Q. Is it illegal for my employer to read my personal text messages between me and my father on our personal cell phones?
A: It is generally illegal for your employer to read your personal text messages between you and your father if they are on your personal cell phones. Employers typically do not have the right to access personal communications on personal devices unless you voluntarily give them access or there is a specific legal justification, such as a subpoena or court order.

However, if you were using a company-issued phone or if you were connected to a company-owned network, your employer may have some ability to monitor communications depending on company policies and applicable laws. Even then, they must comply with federal and state privacy laws, such as the Stored Communications Act (SCA) and Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA).

If your employer accessed your private messages without your consent, you might have legal grounds to take action. You may want to consult an attorney for guidance based on your specific situation.
