Personal Information Processed by Rackspace Technology
As part of the provision of services to customers, Rackspace Technology may process personal information on a customer’s behalf. Rackspace Technology’s commitment to customers in respect of such processing can be found in the Rackspace Technology Customer Data Processing Addendum. Rackspace Technology’s obligations are flowed down to Rackspace Authorized Sub-Processors.

Law Enforcement Information Requests
Rackspace Technology aims to provide transparency about the types of requests received from law enforcement and similar government agencies. Furthermore, law enforcement helps to ensure that Rackspace Technology’s services and customer data is protected from abuse or exploitation. Rackspace Technology believes there is a need to strike a balance that both enables effective law enforcement and provides strong privacy protections.
Once a year, Rackspace Technology publishes the number of legal demands for customer data received from law enforcement agencies around the world in the Rackspace Technology Law Enforcement Request Disclosure Report. While this report covers law enforcement requests, Rackspace Technology follows the same principles for responding to government requests for all customer data. Government requests for customer data must comply with applicable laws. A subpoena or its local equivalent is required to request non-content data; and a warrant, court order or its local equivalent is required for content data.
Rackspace Technology offers strong encryption as one of the many security features available for purchase. Rackspace Technology gives customers the option to manage their own encryption keys. Rackspace Technology does not support legislation that would prohibit or weaken the security or encryption technologies that would have the effect of weakening the security of the services, products or systems that Rackspace Technology offers to customers.
