Guidelines for Law Enforcement
These guidelines are intended for law enforcement personnel seeking to request information about SparkFun customers or customer orders:


Public User Information
User information is held by SparkFun in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions of Sale. We require a subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process to disclose information about our users.
Some user profile information is public such as various comments the user has posted, an optional profile image, an alias, and some optional biographical information. Public profile information is provided at the user's discretion. That information is not verified by SparkFun and may be inaccurate.
Requests for User Information
SparkFun is located in Niwot, Colorado, and will only respond in compliance with U.S. law to valid legal process.
SparkFun will accept legal process from law enforcement personnel via hand delivery, fax, at 1- 303-443-0048 (Attn: HQ/Admin & Legal), or via mail at the following location:
SparkFun Electronics
c/o Operations & Legal

SparkFun does not accept legal process via e-mail and acceptance of legal process by these means does not waive any objections, including the lack of jurisdiction or proper service.
Requests From Non-U.S. Law Enforcement
U.S. law authorizes SparkFun to respond to requests for user information from foreign law enforcement agencies that are issued via U.S. court either by way of a mutual legal assistance treaty or a letter rogatory. It is our policy to respond to such U.S. court ordered requests.
Information Required Upon Request
When requesting information, your request must include:
- The customer name and any products in question
- Details about the specific information being requested and the relationship to the investigation
- A valid e-mail address so SparkFun may respond upon receipt of your legal process.
