What is a warrant canary?
A warrant canary is a method of informing users about government surveillance requests that companies may be legally prohibited from disclosing. It works through omission rather than disclosure.
If this page stops being updated, or if any of the statements above are removed or marked red, it may indicate that Patrins has received a legal order that we cannot discuss. The absence of a statement serves as the signal.
Why this matters
Even with zero-knowledge encryption, governments may attempt to compel companies to:
- Build backdoors into encryption systems
- Provide metadata about users
- Weaken security protocols
- Install surveillance capabilities
Our warrant canary ensures that if we are ever forced to compromise our principles, you will know—even if we cannot tell you directly.
