 (a) A user may use an online tool to direct the custodian to disclose to a designated recipient or not to disclose some or all the user’s digital assets, including the content of electronic communications. 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) 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 allow or prohibit in a will, trust, power of attorney, or other record, 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) A user’s direction under subsection (a) or (b) overrides a contrary provision in a terms-of-service agreement that does not require the user to act affirmatively and distinctly from the user’s assent to the terms of service.

 (a) When disclosing digital assets of a user under this chapter, the custodian may at its sole discretion: (1) grant a fiduciary or designated recipient full access to the user’s account; (2) grant a fiduciary or designated recipient partial access to the user’s account sufficient to perform the tasks with which the fiduciary or designated recipient is charged; or (3) provide a fiduciary or designated recipient a copy in a record of any digital asset that, on the date the custodian received the request for disclosure, the user could have accessed if the user were alive and had full capacity and access to the account. (b) A custodian may assess a reasonable administrative charge for the cost of disclosing digital assets under this chapter. (c) A custodian need not disclose under this chapter a digital asset deleted by a user. (d) If a user directs or some fiduciary requests a custodian to disclose under this chapter some, but not all, of the user’s digital assets, the custodian need not disclose the assets if segregation of the assets would impose an undue burden on the custodian. If the custodian believes the direction or request imposes an undue burden, the custodian or fiduciary may seek an order from the court to disclose: (1) a subset limited by date of the user’s digital assets; (2) all of the user’s digital assets to the fiduciary or designated recipient; (3) none of the user’s digital assets; or (4) all of the user’s digital assets to the court for review in camera.
