Data Access Restrictions in the USA for Wasabi Users

Wasabi prioritizes the protection of customer privacy and ensures that customer data is not voluntarily disclosed to law enforcement. Wasabi encrypts customer content at rest to prevent unauthorized access. However, Wasabi is obliged to comply with United States law. In response to the Schrems II decision, United States President Biden signed an Executive Order on October 7, 2022, which includes further safeguards limiting access to data by United States intelligence agencies. Law enforcement requests are likely to be very uncommon, but if such a request is received, Wasabi will challenge any legal request it believes is improper and / or seek to have the request made directly to you. Only if required by law will Wasabi provide the limited information it has access to. Unless prohibited from doing so, Wasabi will notify you of any such request. Customers have the option to encrypt their content before uploading it to the services, in which case Wasabi will not have access to it, even if compelled.
