Law enforcement and regulators

Law enforcement request portal

This page is for law enforcement agencies, regulators, tax authorities and courts. Account holders should use the support page. Requests submitted through any other channel are redirected here and are not treated as served until they reach the compliance team.

How to submit a request

Send the request from an official domain of the requesting authority to the address below. A request sent from a personal or free email domain is not accepted. Include the request as a signed document on the letterhead of the authority.

Jadenex does not disclose account data without a valid legal basis. A request that does not identify a legal basis, or that is not served by an authority with jurisdiction over Jadenex, is refused in writing with the reason stated.

What a request must contain

  1. The identity of the requesting authority, the name and rank of the officer responsible and a direct telephone number and official email address for verification.
  2. The legal basis relied on, including the statute, the article and the instrument under which the request is made.
  3. The case or reference number of the investigation or proceeding.
  4. The identifiers of the account or accounts concerned. A Jadenex account identifier, a registered email address, a deposit address or a transaction hash is sufficient. A name alone is generally not sufficient.
  5. The precise records sought and the period they cover. A request for all records held without limitation is refused as disproportionate.
  6. The date by which the response is required and whether the matter concerns a risk to life.
  7. Whether a prohibition on disclosure to the account holder applies and the instrument that imposes it.

Types of request and response times

RequestWhat it achievesResponse
Preservation requestPreserves the records held at the time of receipt so that they are not lost to routine deletion. It does not disclose them.Actioned within twenty four hours of verification. Preservation is maintained for ninety days and may be extended once on a further request.
Emergency disclosure requestDiscloses records where there is an imminent risk of death or serious physical harm.Assessed on receipt at any hour. A response is provided as soon as the risk is verified.
Production order or equivalentDiscloses the records specified under a binding legal instrument.Within the period stated in the order or, where none is stated, within ten business days of verification.
Freezing or restraint orderRestrains an account or specified assets.Actioned on verification. The account holder is notified only where the order permits it.
Mutual legal assistance requestServes a foreign request through the competent domestic authority.Handled in accordance with the treaty and the domestic instrument that gives effect to it.
Regulatory or supervisory requestProvides information to a regulator exercising a statutory function.Within the period stated in the request or without undue delay.

Response times run from the point at which the authority and the request have been verified, not from the date of the email. Verification is carried out by telephoning the authority on a number obtained independently.

Notification to the account holder

Jadenex notifies an account holder of a request for their records unless a prohibition on disclosure applies by law or by the terms of the instrument served, or unless notification would create a risk to life or would prejudice an investigation into a threat to life.

Where a prohibition applies for a fixed period, notification is given after that period expires unless a further prohibition is served.

Costs and format

Records are produced in a machine readable format with an accompanying certificate of authenticity signed by an authorised officer of Jadenex. Where an authority requires a specific format, state the requirement in the request.

No charge is made for a preservation request or for an emergency disclosure request. Where production requires substantial manual work, the authority is told the estimated cost before the work begins.

Impersonation

Fraudsters impersonate law enforcement in order to obtain account data. Every request is verified by telephoning the authority on a number obtained independently of the request. A requesting officer is asked to expect that call. An officer who objects to verification is treated as an impersonation attempt and the matter is reported.
