Wallow will challenge that non-disclosure requirement in court.

Domestication and International Requests

Wallow requires that any individual or entity issuing legal process or legal information requests (e.g., discovery requests, warrants, or subpoenas) ensure that the process or request is properly domesticated.

For data stored in the United States, Wallow does not accept legal process or requests directly from law enforcement entities outside the U.S. or Canada. Foreign law enforcement agencies seeking data stored within the U.S. should proceed through a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty or other diplomatic or legal means to obtain data through a court where Wallow is located.

Requests directed to Wallow Technologies Limited, an Irish Company, must be issued out of or domesticated in Ireland, while requests directed to Wallow, Inc., the U.S. entity, must be issued out of or domesticated in the U.S.
