Same app, different data: Explaining to the court why device and cloud data don’t match
After the second episode of Legal Unpacked, a question came in that mirrors a frequent issue raised in court: A judge asks, “You obtained data from an application on the device, and from the cloud provider for data for the same account stored remotely. Can you explain to the court why the two sets of data don’t match?” The underlying assumption is that device data and cloud data should align. In reality, they are fundamentally different, and misunderstanding that distinction risks missing potential evidence.
