Stored Communications Act (SCA) - Know Your Rights!

Who has the right to disclose an electronic communication under the SCA (Stored Communications Act)?

a) Anyone who happens upon the communication

b) Any recipient of the communication

c) Any intended recipient of the communication

d) Any ISP receiving the communication

Final answer:

The correct answer:

The only party with the right to disclose an electronic communication under the Stored Communications Act (SCA) is any intended recipient of said communication.

Under the Stored Communications Act (SCA), the party that can disclose an electronic communication is the any intended recipient of the communication. This means option 'c' is your correct answer. While an ISP (Internet Service Provider) may receive the communication, they do not have the right to disclose it under the SCA. Similarly, anyone who happens upon the communication or any recipient do not have the right to disclose it unless they are the intended recipient of the communication.

The SCA primarily addresses voluntary and compelled disclosure of 'stored wire and electronic communications and transactional records' held by third-party internet service providers. It aims to protect the privacy of the content of files stored in a service provider's network and records kept about the subscriber.
