We cannot comply with requests for the personal information of our members, including email addresses, IP addresses, or others.
If you are a member of a police department or government agency and are currently investigating an ongoing case, you may contact the Legal Team at team+counsel@webhostingm.com
Our policy is to comply as best as we can with any ongoing police investigations. Any abuse complaint request to this email address not made by a law enforcement officer will be ignored.
If you are not a law enforcement officer and would like to have a site removed or obtain personally identifying information about a WebHostingM user, you may do so by filing a John Doe lawsuit against the WebHostingM user and obtaining a court order, which we will honor.

As part of our efforts to remain transparent, a copy of each legal notice we receive may be sent to the Lumen project (opens in a new tab) for publication and annotation. Lumen is a joint project among U.S. law schools that seeks to provide resources about free speech online and intellectual property law. It is also a database of requests to remove content from internet platforms. Lumen will redact the submitter's personal contact information (i.e. phone number, email, and address).
You can see an example of such a publication https://www.lumendatabase.org (opens in a new tab).
