1. Investigatory Powers Act 2016#
We are designated under Part 9 of the IPA. We maintain the technical capability required, but we do not provide content or metadata without a valid Targeted Interception Warrant or appropriate authorisation.
2. Process#
- Request received via the LI gateway from a designated requesting authority.
- Validated by Boundless legal counsel against the IPA framework.
- Where invalid, returned with a written reason.
- Where valid, executed under dual control. Both the request and the execution are written to the Layer-23 immutable audit chain.
- Annual transparency report published in aggregate (no operational detail).
3. Communications data retention#
Required retention periods are observed only where a notice under the Data Retention and Acquisition Regulations 2018 is in force. Beyond statutory requirements, we keep the absolute minimum.
4. Transparency report#
We publish aggregate statistics annually: number of requests received, number complied with, number challenged, number returned as invalid. No operational detail is published as that would defeat the lawful purpose of the request.
5. LI liaison#
Authorised authorities should contact li-liaison@boundless.tel. Owner: Head of Compliance.
