ALIBABA GROUP INTERNATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION REQUEST GUIDE

This Guide is intended for law enforcement agencies outside of the People's Republic of China ("PRC") seeking user information regarding users of certain platforms operated by subsidiaries of the Alibaba Group Holding Limited ("Alibaba Group") ("User Information").

This Guide is subject to change without notice. This Guide is applicable to requests from law enforcement agencies only. Nothing in this Guide shall be used to create any legal obligations or any enforceable rights against Alibaba Group or change Alibaba Group's legal defenses.
