The RIPE NCC receives information requests from Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) and tries to facilitate the provision of any required publicly available information. The RIPE NCC does not provide any confidential or private information to LEAs without a court order or other legally enforceable order or request under Dutch law.
In 2021, the RIPE NCC received 57 information requests from LEAs, two of which were binding orders from Dutch law enforcement authorities. Overall, the RIPE NCC received a similar number of LEA requests as previous years. Despite the number of LEA requests from several different jurisdictions, LEAs seem to acknowledge the RIPE NCC’s procedures when the RIPE NCC advised that it either did not have the information or required a Dutch court order for non-public information.
