Google requires a legal process to disclose user information, but the administration can issue a subpoena to compel content related to certain types of emails and other services, while on the basis of a court order, they can access the IP or the mail subjects.
While, with a search warrant, the field is even greater, and they can force the disclosure of information such as Gmail messages, documents and YouTube videos and photographs.
Amazon
Amazon distinguishes between two types of information, on the one hand the “without content” that refers to subscriber information such as name, address and billing information, and content information, that is the data stored in the user’s account.
