Delaware notice of monitoring of telephone, email and internet usage (19 Del. C. 705(b))
A Delaware employer may monitor or intercept staff email only after a daily electronic notice or a one-time acknowledged notice ($100 civil penalty per violation). Pulling a mailbox archive to build an AI-training corpus is at least monitoring-adjacent, so the acknowledged notice should exist and should describe the use.
