Norwegin Privacy Laws Require a valid Court Order for any Data Disclosure

Why We Require a Norwegian Court Order to Disclose User Data

March 3, 2026 Andersen

Recent reports reveal that some companies are handing over user data when served with a subpoena by authorities. At Runbox we monitor this trend with concern and want to take the opportunity to make it clear that we will not disclose user data to anyone unless certain very specific and stringent criteria are met.

A subpoena, warrant or request from any government or foreign agency is not enough to meet our requirements. If an entity requests access to any user data, Runbox will by principle respond by requesting a Norwegian court order pursuant to the Norwegian Criminal Procedure Act before disclosing any information.
