Google User Data Requests
Google's reported government requests for user information, from the Transparency Report bulk export: requests, accounts and the share of requests where some data was disclosed, per country × legal process, plus the diplomatic/MLAT slice, Enterprise Cloud (GCP and Google Workspace) requests, and the US national-security figures (FISA and National Security Letters), which are reportable only as banded ranges. A tidy-long dataset: each row is one measured value identified by dataset × half-year × country × legal process × metric. Ranges are not additive and percentages must never be summed — and 2012 H2 – 2014 H1 report an 'All' aggregate alongside the per-process split, so every view on this page pins a single grain.

Global requests for user data
Requests received per half-year: the sum of per-process figures (2012 H2 onward) alongside the 'All' aggregate Google filed for the early periods.
Top 10 countries by requests
Countries ranked by user-data requests, per-process figures summed (2012 H2 onward; the early 'All'-only periods are excluded to avoid double counting).
Requests by legal process
User-data requests per legal-process type, all periods combined ('All' aggregate excluded).
US National Security Letters (banded)
NSL requests are reportable only in ranges — the lower and upper bounds per half-year.
