Preservation and Emergency Requests
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Two kinds of request cannot wait for the slow path. A preservation request says: keep this data safe while we get the legal power to see it. An emergency request says: a person may die, and we need a small piece of data now.
They are opposites in one way. A preservation gives nothing away. An emergency disclosure gives data away with no court order. So the first should be easy to grant, and the second needs your most careful judgement, made quickly.
Focus: freeze a snapshot and watch its expiry date. In an emergency, apply the test, give the minimum, and write the record.
Learning objectives
- Say what a preservation freezes, and what it does not.
- Set a preservation period, and handle renewal and release.
- Keep a preservation record with an expiry date.
- Avoid steps that could alert the user, and decide your rule on notice of a preservation.
- Apply the emergency test and tell an emergency from an urgent case.
- Decide who approves an emergency disclosure, give only the minimum, and keep an emergency decision record.
