Home sharing platform Airbnb said it has handled 188 requests for user information from law enforcement agencies around the world in the first half of 2016.
The company unveiled its first transparency report, reporting 31 requests from US law enforcement officials.
Airbnb disclosed the relevant information in about two-thirds of those cases, it said.
The highest number of requests came from France with 42, while Germany was third with 25.
Airbnb says it notifies specific users when a request for information is made, unless it is prevented by law.
"While negative incidents are rare, Airbnb works with law enforcement to protect the rights of our Hosts, our Guests, and the community at large," it said.
"’Our goal with this report is to provide additional insight into the number of requests that we receive, where they come from, and how often we provide information in response to them."
Airbnb said it also received two emergency requests between January-June 2016 from US law enforcement ”where the physical safety of a host, guest, or a member of the public may be at risk.’
Other major companies such as Google and Facebook also publish similar information in their own transparency reports.
