NDO Fairness Act: Changes to Data Access Notification
New rules change how citizens are notified when the government accesses their electronic data. They require a written court justification for delaying notification and specify when and how citizens will receive information about data access and a copy of disclosed information.
Key points
The government must get written court approval with justification to delay notifying you about access to your electronic data.
Notification delay can last up to 60 days, with possible extensions if the court provides renewed written justification.
After the delay period ends, you will receive a copy of the warrant or order and notice about what data was accessed or if no data was accessed.
You have the right to request a copy of the disclosed data within 180 days of receiving notification.
The act requires the Attorney General to report annually on the number of delayed notification requests and their outcomes.
