stored communications

Stored communications refer to messages and data that are kept on electronic devices or servers, such as emails, texts, or social media messages, instead of being actively transmitted. These communications are saved for later access and can be retrieved by users or services, often for personal or business purposes. Legal frameworks govern how these stored communications are protected and accessed, particularly concerning privacy rights. In essence, they are the digital records of our conversations that we can reference at any time, but which also raise questions about security and confidentiality.
