This signed statement is a periodic transparency signal about secret legal process, compelled disclosure, and compelled compromise affecting Elektrine.

Elektrine has not received or been subject to:

  • A National Security Letter
  • A FISA order
  • A gag order preventing disclosure of a legal demand
  • A secret order requiring disclosure of user data
  • A secret demand for bulk access to user data

Expiration

Elektrine intends to publish a new signed canary every 7 days. This canary should be treated as expired after 10 days unless a newer signed statement changes the schedule.

If this canary expires without replacement, assume Elektrine’s transparency posture has failed. The operator may be legally restrained, compromised, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to warn users directly. Expiration does not prove any single cause, but users should treat continued use for sensitive activity as high risk until a new signed canary or credible explanation is published.

Verification

Download the statement, signature, and public key. Then verify locally:

gpg --import canary-key.asc
gpg --verify current.md.asc current.md

A missing or expired update means the canary is stale. It does not, by itself, prove that any specific legal demand or event occurred.
