Mixpanel Transparency Report

Reporting Period: July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022

Mixpanel is committed to respecting the privacy rights of individuals in every country around the world. Transparency is a cornerstone of any privacy program and we go to great lengths to ensure that we provide as much insight as possible into how your data is used and disclosed. Like many companies, Mixpanel may receive requests to produce information from law enforcement agencies. These requests can come in the form of search warrants, subpoenas, court orders, preservation requests and National Security Process letters.

While Mixpanel must comply with lawful requests from law enforcement authorities, we are also committed to reviewing requests to ensure they are legally binding, questioning law enforcement, as permitted by law, on the scope of the requests to the extent we deem them to be overly broad, and publishing the results of this process to the extent that we are permitted to under applicable law.

This Transparency Report covers all requests received by Mixpanel between July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. We publish these reports every six months, delayed by 180 days.
