Now keep it safe: three things
- Keep your photos and files unedited. The receipt only matches the originals. Put them in an album such as “My records”.
- Save this receipt to your camera roll.
Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.
- Email it to yourself.Email it to myself

How to keep notes that hold up
Write notes as soon as you can. Keep the original account rather than replacing it later; the venue decides what weight it gets.
- Write it down straight away, on paper or in the box on a step.
- Put the date, time and place at the top, and who you spoke to.
- Use their words where you can; separate what you saw from what you were told.
- Sign or initial a paper note, photograph it and add the photo.
- Never edit an old note. Add a new dated entry when something changes. A device save time is not independent time evidence or proof of event order.

Real cases: why the saved copy matters.
Real cases where dated records mattered. We don’t claim a time receipt would have changed the result.
United States New Jersey federal · 2013
Deleting requested posts can affect what juries infer
An injured person shut down an account after requests for records, and the contents were lost. Under the old rule, jurors could assume the lost records would have hurt that person's case; fees were denied. The order did not decide the injury claim.

Deletion penalties need not erase the underlying claim
A person and lawyer removed Facebook posts and gave false replies, but much was recovered. The top state court refused a new trial despite those acts. It also restored the jury's payment award by rejecting a cut to it.

Proves / Doesn’t prove
Proves
A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.
Doesn’t prove
It does not prove identity, origin, truth, location, sending, delivery, consent, authorization, completeness, rights, acceptance or outcome.
It does not prove identity, origin, truth, location, sending, delivery, consent, authorization, completeness, rights, acceptance or outcome.
These are the bounds of a completed proof. The local tester does not establish any time. The chosen court, scheme or regulator decides what to accept.
Questions, answered plainly.
Your file stays on your device. During normal receipt creation, your device sends a randomized code made from its fingerprint, plus encrypted recovery data. It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking. Privacy Policy.
What context belongs with a saved post?
eSafety lists the platform, URL, account details, dates and relevant wider pattern. A dated picture alone does not establish those facts.
