This is a request under the provisions of the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act. Please process this request under both regulations to release the maximum amount of materials. I hereby request the following records:
I request copies of any and all reports, including social media reports, correspondence, documents, emails, files, letters, memos, tapes, cds, audio, video, electronic, and/or other records about, related to, or referencing me, Birgitta Jónsdóttir, during the period of time beginning Jan. 2010 to the present. I prefer to receive the requested record in the electronic format in which it was created and/or is maintained.
I have reason to believe that this office has records on me as the website Twitter.com received a subpoena for my information, and I believe other online service providers received similar subpoena.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
