711.04 Priorities; user directions for disclosure of digital property.
(1) A user may use an online tool to direct the custodian to disclose to a designated recipient or not to disclose some or all of the user's digital property, including the content of electronic communications.

(2) If a user has not used an online tool to give direction under sub. (1), or if the custodian has not provided an online tool, the user may allow or prohibit disclosure to a fiduciary of some or all of the user's digital property, including the content of electronic communications sent or received by the user, in a will, trust, power of attorney, or any other governing instrument.
(3) A user's direction under sub. (1) or (2) 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.
