When to Contact Data365
Common triggers include:
- A fatality or serious-injury loss
- A commercial-auto loss involving dashcam video or mobile-device data
- A preservation demand or suit papers
- An SIU referral
- A custodian departure, device replacement or reassignment, or account closure
Preservation may need to begin before the contents of a potentially relevant source are fully understood.
Routine use, retention limits, access changes, device turnover, or deletion can change or eliminate digital evidence and increase the risk of preservation disputes or allegations of spoliation.
