Subpoena Policy

EarthLink Business does not release personally identifying information about our customers except in limited instances related to law, security, or safety, or with a customer's express permission.

To request customer information from EarthLink Business in a case, you must serve EarthLink Business at the address listed below with a valid subpoena or court order and agree to compensate EarthLink Business for subpoena response services. Prior to responding, EarthLink Business may require you to provide a copy of the complaint or other supporting documentation to demonstrate the materiality of the information requested. Subpoenas for information other than customer information must be served in accordance with applicable law. Registered agent information is on file with the Secretary of State offices.

In response to a valid subpoena, it is EarthLink Business' policy to notify the customer of the request for their information in non-emergency situations, EarthLink Business will generally respond after approximately fifteen (15) days unless the customer presents EarthLink Business with notice of having filed a motion to quash the subpoena or having sought similar protection from a court. EarthLink Business reserves the right to object to the subpoena on any applicable grounds.

If you are seeking information regarding a customer, please provide as much of the following as possible: customer name, account number, email address, mailing address, and telephone number. If you are seeking information related to an IP address, please include the date, time and time zone applicable to your request. Please note that, regarding requests for customer or IP address information, EarthLink Business does not retain such information indefinitely. For example, customer call records that are older than eighteen months, customer information that is older than six months and IP address information that is older than four months may be unavailable.

EarthLink Business does not typically retain certain information such as outgoing email, downloaded email, or Web/chat logs. Please be advised that the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., prohibits an electronic communications service provider, such as EarthLink Business, from producing the contents of an electronic communication, even pursuant to subpoena or court order, except in limited circumstances.
