Information for law enforcement officials
AnonPaste operates a global platform that provides secure paste and file sharing services. We review law-enforcement requests individually, taking account of the information provided, applicable requirements, and data that may be available.
Contact: Law enforcement officials can contact us directly at [email protected]. Please identify your agency, role, case reference, and a way to verify the request.
Law Enforcement Contact: [email protected]
Strict Verification Required:
To help us verify a request, use an official agency email address where available and include your name, role, agency, and case reference.
We may ask for additional information to verify a request before reviewing it.
The documentation that may be relevant to a request depends on its circumstances and applicable requirements. This page provides general information only and does not give legal advice. Select your region below for the request contact details.
Send requests to [email protected]. Include the paste URL, the information sought, the relevant authority or documentation, and contact details for follow-up.
Request information: Please provide documents in English or include an English translation where possible.
Review: We assess each request on its own facts and may ask for clarification or additional information.
AnonPaste does not publish a warrant canary or recurring statements about legal requests. We handle requests in accordance with applicable obligations.
A paste link is required for all requests. Please provide the full URL of the paste in question (e.g., https://anonpaste.com/s/xxxxx).
Without a paste link, we cannot locate or provide information about specific content. If you do not have a paste link, please check your investigation materials or contact the reporting party.
We keep limited user information for a limited time frame, as minimally required to provide our service and comply with local laws. User information is not held indefinitely.
Important: If a paste has been deleted by the user, we typically cannot provide any information about its content or the user who created it, as we do not retain deleted content.
Child Safety: Cloudflare performs known-CSAM-hash screening on served content and alerts AnonPaste when it identifies a match.
AnonPaste is registered with NCMEC and uses the CyberTipline reporting process for relevant reports.
AnonPaste offers different types of pastes with varying levels of data availability. Understanding these types is crucial for law enforcement requests:
Encrypted pastes require decryption keys, which are not held by us.There is nothing we can do to decrypt them or provide any data regarding their content. Encryption and decryption occur entirely client-side.
For encrypted pastes, the most we can do is:
We cannot:
Serverless pastes: No data is held on our servers. The data is embedded in the link itself. We cannot provide any information in requests relating to serverless pastes beyond confirming that the URL format is valid.
For serverless pastes, we have no content record and no ability to access the content. The content exists only in the URL fragment and is processed entirely client-side.
AnonPaste may apply geographic restrictions to content based on local laws and regulations. When requesting geo-restricted content:
Current Active Restrictions:
| Restriction Type | Countries/Regions | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Content Upload Blocks | IN (India), BD (Bangladesh) | Temporary restrictions due to high levels of abuse |
| Increased Moderation | IN (India) | Enhanced spam filtering and moderation |
| Viewing Content | US (Some US/EU states), EU (European Union), UK (United Kingdom) | Age-restricted or sensitive content may be restricted in certain jurisdictions |
We assess requests to restrict or remove content individually. Any action may depend on the information provided, applicable requirements, and available technical options. We do not promise global removal or public disclosure of requests.
To help us review a request, please provide:
This section is general information and is not legal advice.
For content that violates our Terms of Service: We recommend using our abuse reporting form. This is the easiest and fastest route for takedown requests.

Copyright and DMCA requests have their own dedicated page and process. This law enforcement page is not for copyright purposes.
For copyright infringement claims, please visit our DMCA page and follow the DMCA takedown process.
Cloudflare performs known-CSAM-hash screening on served content and alerts AnonPaste when it identifies a match. This is not universal scanning of all content.
We assess emergency requests individually. Include enough information to explain the reported emergency and how to contact the requesting agency.
Emergency disclosure requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Law enforcement officials with emergency requests should:
We may ask for further information while reviewing the request.
For requests from any jurisdiction, contact [email protected].
We review requests individually based on the information provided, applicable requirements, and available data. This page does not set out legal-service requirements or provide legal advice.
The information available depends on the specific type of legal process provided and our data retention policies at the time of the request.
Basic subscriber information may be available only where a user has created an account.
We may have limited transactional data or access logs, but we retain such data for only a limited amount of time. If significant time has passed, this data may no longer be available.
For server-stored pastes, we may be able to provide content with appropriate legal process. However, some pastes are serverless (content embedded in the URL) or use client-side encryption with keys we do not possess, which limits our ability to provide content. See the Special Paste Types and Limitations section for more details.
Deleted Content: Deleted or expired pastes may no longer be available. We do not promise that historical content or records can be retrieved.
