ECPA mandates that DigitalOcean disclose certain user information to law enforcement only in response to specific types of legal process, including subpoenas, court orders, and search warrants.

Requests from Government Agencies/Law Enforcement
Except in emergencies (see more below), DigitalOcean turns over protected user information only upon receipt of a valid subpoena, ECPA US court order, or search warrant. Additionally, we will notify affected users about any requests for their account information, unless prohibited from doing so by law or court order (see more below).
Upon receipt of a valid subpoena, if these pieces of information are available, we can provide user registration information such as the first and last names, phone number, email address, the date/time stamped IP address from which a site was created, the physical address, and the PayPal / Stripe transaction information.
-Upon receipt of a valid ECPA court order, if these pieces of information are available, we can provide access logs which might reveal a user's movements over a period of time, account or private repository settings (for example, which users use certain services, etc.), security access logs other than account creation or for a specific time and date.

Upon receipt of a valid search warrant, if these pieces of information are available, we can disclose content of customer virtual machines, the content of user communications with customer support, or other forms of content data.
For legal requests from government agencies/law enforcement outside of the United States, we require that the request be served via (1) a United States court, (2) an enforcement agency under the procedures of an applicable mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT), or (3) an order from a foreign government that is subject to an executive agreement that the Attorney General of the United States has determined and certified to Congress satisfies the requirements of 18 U.S.C. 2523.

Does PIPEDA permit the cross-border transfer of personal information?
-Yes. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada’s Processing Personal Data Across Borders Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), available at https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/privacy-topics/airports-and-borders/gl_dab_090127/, state that “PIPEDA does not prohibit organizations in Canada from transferring personal information to an organization in another jurisdiction for processing. However under PIPEDA, organizations are held accountable for the protection of personal information transfers under each individual outsourcing arrangement.” The Guidelines further clarify that organizations responsible for personal information must use contractual or other means to ensure a comparable level of protection for personal information after it is transferred.

-The Guidelines state that a “transfer” of personal information to another organization for processing purposes is a “use” rather than a “disclosure” of the information assuming that the transferred information is processed only for purposes consistent with the purposes for which it was originally collected. The distinction between “uses” and “disclosures” of personal information is important because disclosures of personal information require additional consent from the individual to whom the personal information relates.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most significant legislative change in European data protection laws since the EU Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC), introduced in 1995. The GDPR became enforceable on May 25, 2018, strengthens the security and protection of personal data in the EU and serves as a single piece of legislation for all of the EU. It replaced the EU Data Protection Directive and all the local laws relating to it.
