This quarter, we made no proactive reports to law enforcement. These are when an agent overhears violence or threats. It is never about a customer's online activity; we do not track that. From our stats, we make proactive disclosures about 5 times per year, with a record of 5 in one quarter. 7/9

5) Disclosures Made at the Initiative of the Organization
During this reporting period, TekSavvy did not perform any disclosures to government agencies on our own initiative.
This category describes any disclosures TekSavvy made proactively. We only make voluntary disclosures if TekSavvy becomes aware of a real and imminent threat to someone’s wellbeing or when we are required by law to make such a disclosure. These kinds of circumstances do not arise often. When they do, they most frequently result from one of our agents overhearing physical violence during a phone interaction with our customers.
TekSavvy Policy
We record all of our phone conversations with our customers, within the technical constraints of our systems. These recordings are retained for a period of two years to assist in the resolution of service-related or billing disputes.

We received 2 "Administrative" requests from agencies that are not technically "law enforcement", but had power to *compel* disclosure, i.e. we had to disclose. Administrative agencies are typically a tax agency or the CRTC's enforcement folks. In this period, we disclosed in 1 out of 2 cases. 6/9

4) Administrative Requests
Of the 39 requests received during this reporting period, 2 requests for information were
“administrative requests”. TekSavvy provided the requested information in response to 1 request but did not have any relevant information in response to the other request.
This category describes any requests for information about TekSavvy’s customers made by government agencies exercising their administrative powers. Administrative powers are, broadly speaking, powers that are created by law and exercised by government agencies or government officials, ranging from tax audits to the issuance of licences and permits.

There were 10 emergency requests this quarter, and we identified subscribers in all 10 cases. Average is under 8 requests, so this is a tad high but fairly typical. Our disclosure rate in response to those requests seems consistent -- our policy for when to respond has not changed. 5/9

2) Emergency (Exigent) Requests
Of the 39 requests received during this reporting period, 10 were requests for information in relation to exigent or emergency circumstances. TekSavvy provided the requested information in response to all 10 of those requests.
This category includes all requests made in relation to “an emergency that threatens the life, health or security of an individual” as set out in subsection 7(3)(e) of PIPEDA which allows organizations such as TekSavvy to disclose a subscriber’s personal information without their knowledge or consent.
TekSavvy Policy
Before disclosing information in response to an exigent or emergency request, TekSavvy requires the agency making the request to answer a series of questions intended to establish the urgency of the request and the importance of the requested information. This approach ensures compliance with subsection 7(3)(e) of PIPEDA before we disclose the requested information.

Requests from federal agencies remains very low compared to pre-2024, at just 2. From 2020-23, the avg number of fed requests per Q was 25; since 2024, it has been under 5. Fed requests dropped in 2024, while Prov requests rose. We don't know why it's happening; changes in police practices? 🤷 3/9

It features two lines: yellow for provincial requests and blue for federal requests. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 50. Provincial requests fluctuate between roughly 10 and 44, with noticeable peaks in Q3 of 2022 and 2024, and show a rising trend in 2024.

Quarterly Transparency Report
Reporting period: July 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025
Published April 2026
Introduction
The purpose of this report from TekSavvy is to provide insight into our disclosure practices by detailing how often we receive and respond to government agencies’ requests for the personal information of our end users.
This edition of our Transparency Report contains information about requests that we received between July 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025. As of the date when this report was published, at least six months have passed since we received or responded to each of those requests.
The Government of Canada has endorsed the development and issuance of transparency reports. Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) has subsequently developed Transparency Reporting Guidelines. Although we have adopted most of those Guidelines, we have decided to deviate in respect of how we present the data.

...visited this incredibly weird steampunk museum, ...and generally saw a lot of waterfalls! Thanks for reading this. I'm posting more photos over on my #pixelfed account, pixelfed.social/andykm, so follow there for more. 7/7

Other than the Milford Track, we hiked at the base of Aoraki/Mt Cook, NZ's highest peak, ...saw the southern stars (find the Southern Cross!), ...spent a night on a boat in a fjord, ...saw glowworms, 6/7

Photograph. Two small human figures stand on opposite ridgelines with arms raised, silhouetted against a snow‑capped mountain and blue sky with scattered clouds.

Photograph. Close‑up of green fern fronds in the foreground, with tiny blue points of light scattered on a dark, damp rock surface behind them.

In the 1800s they used pigeons to communicate, but by the early 1900s they had a phone line; there are still remnants of wires and phoneboxes there. There’s still no cell service near the track; they use walkie-talkies. But here's a phone box built into a tree: 5/7

I know I'll get roasted for this, but NZ honestly feels a bit weird in that there is almost no wildlife at all. There are native birds but no native mammals and no predators, but it's even rare to see many birds. But we did see some rare ones including this Kea, an alpine parrot: 4/7

We basically hiked up this valley, over this mountain pass, the Mackinnon Pass, to this waterfall (Sutherland Falls, actually the reason this track was developed in the first place), and then out through this rainforest (welcome to Jurassic Park): 3/7

There were 7 emergency requests, and we identified subscribers in all 7 cases. One of these was a disclosure to a foreign law enforcement agency. That's the first time we have ever disclosed customer information to a foreign agency; we did it this time because we judged it to be urgent enough. 5/9

Emergency (Exigent) Requests
Of the 49 requests received during this reporting period, 7 were requests for information in relation to exigent or emergency circumstances. TekSavvy provided the requested information in response to all 7 of those requests.

(not in screenshot: 7 requests is slightly above average in a quarter. On average, we get 6 per quarter. The maximum was 10 in Q1 of 2024)

TekSavvy’s response to one of these exigent requests was a disclosure of a customer’s name, address, and email address to a foreign law enforcement agency. TekSavvy took this unusual step in response to an urgent and extreme threat that, in our evaluation, justified the disclosure and qualified as an exigent request in our policy framework. We informed the subscriber of both the request and the disclosure.

So that August 2024 decision was appealed by various parties, to the CRTC, to court, and direct to Cabinet. CNOC, Rogers, and TekSavvy all appealed it back to the CRTC, asking them to "review and vary" the decision (hence an "R&V" process). THAT's the decision that's expected tomorrow morning. 6/8

3) Informal Requests
Of the 40 requests received during this reporting period, approximately 5 were informal requests. TekSavvy did not provide any information in response to any of those requests.
Informal requests are requests that lack legal authority. This means that the agency making the request is not doing so under any law—they are simply asking for us to voluntarily provide them with the requested information.
The most common kind of informal requests received by TekSavvy are “jurisdiction requests”. A jurisdiction request is a document prepared by a law enforcement agent that is intended to gather information about the location of an end user, but not their identity. Jurisdiction requests are not court orders and because we are not required to disclose information in the absence of a court order, our policy is not to disclose information in response to jurisdiction requests.
Note that it is difficult for us to know the exact number of informal requests received during the rele

Finally, as always: Sometimes our numbers don’t add up perfectly, or may not be totally complete, mostly because it's hard to perfectly keep track of every informal request, including so-called "jurisdiction requests". There may be small discrepancies in our numbers due to that. 6/7

Non-disclosure orders are time-limited. The odd time somebody tries to make one open-ended, we push back. I don't think we've ever had one that tries to prevent disclosure forever. By far the most common period is six months, hence our reporting timelines (reporting in on Q2 2024 in Jan 2025).
