Recent studies show as much as 53% of web traffic worldwide comes from mobile users, compared to 57% from desktop computers. Therefore, when looking for a user’s internet search history for evidence, you must be sure to check not only their desktops and laptops, but their phones too.
Duty to Preserve Phone Internet History Evidence
Once a party has a reasonable anticipation of litigation, they have an obligation to preserve evidence. Internet search history from a user’s phone or computer can contain relevant, discoverable evidence in a case. Failure to take reasonable measures to preserve relevant evidence could subject the party to court sanctions, or worse. In an effort to ensure proper procedures are in place to limit your risk and streamline eDiscovery, consider a Litigation Response Plan.
Many Uses of Internet Search History Evidence
While not definitive proof of other actions, certain searches can provide a better understanding of someone’s motives, or lead to the discovery of additional evidence. For example, consider these real world examples:
- The browser history showed the husband was interested in learning about how to hide marital assets at an offshore bank, which in turn lead to the discovery of financial infidelity.
- The internet history on an employee’s work computer showed they were spending at least two hours a day viewing porn – while working.
- The internet history showed when and from which website the defendant had downloaded copyrighted photos for his own website.
