Law Enforcement Guidelines

Maiker cooperates with law enforcement in accordance with applicable law. This page describes how we handle official requests for user information.

Valid legal process

We disclose user data to law enforcement only in response to valid legal process, such as a subpoena, court order, or search warrant, unless a valid exception applies (for example, an emergency involving imminent danger of death or serious physical injury).

Emergency requests

If you believe there is an emergency involving imminent danger, contact local law enforcement first. Law enforcement can then submit an emergency disclosure request to hello@meetmaiker.com identifying the nature of the emergency.

How to submit a request

Law enforcement agencies should send legal requests, on agency letterhead, to hello@meetmaiker.com. We will acknowledge receipt and respond in accordance with applicable law. We do not require notarization but do require the request to identify the specific account or information sought.

User notice

Except where prohibited by law or court order, Maiker will make reasonable efforts to notify the affected user before disclosing their information.

Preservation requests

We will preserve account records for 90 days upon a valid preservation request from law enforcement, pending receipt of formal legal process.

VIP subscriptions are billed and managed through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Refunds for subscription charges are subject to Apple's and Google's respective refund policies, not Maiker's. You can request a refund directly through your Apple ID or Google Play account.
