Measures and assurances regarding U.S. government surveillance have been implemented by Akeyless, and Akeyless agrees and hereby represents it maintains the following additional safeguards: 

  1. Akeyless maintains industry standard measures to protect the Customer Data from interception (including in transit from Customer to Akeyless and between different systems and services).

  3. No court has found Akeyless to be: (i) the type of entity eligible to receive process issued under section 702 of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (“FISA”); (ii) an “electronic communication service provider” within the meaning of 50 U.S.C § 1881(b)(4) or a member of any of the categories of entities described within that definition.

  5. If Akeyless becomes aware of any law enforcement agency or other governmental authority (“Authority”) attempt or demand to gain access to or receive a copy of the Customer Data (or part thereof), whether on a voluntary or a mandatory basis, then, unless legally prohibited or under a mandatory legal compulsion that requires otherwise, Akeyless shall: (i) inform the relevant Authority that Akeyless is a Processor of the Customer Data and that Customer, as the Controller, has not authorized Akeyless to disclose the Customer Data to the Authority; (ii) inform the relevant Authority that any and all requests or demands for access to Customer Data should be directed to or served upon Customer in writing; and (iii) use reasonable legal mechanisms to challenge any such demand for access to Customer Data.
  6. Notwithstanding the above, if, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the related Authority’s intended access to Customer Data, Akeyless has a reasonable and good-faith belief that urgent access is necessary to prevent an imminent risk of serious harm to any individual or entity, these subsections shall not apply. In such event, Akeyless shall notify Customer, as soon as possible, following the access by the Authority, and provide Customer with relevant details, unless and to the extent legally prohibited to do so.
  7. Akeyless will inform Customer, upon written request (and not more than once a year), of the types of binding legal demands for Customer Data Akeyless has received and complied with, including demands under national security orders and directives, specifically including any process under Section 702 of FISA.
