Someone I know who was in a similar position went through a similar effort to you only to find out once they were represented that cloudflare had handed over they and their readers data in advance of the deadline.

Id be interested in hearing more about this. It stands somewhat in contrast to what their privacy policy and transparency report claims.

Most providers won't even tell you when your data has been subject to a subpoena.
