Does the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 have any impact on DigitalOcean

Thanks for reaching out. I am not a lawyer or a member of our security team (but I will check with the security team to see if someone can provide more information here). I would recommend the best place to start is with our Law Enforcement Guidelines this document, intended for law enforcement agencies (and those concerned about privacy) details what information we collect and can provide to agencies and under what circumstances it is provided. Should the Investigatory Powers Bill require any substantive changes in our policy they would be documented there. I am not aware of any changes to this policy being worked on at present with respect to the new UK laws.

Thanks for your question. At this time we do not anticipate any changes as we are not classified as an ISP. We are also a US entity and require that foreign law enforcement go through the MLAT process. So, as of now, no impact, but the IPA was only signed recently and more in-depth due diligence will be conducted to determine any applicable requirements. (Security Team)
