A warrant canary is a method by which a communications service provider reveals that it has been served with a secret government subpoena, despite legal prohibitions against acknowledging the existence of the subpoena. It publishes a regular transparency report (the "canary") declaring that it has not received any such subpoenas; if the report stops being published, users are left to assume they have received such a subpoena.

As of 2024-05-16, I declare the following:

1. Up until now, in the lifespan of ari.lt, we have not received nor complied with any government agency orders to disclose user data hosted on our servers.
2. No warrants, subpoenas, or other government notices have been served to us that compels us to disclose any confidential information connected with our services, inclusive of the sharing of the encryption keys.
3. There have been no seizures or non-voluntary physical visits or intrusions by law enforcement or government officials which would affect the confidentiality of user data or interfere with our services.
4. We have not been subject to any gag orders which would prevent us from stating that we have received legal process seeking access to user data, nor have we been forced to install any government surveillance tools onto our systems.
5. If this message is not updated or removed it means that all the above statements continue to be true.

We are dedicated to safeguarding the digital privacy and rights of our users. If any of the above points is no longer true, we will take down this message. While we cannot legally comment on the received orders as directed by a court, the removal of this warrant canary would indicate to users that a form of legal process has been served.

Note: This warrant canary carries legitimation only up until the unpublication of the statement or if it hasn't been updated in more than 3 months. A removal of this statement would be indicative of instant expiry. The statements made do not include any personal qualities of predictability and do not carry any future implications.
