The Match Group Government Law Enforcement Portal has recently moved and we are now using a new system, Kodex, for all Law Enforcement requests. If you already have a Kodex account, please use your account to search for the Match Group tile to submit requests. If you do not have a Kodex account, please go to https://app.kodexglobal.com/match-group/signin to register for Kodex using your government issued email address. Once approved, you will be able to submit legal requests for Match Group, as well as many other organizations who are also using Kodex. If you have any questions or difficulty accessing Kodex, please contact ().

This is a tool for authorized law enforcement officers or government officials to securely submit quick questions, legal or emergency requests, receive updates on these requests, and communicate directly with the Match Group legal team.

• Legal Request Match Group can respond to a legal request about a user (such as a warrant, subpoena, etc.) and produce available information when the appropriate documentation/paperwork is provided.

With appropriate legal process, we can provide registration information (such as an email address, IP address, photos, DOB, etc.), communication history, etc. For more information, please submit a Quick Question through the Match Group Government Law Enforcement Portal by clicking “Get Started”.

Match Group is prepared to provide non-user content (such as email address, IP address, etc.) information to law enforcement in response to a search warrant, court order or other type of legal document which would be sufficient to require the production of such information under the laws of your jurisdiction. However, in light of our legal obligations, Match Group cannot disclose user content data (such as the content of messages) except in response to a valid search warrant or order issued under 28 U.S.C. § 1781 et seq (the “MLAT”). Under the MLAT, you must first contact the Central Authority in your country, who will make a request pursuant to the MLAT.

A law enforcement agency outside of the United States that is seeking records from a brand based in the United States, will require MLAT if content of messages are being sought. A law enforcement agency within the United States that is seeking records from a brand based outside the United States, will require MLAT if content of messages are being sought.

For more information, please submit a Quick Question through the Match Group Government Law Enforcement Portal by clicking “Get Started”.

To obtain records from a brand based in the United States, we will need a validly issued subpoena or search warrant. If you need the content of messages, we will need a search warrant – otherwise a subpoena will suffice.

A law enforcement agency within the United States that is seeking records from a brand based outside the United States, please see the requirements for international legal requests.
