Email Privacy Act updates privacy protections for electronic communications stored by third-party service providers.

The Email Privacy Act amends the privacy protections for electronic communications stored by third-party service providers. It updates the definition of "provider of electronic communication service" to include "remote computing service" and modifies the conditions under which a governmental entity can access stored communications. The bill specifies that access is only allowed with lawful consent or a warrant, and it allows service providers to notify subscribers or customers of legal requests. The changes aim to balance consumer privacy interests with law enforcement needs.
