Bondvia — Law Enforcement Guide

Valid Legal Process Required

Bondvia can only disclose user data in response to valid legal process. The type of legal process required depends on the category of data being requested. All requests must originate from a verified law enforcement officer or agency.

Level 1

Subpoena

Required for basic subscriber information and non-content data such as registration dates and login timestamps.

Level 2

Court Order

Required for stored content-adjacent data including device information, IP addresses, account activity logs, and profile photos.

Level 3

Search Warrant

Required for full account data including any stored chat messages. Must be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

International

MLAT

Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty process required for requests originating from non-US jurisdictions that lack bilateral enforcement agreements.

⚠️

Non-emergency requests without valid legal process will be declined. Requests that do not include proper documentation, or that attempt to obtain data outside the scope of the presented legal process, will be returned without fulfillment.

ℹ️

Critical distinction: Google Login vs. Guest Login users Google Login users: Name and email address are on file, provided via Google OAuth at account creation. This information may be disclosed with valid legal process.

Guest Login users: Fully anonymous — no name, no email address, and no real identity is on file. Bondvia cannot produce identity data that it does not collect. Law enforcement should be aware of this limitation before submitting a request.

Data We Do NOT Hold

The following categories of data are not collected or retained by Bondvia. Requests for this data cannot be fulfilled regardless of the legal process presented.

No video recordings of any kind — video calls are not recorded, stored, or logged on Bondvia's servers at any time.
No biometric data — Bondvia does not collect facial geometry, fingerprints, voiceprints, or any other biometric identifiers.
No precise GPS location — only country-level location approximation may be derived from IP address at the time of registration. Real-time location is never tracked.
No government ID documents — Bondvia does not perform identity verification and does not hold passports, driver's licenses, or any official identification documents.
No real names or email addresses for Guest Login users — guest accounts are fully anonymous by design. No identity information exists to be disclosed.
No payment card data — all in-app purchases and subscriptions are processed exclusively by Google Play. Bondvia does not receive, store, or have access to any payment card or billing information.

Emergency Disclosure — Imminent Harm

🚨 Emergency Voluntary Disclosure

In cases involving an imminent risk to life or serious physical harm, Bondvia may voluntarily disclose limited available information without formal legal process. This authority is used sparingly and in good faith consistent with applicable law.

To invoke emergency disclosure, contact us immediately:

Email: strangerchat.partner@gmail.com
Subject line must be exactly: EMERGENCY — Bondvia — Imminent Harm
Include in the message body: agency name, badge or case number, nature of the emergency, and specific user identifier (Bondvia User ID or email address if known)
Response time: within a few hours of receipt during active monitoring periods

🚫

Scope limitation Emergency disclosure does not apply to routine investigations, cold cases, property crimes, or any matter that does not involve an immediate, credible threat to human life or physical safety. Misuse of the emergency channel may result in delays for genuine emergencies.

Preservation Requests

Law enforcement agencies may request a preservation hold on specific account data while formal legal process is being obtained. Preservation does not constitute disclosure — preserved data will not be released without a subsequent valid legal process document.

How to submit a preservation request:

Email strangerchat.partner@gmail.com with subject line: DATA PRESERVATION REQUEST — Bondvia
Include the specific user identifier (Bondvia User ID, email address, or username), your case number, and law enforcement agency name
Preserved data will be held for an initial period of 90 days
The preservation period may be renewed for one additional 90-day period by submitting a renewed request before the initial period expires
Preserved data will not be released without a subsequent subpoena, court order, or search warrant of appropriate scope

🔒

Preservation does not equal production. A preservation request secures data against routine deletion only. To receive the data, a separate legal process request meeting the requirements in Section 1 must be submitted within the preservation window.

How to Submit a Request

All standard legal requests must be submitted by email only. Bondvia does not accept fax, postal mail, or telephone requests at this time.
