Law Enforcement and Subpoena Policy

CamSoft is the operator of this site filipinawebcams.com. and all affiliated websites (hereinafter “we”, “us”, “our”, etc.). We maintain operational policies prohibiting the disclosure of customer information without the customer’s express consent except as required to comply with a court order, search warrant, summons, subpoena, or other valid legal process received by us. If you require information regarding a customer, or other data in our possession, you must transmit a proper request to our Legal Contact set forth in the “Instructions” below.

Law Enforcement Requests

We support law enforcement efforts to fulfill their duties and protect the public. Pursuant to a variety of privacy laws, we are generally prohibited from providing user data in the absence of a subpoena and cannot typically disclose the contents of emails or other electronic communications in the absence of a court order or search warrant. Please review applicable law before submitting requests for customer information.

We endeavor to respond within fourteen (14) business days to valid law enforcement inquiries. However, in some cases, additional time is required. If you are submitting an emergency request requiring immediate attention, please describe the nature of the emergency and how the requested information will assist in addressing the emergency circumstances.

We respond to requests to preserve user data pending receipt of legal process. When submitting a preservation request, please provide as many account identifiers as possible such as the username, email address, legal name, telephone number, and billing address.

Non-Law Enforcement Inquiries

We typically require a subpoena or court order before providing user information to private parties. We further reserve the right to request additional information from the requesting party, including without limitation, authenticated copies of court pleadings, in order to verify that the requested information is relevant to any civil or administrative matter. If you wish to send us a subpoena for user information, please transmit the document to our Legal Contact set forth in the Instructions below.

Instructions

When seeking user information from us, please include the name of the user(s) and events associated with the information in question, as well as all other pertinent information and legal documentation, and transmit your request via email to our Legal Contact at:

Retention of Customer Data

We do not guarantee the existence, accuracy, or regularity of our storage or backup services.

In the event of receipt of a legal preservation request from law enforcement, we will undertake our best efforts to preserve the data identified in such request, to the extent required by applicable law.

Notification to Customers

We reserve the right, but do not undertake the obligation, to notify the affected customer prior to responding to a civil or administrative subpoena and to delay compliance for up to ten (10) calendar days, in order to allow our customer to move to quash the subpoena or obtain a protective order from a court of competent jurisdiction, excepting emergency circumstances or where otherwise prohibited by law. Confidentiality is typically maintained when responding to criminal investigations. Nothing in this Policy is intended as legal advice. Please direct any legal questions to your own legal counsel.

Research: USD 75.00/hour.
Copies: USD 0.25/page.
Media Storage Devices (e.g. – CD, DVD, portable drives, etc.): Actual cost.

We also reserve the right to charge an administration fee to the affected customer, the amount of which is within our sole discretion.

Release of Customer Data in Other Circumstances

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to disclose customer information when, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to the following:

• Satisfying any legal obligation;
• Identifying, contacting, or bringing legal action against someone who may be violating any of the user agreements and/or policies governing the access or use of our services;
• Investigating fraud or deceptive activity;
• Maintaining the security of our system(s), servers, datacenters, or properties;
