Either way, it makes your service completely vulnerable to the government's interpretation of the law. If they force you to disclose your customers' data in secret tomorrow, or face jail time, I have no doubts what your choice will be. I'm not calling you a liar, btw, I just think you're naive/oblivious, and considering you just now discovered what ACC is and had to check with your lawyer (who isn't even sure how it interacts with other laws), I wouldn't use your service to send any critical information. Ever. |

We have no doubts either. The privacy policy clearly states we will give your data to the Australian authorities if supplied with the proper supporting documentation.
I didn't just find out about the ACC, though I wasn't aware of the details. But I'm not a lawyer, just a sysadmin, so I don't need to be. The "its not clear" bit is simply that there are two laws that appear to be in contradiction with each other. Its never been tested in court. And thus, its not clear. But we have confidence that what our position is legally supportable or we wouldn't be here.
