Emergency Data Disclosure Without Judicial Review

This provision permits expedited disclosure of stored computer data in emergency situations without requiring judicial authorization, proportionality assessment, or notice to data subjects. While the emergency definition is narrow (significant risk to life/safety), the absence of procedural safeguards creates risk of overreach. International privacy frameworks like GDPR and the Budapest Convention recognize emergency exceptions but require either prior court approval or subsequent review, proportionality assessment, and documentation—none of which are mandated here.
