eSIM Provider Transparency Reports: What They Reveal

Understanding Provider Transparency Reports

Transparency reports disclose government data requests. PrivateSims maintains transparency about its privacy practices.

What Reports Reveal

• Request volume: How many data requests received
• Compliance rate: Percentage resulting in data disclosure
• Request types: Content data, metadata, or subscriber info
• Geographic origin: Which countries make the most requests
• Legal basis: Whether requests have proper legal authorization

Evaluating Privacy Providers

A zero-knowledge provider that collects no data is inherently more private than one that collects data but publishes transparency reports. See our warrant canary guide.

FAQ

Should I only use providers with transparency reports?

Reports are a positive signal but a zero-knowledge provider needs no reports since it has no data to disclose.

What if a provider has never published a report?

Lack of transparency may indicate the provider has something to hide.
