  • Photos, videos, and other multimedia
  • Application data and social media activity available on the device
  • Web browsing history and internet activity
  • Location data, GPS information, and mapping artifacts
  • Device metadata, timestamps, and system information
  • Deleted and hidden data when technically recoverable
