Law-enforcement and legally-required sharing of identifiable user information

Outside the community-guideline rules, CNN states that it may share personally identifiable information in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or where CNN believes disclosure to be necessary, or as otherwise required or permitted by law. Terms of Use again points at the CNN Privacy Policy for further detail.

CNN may share personally identifiable information in response to a law enforcement agency’s request, or where we believe it is necessary, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • The disclosed trigger situations are law-enforcement requests, CNN's own 'necessary' belief, and legal requirement/permission — the card enforces no additional filter the source does not impose.

Not stated here

  • The CNN Privacy Policy那 discounts content is not supplied in this saved source; the card cannot add what that policy governs, only that Terms of Use direct users to it.
