This policy governs government, law enforcement, regulator, subpoena, court order, and emergency disclosure requests received by NEXQ.

## 1. Intake
All requests must be routed to legal/compliance. Staff must not disclose user, customer, patient, or confidential information in response to informal requests.

## 2. Review
We review requests for jurisdiction, validity, scope, specificity, user/customer notice, conflicts of law, confidentiality, and data minimization.

## 3. Notice
Unless legally prohibited, emergency circumstances exist, or notice would be counterproductive, we aim to notify affected customers or users before disclosure.

## 4. Emergency requests
Emergency disclosure requests involving risk of death or serious physical harm must be escalated immediately to legal, security, and designated executives.

## 5. Health data
Requests for PHI or health information require HIPAA, state health privacy, reproductive health, substance-use, mental health, and customer contract review before disclosure.

## 6. Transparency reporting
Where appropriate, publish aggregate request metrics without identifying users or customers.
