Last updated: 2026-05-03 Status: v1 draft pending counsel review.
These Guidelines are for law-enforcement officials seeking information from Vibz under valid legal process. They are not legal advice and do not modify any party's legal rights or obligations.
Vibz is operated by Midwest Technical Training & Consulting INC ("Vibz"), a U.S. company. Vibz services include encrypted direct messaging, encrypted private group messaging, public groups, public posts and live streams, Creator channels, and a virtual-currency (Token) system.
These Guidelines apply to requests for user data from criminal, civil, or regulatory authorities that have jurisdiction over Vibz. For requests originating outside the United States, Vibz generally requires use of an applicable Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) or letter rogatory process unless the request qualifies for emergency disclosure under Section 4.
Vibz produces user data only in response to valid legal process appropriate to the data category requested, and only data that is specified with particularity and that Vibz is reasonably able to locate and retrieve. Overly broad requests (for example, "all user data" or requests without a date range) will be refused or narrowed.
| Request type | Legal process required |
| Basic subscriber information (phone number, display name, friend code, date of birth, account creation date, account status, last-seen timestamp) | Subpoena or equivalent compulsory process |
| Non-content records (message metadata, delivery/read receipts, session creation/expiry timestamps, call records, token transaction history, and — where the Companion Accounts for Minors feature is enabled — companion-link status and companion-view access logs) | Court order under 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d) or equivalent |
| Stored content of communications (where Vibz holds it) | Search warrant issued under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41 or equivalent state warrant procedure |
| Real-time intercept | Title III wiretap order |
Please note the limits of what we hold:
records**, and cannot produce them.
never record or store call audio or video.
Vibz may request additional documentation to verify the legitimacy of any request.
Direct messages and private-group messages are end-to-end encrypted. Vibz does not have the keys required to decrypt this content and cannot produce the plaintext of these communications regardless of legal process.
Vibz does not retain E2EE message contents in the ordinary course of providing the Service: delivered message bodies are purged from active servers approximately 24 hours after delivery, and undelivered messages are stored in encrypted form for up to 30 days while delivery is attempted, then deleted.
What Vibz can produce for E2EE communications, in response to appropriate legal process:
identifier, delivery status, and counterparty identifier (retained up to 12 months);
servers under the schedule above;
What Vibz cannot produce:
expiry.
For public posts, public-group messages, and other server-readable content, Vibz can produce the content under appropriate legal process.
In an emergency involving imminent danger of death or serious physical injury, Vibz may voluntarily disclose information without legal process under 18 U.S.C. § 2702(b)(8). Emergency requests must:
address;
nature of the threat, the identifier of the account at issue, and the data sought;
emergency@marketvibz.com with subject line beginning EMERGENCY DISCLOSURE REQUEST.
We may follow up with the requester before disclosing.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 2703(f), Vibz will preserve the records of an identified account for ninety (90) days, with one ninety-day extension on written request. A preservation request must:
identifier we can resolve;
A preservation request alone does not authorize disclosure; disclosure requires the legal process described in Section 2.
It is Vibz's policy to notify users when we receive legal process seeking their information, with reasonable time to respond, unless:
order);
such as a risk to life or to a child;
Vibz is participating in.
Submit legal process to:
Vibz Legal, [postal address to be added by counsel]
Include in your submission:

or other identifier);
(we generally need at least fourteen (14) days for non-emergency requests).
Vibz may seek reimbursement of reasonable costs for responding to legal process under 18 U.S.C. § 2706.
Vibz reports apparent instances of child sexual exploitation appearing on its service to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline as required by 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, and preserves the associated evidence in accordance with its statutory obligations.
Civil subpoenas and other civil legal process should be served on Vibz's registered agent. Vibz typically does not produce content of communications in response to civil legal process; basic subscriber information may be available with a properly served subpoena.
