20 Pa.C.S. § 3904

User direction for disclosure of digital assets

Known as the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act

The act spans §§ 20-3901 to 20-3918 (18 sections).

(a) Use of online tool.--

(1) A user may use an online tool to direct the custodian to disclose or not disclose some or all of the user's digital assets, including the content of electronic communications.

(2) If the online tool allows the user to modify or delete a direction at all times, a direction regarding disclosure using an online tool overrides a contrary direction by the user in a will, trust, power of attorney or other record.

(b) Nonuse of online tool.--If a user has not used an online tool to give direction under subsection (a) or if the custodian has not provided an online tool, the user may, in a will, trust, power of attorney or other record, allow or prohibit disclosure to a fiduciary of some or all of the user's digital assets, including the content of electronic communications sent or received by the user.

(c) User's direction.--A user's direction under subsection (a) or (b) overrides a contrary provision in a terms-of-service agreement which does not require the user to act affirmatively and distinctly from the user's assent to the terms of service.
