Snap, Inc provides law enforcement officers with a detailed guide for obtaining information about users on their platform. 


This operational Guide is provided for members of U.S. and non-U.S. law enforcement (including appropriate government officials) who are seeking to request the preservation or disclosure of Snapchat account records (i.e., Snapchat user data) from Snap Inc. (“Snap”). Among other information, this Guide provides details regarding the possible availability of Snapchat account records, the type of legal process required to compel disclosure of that data, and how to reach our Law Enforcement Operations Team.
