Vibz Law Enforcement Guidelines

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.


1. Scope

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.

2. Required legal process

Vibz produces user data only in response to valid legal process appropriate to the data category requested:

Request typeLegal process required
Basic subscriber information (e.g. account creation date, account status)Subpoena or equivalent compulsory process
Non-content records (e.g. login records, IP addresses, message metadata, transaction history)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 interceptTitle III wiretap order

Vibz may request additional documentation to verify the legitimacy of any request.

3. End-to-end-encrypted content

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.

What Vibz can produce for E2EE communications, in response to appropriate legal process:

identifier, delivery status, and counterparty identifier;

servers (typically within 24 hours after delivery);

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.

4. Emergency disclosure requests

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.

5. Preservation requests

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;

legal@marketvibz.com.

A preservation request alone does not authorize disclosure; disclosure requires the legal process described in Section 2.

6. User notice

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.

7. Format and submission

(we generally need at least fourteen (14) days for non-emergency requests).

8. Cost reimbursement

Vibz may seek reimbursement of reasonable costs for responding to legal process under 18 U.S.C. § 2706.

9. Civil litigants

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.
