Lantern Transparency Report

The table below shows the number of legally binding requests received from government or law enforcement agencies. Under American law, information requests from foreign courts or law enforcement are subject to a "dual criminality" provision, meaning that the request is upheld by an American court only if the same crime is punishable by at least a one-year prison sentence under American law, had it taken place in the United States. Should we receive a valid legal order from an American Court, it is important to note that Lantern is technically unable to associate a Lantern account with the real identity of user and Lantern is technically unable to associate a Lantern IP address and corresponding time stamp with a single user IP address or a single Lantern user.

There's a limited set of circumstances where Lantern may be able to confirm that an individual has an account. For example, if Lantern is presented with an email address, we may be required to confirm whether or not an account with that email address exists. We accept any email address during registration because the email address is not verified.

However, confirming that an account exists does not result in any usage information being disclosed, because:

Lantern servers do not and will never log:

• Linking Lantern account to real identity (such as purchase information)
• Connection logs (time stamps of connection of IP addresses from client to Lantern server)
• Browsing history
• Traffic destination or metadata
• DNS queries
