Information for law enforcement officials
AnonPaste operates a global platform that provides secure paste and file sharing services. We are committed to complying with valid legal process and assisting law enforcement in their investigations while protecting user privacy and rights. It is not our intent to make law enforcement's job any harder.
Contact: Law enforcement officials can contact us directly at [email protected]. To receive a response, you must clearly identify yourself as a law enforcement officer through your badge & case number, or other information such as your rank, agency, and unit. It is a crime to falsely impersonate a law enforcement official.
Law Enforcement Contact: [email protected]
Strict Verification Required:
To protect our user base from social engineering and impersonation, we act on trust. We only respond to requests sent from official government domains.
Emails from commercial or generic domains will be ignored.
You must clearly identify yourself with your Name, Rank, Agency, and Badge/Case Number.
Warning: False impersonation of a law enforcement official is a crime and will be reported.
AnonPaste accepts direct service of legal process from our primary operational jurisdictions. Select your region below:
Requires: Valid Administrative Subpoena or Grand Jury Subpoena.
Requires: Court Order under 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d).
Requires: Probable Cause Warrant (Search Warrant).
Important: All requests must be provided in (or translated into) English.
Challenge of Unreasonable Requests: We will challenge and may refuse to comply with requests that lack a clear legal basis, including requests made without evidence of a crime being committed, requests made for political reasons, or censorship requests that lack proper legal foundation. We reserve the right to require formal legal process, domestication, or diplomatic channels (MLAT) for any request we determine to be overbroad, abusive, or legally deficient.
A warrant canary is a method by which a service provider can inform its users that it has not received certain types of legal requests, while being legally prohibited from disclosing the receipt of such requests. If we receive certain types of legal process that we are prohibited from disclosing, this canary will be removed or updated to reflect that.
As of July 8, 2026, AnonPaste has NOT received:
Important: This warrant canary is updated regularly. If this canary is removed or not updated, it may indicate that we have received one or more of the above types of legal process that we are prohibited from disclosing. We will update this canary at least monthly, or more frequently if circumstances require.

A paste link is required for all requests. Please provide the full URL of the paste in question (e.g., https://anonpaste.com/share/xxxxx).
Without a paste link, we cannot locate or provide information about specific content. If you do not have a paste link, please check your investigation materials or contact the reporting party.
We keep limited user information for a limited time frame, as minimally required to provide our service and comply with local laws. User information is not held indefinitely.
Important: If a paste has been deleted by the user, we typically cannot provide any information about its content or the user who created it, as we do not retain deleted content.
Child Safety: AnonPaste proactively reports all Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and related abuse to the CyberTipline operated by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
We report all suspected CSAM that we detect through our automated systems, as well as any instances reported to us by our users via our abuse reporting channels to NCMEC.
AnonPaste offers different types of pastes with varying levels of data availability. Understanding these types is crucial for law enforcement requests:
Encrypted pastes require decryption keys, which are not held by us.There is nothing we can do to decrypt them or provide any data regarding their content. Encryption and decryption occur entirely client-side.
For encrypted pastes, the most we can do is:
We cannot:
Serverless pastes: No data is held on our servers. The data is embedded in the link itself. We cannot provide any information in requests relating to serverless pastes beyond confirming that the URL format is valid.
For serverless pastes, we have no records, no logs, and no ability to access the content. The content exists only in the URL parameters and is processed entirely client-side.
AnonPaste may apply geographic restrictions to content based on local laws and regulations. When requesting geo-restricted content:
Current Active Restrictions:
| Restriction Type | Countries/Regions | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Content Upload Blocks | IN (India), BD (Bangladesh) | Temporary restrictions due to high levels of abuse |
| Increased Moderation | IN (India) | Enhanced spam filtering and moderation |
| Viewing Content | US (Some US/EU states), EU (European Union), UK (United Kingdom) | Age-restricted or sensitive content may be restricted in certain jurisdictions |
AnonPaste's primary market is the United States, with secondary markets in Canada, United Kingdom, and the European Union/EEA. We follow all laws and regulations from these jurisdictions to the fullest extent. Our policy is as follows:
If you believe content violates laws in your jurisdiction, please provide:
Note: All censorship requests will be publicly disclosed unless restricted by law or court order, including information about who made the request and under what legal basis.
Unreasonable Requests Will Be Challenged: We will challenge and refuse to comply with censorship requests that lack a clear legal basis, are made for political reasons, or are not supported by evidence of an actual crime. Requests without proper legal foundation will be rejected and may be publicly disclosed.
For content that violates our Terms of Service: We recommend using our abuse reporting form. This is the easiest and fastest route for takedown requests.
Content violating our Terms of Service is typically taken down within 24 hours and requires no legal orders. This route is recommended for both law enforcement and regular users when dealing with:
Copyright and DMCA requests have their own dedicated page and process. This law enforcement page is not for copyright purposes.
For copyright infringement claims, please visit our DMCA page and follow the DMCA takedown process.
All public pastes go through basic filtering to prevent abuse and harmful content:
Restrictions apply country to country: Our automated systems and human reviewers apply restrictions based on local laws and our Terms of Service, with geographic restrictions applied as appropriate.
In accordance with applicable law, AnonPaste may disclose information without delay to law enforcement if the request involves imminent danger of death or serious injury to any person.
Emergency disclosure requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Law enforcement officials with emergency requests should:
Note: Even in emergency situations, we may require follow-up legal process depending on the type of information requested and applicable law.
Direct Service Acceptance (Discretionary):
To facilitate rapid cooperation, AnonPaste accepts direct service of legal process via email from law enforcement agencies in the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union.
We generally waive the requirement for personal service or domestication of subpoenas for these jurisdictions if the request is sent from a verified official government email address.
Note: Acceptance of legal process via email is a voluntary courtesy. We explicitly reserve the right to require formal service, domestication, or diplomatic channels (MLAT) for any request—even from our primary jurisdictions—if we determine the request is overbroad, abusive, or legally deficient.
Other Jurisdictions:
For requests from countries outside these regions, we generally require that requests be issued through appropriate diplomatic channels, such as Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) requests.
Exceptions & Cooperation:
The information available depends on the specific type of legal process provided and our data retention policies at the time of the request.
Legal Process Required: Valid subpoena or equivalent legal process.
We may have limited transactional data or access logs, but we retain such data for only a limited amount of time. If significant time has passed, this data may no longer be available.
Legal Process Required: Court-issued warrant or other court order.
For server-stored pastes, we may be able to provide content with appropriate legal process. However, some pastes are serverless (content embedded in the URL) or use client-side encryption with keys we do not possess, which limits our ability to provide content. See the Special Paste Types and Limitations section for more details.
Legal Process Required: Court-issued warrant or other court order.
Deleted Content: We do not retain archives of user-deleted or expired pastes. Once a paste is deleted, the data is permanently erased and unrecoverable.
