A new page at Apples website offers a public overview of how US law enforcement can request personal data on the companys millions of users. More importantly, the \legal process guidelines\ also spell out what information Apple has at its disposal. The guidelines emphasize that law enforcement agencies must stick closely to the law and provide any required document — be it a subpoena, search warrant, or court order — if they hope to obtain any data theyre after. Any name, address, email address, or phone number youve entered when registering an Apple product can be handed over, though the company notes it doesnt make any effort to verify this data.
