GoView is committed to protecting the privacy, security, and legal rights of our customers while supporting lawful public safety and law enforcement activities.
This Law Enforcement Request Policy describes how GoView responds to requests from law enforcement agencies, government entities, and regulatory authorities for customer information, video recordings, account data, and other records maintained by GoView.
Guiding Principles
GoView follows the following principles when responding to government requests:
Respect for customer privacy
Compliance with applicable laws
Protection of civil liberties
Transparency whenever legally permitted
Cooperation with legitimate public safety needs
Limitation of disclosures to only what is legally required
Customer Ownership of Data
Unless otherwise specified by contract, customers retain ownership of their data, including:
Video recordings
Images
AI-generated events and alerts
License plate recognition data
Access control records
Incident reports
System logs
GoView does not claim ownership of customer-generated data.
Requirement for Legal Process
GoView generally requires valid legal process before disclosing customer information.
Examples may include:
Search warrants
Court orders
Subpoenas
Administrative orders authorized by law
Other legally binding requests
Requests must be issued by a government authority with appropriate jurisdiction.
GoView reserves the right to review all requests for legal sufficiency and may reject, challenge, narrow, or seek clarification regarding requests that are overbroad, vague, or inconsistent with applicable law.
Emergency Requests
GoView may voluntarily disclose information without legal process when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent death, serious bodily harm, or significant threats to public safety.
Emergency requests should include:
Agency name
Requesting officer or official
Contact information
Description of the emergency
Explanation of the immediate threat
Specific information requested
GoView reserves the right to require verification of any emergency request.
Requests for Video Footage
Where GoView acts as a service provider and not the owner of recorded footage, GoView may direct law enforcement agencies to the customer that owns or controls the requested data.
GoView may not be able to independently authorize disclosure of customer-owned recordings.
Customer Notification
Unless prohibited by law, court order, or emergency circumstances, GoView may notify affected customers before disclosing customer information.
Notification may include:
Nature of the request
Requesting agency
Categories of information requested
Relevant deadlines
Notification may be delayed or withheld when prohibited by law or when doing so could compromise an active investigation.
Data Preservation Requests
GoView may preserve existing customer data upon receipt of a lawful preservation request.
Preservation does not constitute disclosure.
Preserved information may only be disclosed upon receipt of appropriate legal process.
International Requests
GoView generally requires foreign government requests to be submitted through appropriate legal channels recognized under United States law.
Requests originating outside the United States may be subject to additional review.

Account registration information
Contact information
Billing records

System activity logs
Video recordings

Customer credentials
Encryption keys
Administrative passwords
Unrestricted access to customer systems
Information beyond the scope of a lawful request
Government Access Requests
GoView does not provide government agencies with direct, unrestricted, or continuous access to customer systems, video streams, cloud storage, or customer accounts unless specifically authorized by the customer and documented in a separate agreement.
Transparency
Where permitted by law, GoView may publish periodic transparency reports summarizing:
Number of requests received
Types of requests received
Categories of information requested

Contractual obligations with customers
Reservation of Rights
